Going Pedalshopping And Need Some Help, Delay and boost Options

[mhskeide]

Hi guys

Some of you might remember a topic I wrote some weeks ago, about design ideas for a pedal board. I think I have tossed away that idea, and I will most likely buy a complete pedalboard with bag, since that will save me some time and money for a dedicated power supply (at least if I buy the warwick-board that Zakk recommanded)

I have borrowed an Ibanez TS808 from a friend, and must honestly say I`m in love with it. When I put the overdrive on both my amp and pedal to 11, it`s all the gain I would need, and if I ever need more, I`ll probably will buy another amp or a HT-distortion pedal.
My other alternative was the Exotic booster, but with only a level knob I don`t find it too versatile. Unfortunately I have not tried it, so I might be mistaken.
So unless you have some good suggestions, the quest for boost is most likely solved already. On the other hand, I`m quite unsure about delay!

I prefer an analog delay, since I love the dark delay tones and the warm feeling. That said, I won`t be a stranger if somebody shows me a sweet digital delay neither!

So far, I`ve been looking at the Malekko Ekko 616, MXR Carbon Copy and Boss Giga Delay DD20.

At PGS they all sound good, of course ... but after reading some reviews I have the following impressions:
The malekko ekko 616 didn`t sound as good as the price says
the carbon copy sounds nice, but some complains about reliability
The DD20 seems VERY versatile and probably a lot of fun to play with, but maybe it`s a bit too much?

Thanks for all useful input
