Pedals that cop the misty cave sound
hey guys, I like my misty cave but I'm not really into the lower range of the D time, have any of you replaced your misty cave with something, or have something that gets sounds that are close to it?

I still have never watched a single demo of this.

Re: Pedals that cop the misty cave sound
The Boss DD series comes to mind, the DD-3 and DD-5 especially.

I've had a DD7 and I know that setting a short delay is kinda similiar but I don't remember being as remarkable as the MC

Re: Pedals that cop the misty cave sound
I never played a DD-7 or a Misty Cave (should have mentioned that) but going from the demo's and my own DD-5 that's about the closest I ever heard a pedal get.

Re: Pedals that cop the misty cave sound
the misty cave is an 'analog' delay so although the DD's can definitely do that comb filtering thing nicely i wouldn't compare them too much.
the closest i've come is definitely the ibanez ad-190 which sounds even nicer to my ears but that's not exactly a pedal nor easy to find. i did end up selling my MC in favor of it.
the thing with the MC is it has that weird square wave LFO that gives it that throbbing texture, nothing else cops that as well as the MC so if that part is vital to you i dunno if you're gonna find anything else.
i would look at older BBD delays (MN3005 if possible). the ibanez DE7 isn't bad at this either. also that new MF chorus seems like a contender too. having blend and tone controls helps a lot, i find simpler pedals don't do this as well.

Re: Pedals that cop the misty cave sound
Although digital again, the Headrush comes to mind. Since it has two delay time knobs, you can put the course time all the way down, then adjust the pitch of the "misty cave sound" with the fine delay time. It is not the same thing, at all, but it gets in the same ballpark for a lot less $$$. I also have a setting on the Timebender that does something like this

Ear the gristleizer can get those tuneable resonating frequencies

There are pedals that may come close, but I don't think anything else really sounds like the Misty Cave.
Maybe you can get Hirofumi to mod it for you?

Koma BD-101 a bit. Still the Misty Cave is unique.

Zoom G3 has a comb filter that you can sweep with expression
Maybe Malekko will make their combover pedal too

Re: Pedals that cop the misty cave sound
For your consideration: 8Ts Ibanez DCF-10--early digital chorus flanger that has adjustable delay range from .25msec to 128msec. It definitely gets into some of the short-hard-verb with tuneable-resonant-frequency toanz I hear in the MC. Very nice early-dig tone, too--not as "warm" as analog (whatever that really means), but by no means remarkably cold sounding--can get pretty subtle or jump out more, but not really over the top.

Re: Pedals that cop the misty cave sound
Grain of salt, I haven't played either of these pedals, but I feel like the EHX Ring Thing could get some misty cave action going? Just based on Ring Thing Demos I have seen.

Re: Pedals that cop the misty cave sound

I still haven't tried my new Misty Cave yet (my sleep schedule has been fucked to the highest) but it looks like it's in good company.
