Vox Delay Lab

[DarkAxel]

So it doesn't sound cold and boring?

I'd say no, but I haven't run it through my big rig yet, and I also tend to like the crazier settings.

It should be noted that I'm not a tone purist. When PGS Andy says something like "No pedal could ever sound like a tape delay," I say " don't are."

Also, the only delay pedal I've not liked are ones that don't get loud enough. Hell, a DD6 sounds good to me.

i once returned a timefactor after like 10 minutes of messing with it because it didnt get loud enough. wonder if that jank was cool?

also interested to hear the delay lab

My experience during tonight's practice was that a lot of the delay settings I had set previously were too upfront, so I actually had to trim back the mix or repeats. On most of the models, the 2nd repeat is much quieter than the 1st, it depends on the setting and isn't a huge problem.

Also, this pedal is very big and very tall. I think it's slightly bigger than a DL4, but it does more.

Do you know if the dry signal is kept analog or if you notice any change in your tone with the pedal on? That's usually the killer for me.

Having played many delays including the "cork sniffer" type... I completely agree.

Yup if it changes my tone in a bad way I really don't care for it. That's what's kept me away from line 6 and eventide stuff.

I like the way it sounds, but honestly have very little to compare it too in the ways of the delay. I don't have a single other delay in the house and haven't had one in a long time. I suppose at some point I can do a quick little A/B of it bypass and with a very simple delay and see what you think.

[julius_deane]

From limited testing, it doesn't seem to, but it took me months to notice it with the m9. I think it depends on the setup sometimes. I'll try to remember to take a bypass box for testing next time I'm with my big amp.

I played a TC flashback but it lacked the foot switch, because now that I have a RRR again I want to change my set up.

Sounds like too me this is a winner so I may flip/pick this up at GC tomorrow.

I seriously didn't know how cheep it was. Seems that what you pay you get a lot out of with this delay.

Who picked that custard colour for the case?
I am sure it matches some vintage Vox something or other but they should still be shot.

[ryan summit]

picked one up last night
its a blast
the sounds you can get out of it are crazy
just messed around for a couple hours with the drummer
so i didn't dig too deep
but i'm seriously in love with this thing

this is my first post on ilf--hey

[ryan summit]

dude the pitch shifter rules
and the distortion delay gets brutal
i wanna take it to the prom and introduce it to my parents

[Grrface]

Ugh. I kind of really want one of these.

[julius_deane]

omg lo-fi delay set very fast and full feedback and mix.
add an expression pedal (which you can program to anything!!!!)
I will demo this soon.

I will note, this pedal is kinda glitchy, so I think you get what you pay for. It clicks and pops when settings are changed, etc. But to me, the glitchyness is part of the appeal. As long as I don't discover that it's killing my tone, this maybe finally end my Great Big Fuckin Delay search.
