Delay

[deadcat]

Any suggestions for a decent delay unit that won't clip? Looking for a slap back unit. Not looking for a deep unit or multi fx.
I had a dano reel eco, that wasn't too bad but clipped and so ultimately sold it on.
I'd of course love an echoplex or a real tape unit but can't justify spending that much, or taking up that much space.

clipped where, pre or post preamp?

It' clipped post preamp for sure. It was a while ago but I believe I could clip it in the front also, I'm using the 18V livewires that run 25dbs or so of boost.
I don't intend to run delay before my preamp.

Boss DD-20 or Digitech Hardwire DL-8 should both work in your loop without clipping.

TC nova repeater, Tech 21 boost D.L.A. or Digitech Hardwire DL8 :wink:

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd considered the digitech, and it definitely fits in the try before you buy category as I'm sure it's a guitar center special.

I always hated Digititech, but the Hardwire series is impressive (Thanks Lexicon)

Same here. Very impressed by the whole Hardwire series. BTW the delay features tap tempo and looper
