Lots have asked my milkman setting I’ve made a video showing my settings kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ3bgJWXqrSSh6M

[@illydolt]

Memphis Sun sounds good to me ears

[@larrywatson3842]

Milkman good, Memphis sun just like it says, Sun recordings, i like it.

[@konjunto2477]

So is echo the same as delay?

[@SteeringSteel]

Great job at shooting out these petals James! I’ve been using an analog alien rumble seat for the last year or so I absolutely love it but that JHS sounds great too.

[@jamesoliverguitar]

I’ll check that one! Nice one Thomas

[@65GTO400]

Great video! Definitely like the Milkman sound, will have to save up😀. Great playing James!

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Thanks mike! I got my milkman second hand

[@ToddLorencUkuleleMusic]

JHS Milkman! I've probably owned over 50 delay pedals over the years. Most are pretty good for a quick slap and hard to tell apart, but you can tell the difference on slower, longer settings. Only one that ever really grabbed me though, was an Ibanez DDL, Which I still have. Also had many tape echo machines. Copicats, Roland space echos, Korg Stage echo. All good, but high maintenance. JHS Milkman, to me, is just rockabilly in a box. Light as a feather too, so great on the road and I love the boost function. Can't thank you enough for introducing me to it James! And my Vintera tele custom.

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Cheers rob ! It’s the best delay

Hello my Celtic cousin great review and playing I'm between milkman and sun pedal just have to make my mind up regards from Ireland ☘️

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Milk man for me

[@midnighthour4299]

Milkman sounds good. I use the Strymon Deco. Some delays are able to emulate tape wear, wow and flutter etc, and will sound dark like worn tape if set that way.

[@jamesoliverguitar]

I’ve tried the deco very good pedal

[@rockabillyrevolution]

great video! I am looking for a new delay and think the milkman might be the one. I tried an aqua puss recently but it was a bit too underwater sounding for my taste. These are more suited to vintage styles. I have been interested in the nocturne mystery brain also.

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Milkman is my favourite personally

[@shaibal6363]

I thought the Milkman was great and had a wonderful saturation. The Boss is also great as it's really clean, a high top and pops. I think it's nice to have both clean and saturated.

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Yeh and me!

[@largeeng]

Good video! Did you get the Dano fixed. I have one that worked fine when I put it away in its box many years ago but now it doesn't.

[@jamesoliverguitar]

I’ve not had chance gigs started back doing 5/6 week my amp has hasn’t been well but I’ll get around to it

[@maxhixon]

Shame about the Dano not working. That Milkman really does the trick out of them.Mr Echo was a new one on me but pretty cool too! 👍🎸🎵

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Yeh I’ve put the danelectro and dm3 to be fixed

[@JsnHgl]

Nice video. Thank you. I have a MXR Carbon Copy mini that either isn't very good at rockabilly slapback or I am not a very good operator. Would you suggest one of these pedals over it?

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Ive never used one illl check it out now

[@LeviBulger]

Not a great slapback on the carbon copy. It's good for longer grainier tones, but I'd recommend something like a Boss analog delay, or even their DD3 has a great slapback setting. If you're looking cheap, danelectro has great sounding slapback delays. If you want the best, nothing tops the old Macon/Ibanez AD80.

[@garypalmer8813]

boss dd3 for me

[@holyfreak8]

What are the settings you use? Time, Level and Feedback on the Boss?

[@jamesoliverguitar]

All at 12 o clock

[@kevinsumner4121]

Milkman sounds superb.

[@jamesoliverguitar]

My favourite Kevin

[@pcorriveau1982]

Sib Mr. Echo for me!

[@skybluestratocaster]

The milkman delivers

[@jamesoliverguitar]

My favourite

[@KevinHowardMusic]

What settings are you using on the milkman? Thanks!

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Kevin Howard I’ll make short clip later as loads are asking me I’ll post it here Kevin

[@KevinHowardMusic]

James Oliver Guitar Thank you! I just subscribed, so I’ll keep an eye out for it. I can get mine sounding pretty good, but really like how you have it set here.

[@zettepix2009]

You’ve sold me the Milkman. It is far superior. The Memphis has a character of its own but too much. I loved your face when you changed the settings of that one.

[@jamesoliverguitar]

My favourite pedal only one I use bare a tuner

[@fluffydelberg]

DM 2 for me!

[@LeviBulger]

That sucks you couldn't show the DM3. That's one of the BEST slapback pedals ever imo.

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Sadly it’s stopped working I need to get it fixed

[@slicksnewonenow]

Years ago, DOD made a KILLER Analog Delay... All the Rockabillies that weren't using a Boss were using a DOD... I haven't seen one in forever, but of course I probably had 100 of them over the years.😬 Ashley Kingman, who plays Takeoff Guitar for in Big Sandy and his Fly Rite Boys, is currently using those cheap little Fender "chicklet" delays to great result.... And I can't even find one of those to save my life. I've had a Danelectro Dan-Echo for about 20 years... I guess it does me OK... But that Milk Man sounds wonderful!

[@jamesoliverguitar]

I’ll check out that chicklet pedal thanks slick

[@DavidLHolzer]

Milkman all the way!

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Super pedal

[@timchurchill6975]

what do you think to berhinger .

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Nothing wrong with them Tim

[@timchurchill6975]

vd 400 im thinking of buying one but im not sure if the slap is good enough for rockabilly just wondering what you think its certainly cheap enough@@jamesoliverguitar

[@jamesoliverguitar]

Worth ago most delays do the slapback

[@timchurchill6975]

thanks@@jamesoliverguitar

[@timchurchill6975]

all the best Tim

[@petercousins1645]

Space echo takes a lot of beating, solidly made, batteries(6AA) last ages 10/10 Marshall echohead eats batteries in 25 mins unless alkaline, an absolute bastard trying to set up again if setting lost 2/10 Watkins copycat good if working Warning early models not earthed require modifcation & trying to find anyone that knows how to repair them or get parts a nightmare !

[@thedevilriders101]

Gutted. I sold my Reel Danecho before I left the UK. I want one again here in the USA, and they seem to be rare as Rocking horse s.......

[@jamesoliverguitar]
