Choosing A Digital Delay For Guitar – Fun With Boss, Meris, Strymon, Line 6, OTO, Keeley & More

Why choose a digital delay? We offer some food for thought to help you through the repeating fog

Welcome to the show! We’re returning to one of our favourite topics today: delay. You’d be entirely forgiven for thinking that most digital delays are basically the same… but as we explore here, the differences are vast and potentially very confusing.
To whit, we offer three ways of thinking about digital delay, in order to help narrow your potential choices. We start with ‘old-school’ 12-bit delays that we’re calling ‘character’; moving on to modelling delays that seek to emulate classic machines of yore. We then discuss modern ‘creative’ delays which are those devices that are pushing the envelope of technology and imagination to take you far, far away from that simple, clean repeat. And yes, some pedals fall into all three categories!
The hope of all the above is – as ever – to help you ask a better question.
Don't ask ‘What delay should I buy?’
Instead try ‘What do I //really// want my delay to do?’
Enjoy the show!
