Digital Delay question???

Post by Pete Burak »

Does anybody know of a stomp box type of digital delay (small, non-rack mount) that has a numeric readout of milliseconds?

I've found the stomp box effects can take much more of beating than rack mount gear and fit nicely in my steel seat,
but the stomp box models I've seen don't allow you to quickly dial in exactly 330ms (for example).

Any suggestions?

The Boss DD-5 stomp box has delays from 1 ms to 2,000ms and you can tap in the delay to fit the tune's tempo. What a deal! Image
Uff-Da!

I use both of those in different situations and they're great. I also use a half rack space Boss SE50 multi-fx. It's very road worthy. I've used it on the road for 8yrs, under busses and on trucks, and never had a problem. I replaced a battery once.
I set the delays 20ms apart so that they cover any tempo. They go from 250ms-390ms, and a 110ms slapback. I stole that idea off of Sonny Garrish.
