Multi tap delay?

Yesterday, I played 2 gigs and as I had quite a bit of time before the second gig I thought I would scroll down the effects selection of my Roland GP-100 as it has several hundred effects and I only use several reverbs & delays. One patch I ran across was the "diamond echo" that is a four multi tap delay. It sounded like overkill when I was fooling around with it and I forgot to shut it off.

When the band did a test song to set the levels I had this "diamond echo" on and it sounded wonderful and spacious. I saved it and used during the gig.

My questiobn is, are there any pedals that have this "four multi tap" delay setting? It sounds very different than a standard delay<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Len Amaral on 27 September 2004 at 04:10 AM.]</p></FONT>

Len,
Just curious... Are you using two amps?... ie. stereo effects?
I have a Digitech unit that has what it calls "ping-pong" delay which allows you to set different delay times for left/right, and the Profex2 allows you to set separate delay times for left/right outputs.
I've noticed that using different delay times for left and right makes a big difference in the lush surround sound factor when using two amps.

Hi Pete:

I am using a rack setup with a stereo power amp. I also have the "ping pong" effect but I find it a bit difficult to use as the timing of the left to right ping pong can throw you off with the timing of the song.

The muti tap delay is totally different in that is "cascades" the delay, if that's the correct term, into a separate series of delays.
