I am wanting to purchase another delay unit as the one I now have [ARION] has went south on me, Any one have a recomendation for something comparable or maybe even better?

Daniel, if you are looking for a stomp box unit, the Boss DD-3 is hard to beat, IMO. I prefer units with knobs as most of my work is on the bandstand and I don't have 5 minutes between songs to re program an FX unit.

Daniel,

If it was the analog version of the Arion stereo delay pedal (model SAD-1) I would say replace it with another unit. For the price it is hard to beat, and in my opnion is far superior to any digital delay. You can usually find these on EBay in the $30-$50 range.

I have to agree with Sam. Arion is the best.

I just got an Arion Dig. delay and I really like it. Thanks for the tip.

I've been using Alesis QuadraVerb's For a long time, with two Nashville 1000's and sometimes my Walker S.S.Pre-Amp., but; lately I've gotten lazy and just use (1) Nashville 1000 and hang my old Ibanez AD-9 Analog Delay at 300ms on the rear Effects-Loop _ Pre-Amp out, Pwr-Amp In, and have the best sound in 54 yrs.

POD Delay Modeler. Very nice with optional variable pedal. Great for steel and guitar.

For the money, look into the Danelectro cool-echo. It emulates an old tape echo by putting a tone control on the delay so that each subsequent repeat is darker than the previous note. Now they make a cool thing called a Reel-Echo. It looks like a tape echo but really is just emulating one. I saw Mooney play with one in Dallas and it was cool.
