Using Delay On Guitar: Tape Echo & Analog Delay | Line 6 HX Stomp

[@eltacoslayer]

Really enjoyed the video, thank you. Enjoyed hearing some specific ways to use those delays.

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thanks so much Conner, glad you enjoyed it!

[@stereolad7031]

Thanks for the tips. I'm new to the Helix and every other KZbin clips I've found are just shredding. Appreciate the pointers...

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Glad you found it helpful! 🤘🎶🎸

[@crevlthe]

I used to shy away from the delays section, but your video was a great insightful guide on how to use them tastefully. Thank you!

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Really appreciate that, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jordanmichael2655]

This was really useful! I would usually use a boss dd7. I can’t seem to find anything that’s as easy to dial in yet.

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Boss pedals are legendary for that reason, if I works stick with it! Thanks for checking out the video

[@maksimche]

Enjoyed the tips with examples. Thanks a lot, Andrew! Need to give one more chance to the tape delay in my preset. I use analog with mod from legacy patch cuz of bigger time possibilities. Will stay here and wait for the reverb tips and ideas.

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thanks Maksim! The tape might be my favorite algorithm. More videos on the way!

[@jeremi84]

Just got the HX stomp and your video with setting tips is very helpful, hence the sub!

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Amazing, I’m glad you found it informative. Thanks for subscribing!

[@pod1808]

I enjoyed these videos about delays. I will work on my presets this weekend. Thank you so much!

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

No problem, happy to help!

[@bjrnjohannessen1862]

I like Binson Echorec 2 from 1962 and Alesis Q 2 and Q 20 and Catalinbread Echorec. Thats the absolutly best i have tried.

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

I would love to try a vintage Echorec, very cool! Thanks for checking out the video

Great video. Learned so much in 7 mins. Thanks

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Amazing! Thank you for checking it out

[@B0ssMan1]

Excellent video. What type of delay and settings do you recommend for guitar solos? (Your preference)

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thanks for checking it out! These days I use analog (Way Huge Echo-Puss) for solos/slapback and digital (Strymon DIG) for rhythmic delays and volume swells. They work really well for me!

[@dendyadiluhung8315]

So much fun to watch Awesome guide and editing Thanks bro!

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@andyskelton7520]

Brilliant! Thank you for your help. So much too choose from on the Stomp! Could you possibly do a demo on the Cosmos Echo?

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Hey Andy thanks for checking out the video, glad you found it useful. Yes, lots of delay options on the Helix!

[@russlgtr]

Awesome, and thank you, do you know how to do the classic edge sounds? Would love to see your take on it

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it. Great question, I should make a dedicated video on that! For the classic "Streets Have No Name" kinda playback delay, I like to use a dotted 8th digital delay, mild feedback. Set the mix so the first repeat is almost the same volume as the guitar, and then tap in the tempo and get the delays to fill in the gaps. I kinda touch on this during the tap tempo section of the video, let me know if that makes sense!

[@MuBispo]

Great content, bro! Cheers from Brazil ;)))

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thanks so much for checking it out 🎶

[@georgechristiansen6785]

These have been super helpful. I'm a fairly decent guitarist, but only recently got into playing electric and learning the effect parameters and controls in my HX Stomp is by far the steepest learning curve.

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

I'm glad you are finding it helpful, keep it up!

[@rickyapasan1311]

Subscribed!.. I like your videO content..it helps a lot!

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thanks Ricky! Trying to make it easy to understand

[@sniffrat3646]

Great stuff, thank you

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chris_and_music]

Thanks!

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@chris_and_music]

@@AndrewLynchMusic Btw, for these examples are you using mono or stereo delay blocks?

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

@@chris_and_music everything is in mono for this video just to keep things simple

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Drop a comment below, which delay do you use more, Tape Echo or Analog Delay?? (or another?!) ✌️

[@eltacoslayer]

On my go to snapshot I have a short tape delay always on, kick on a elephant man for snap 2, and get lost in stacking a reverse delay in snap 3

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

@@eltacoslayer very nice! I gravitated to those algorithms as well

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

@Bowie Patrick thanks Bowie, we’re looking for delay tricks but I suppose that is also a helpful tip lol

[@LewisMcDonaldBass]

Awesome video

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@TrevorHelt]

Great video!

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@seltzer5334]

Liked, and subscribed man. What kind of picks do you use? I’m always curious to know what plectrums other people are using for whatever reason. Also, if you run the hx stomp into a loud tube amp, or use one of the overdrives does it make the amp sound or feel digital? Mostly concerned with how it feels/responds when playing through an amp. Thanks man.

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thanks! I use Dunlop Tortex .88mm green picks. The HX Stomp sounds digital for sure, but I used it through a deluxe reverb for years with success. I have stopped using it since this video because I found that it was affecting my overall tone in a negative way. But with all of its features it is an incredible unit

[@benink5690]

I feel like th rn tap tempo button shoupd control any selected delay by default. This pedal is confusing but amazing.

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Yeah I agree, they expect the player to change around the settings and it can be confusing. This thing is like a small computer for guitar!

[@connerwilson2260]

What kind of delay settings would you use for lead guitar/solo?

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

My go-to solo delay is tape echo, 300-400ms, mix about 30% and just a couple repeats. Tweak it so it sits behind the main sound

[@christophergutierrez8966]

One problem im having with my stomp is that the delay is adding unwanted reverb. The only reverb im wanting is from my pedal. Is there anyway to get rid of that unwanted reverb?

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Which algorithm are you using? Typically tape and analog will have a more “reverb” quality than a digital delay, try that. Also make sure the “spread” control is at zero

[@kaioclub8860]

What humbucker is in your strat?

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Hey thanks for checking out the video. That guitar had a Suhr Thornbucker in the bridge. Standard model

[@loopie007]

Really learned a lot, but... Please don't use the zoom in and out when changing video cuts. Really hard on the eyes.

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thanks, glad it was informative! Will experiment with some different edits on the next one
