QUOTE (UncleSkillet @ Sep 19 2009, 07:47 PM)  I have always found Analog to be a much more natural, warmer sound. Digital can become a little thin and sterile. I think TC Nova is a really good digital one, but i agree to that an analog is warmer, but then its a question of what you should use it for. I mean, just for adding a lttle delay in the background of the sound, there's no need for spending a lot of money. I own an old Boss DD-2 and it works fine in live situations. //Staffay --------------------  Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

I recently got me a Vox Time Machine, it has tap delay, up to 6 seconds delay time, and a modern/vintage mode to choose either digital delay or simulate the warmth of an analog unit.
Give it a try in your shop if you can.

The best Delays I've tried is the T-REX Replica and the Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay.
The T-REX got much more options, but they're both awesome! You should check it out

QUOTE (sted @ Sep 19 2009, 07:36 PM) finally got my tax rebate, which is going on sorting out a nice new pedalboard, the list so far reads: TS-9, OCD, Hardwire Tuner, EH electric mistress, MXR 108 fuzz (or maybe muff pi) all on a diago pedal board with power station. I need to add a delay and have been quite taken with the new Nova repeater, however i keep hearing that everyone prefers analog delyas such as the EH memory man, I want something gig friendly so tap tempo is very high on the list, as is the ability to be powered from the power station, any suggestions? Oh and feel free to point me to any awesome pedals you think I should check out, I like Hendrix, SRV, Gary Moore etc Analog delays will cost you more, specially the ones packed with features like tap tempo or modulation. I am getting analog delay stomp soon, so I investigated quite a lot in the boutique and mainstream categories. I will give you some pointers if you can tell us whats the budget. This is the main thing that determines the stomp you will get, and I can narrow down the search a lot (since there are quite a few delays out there). -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
