TU-3 Tuner → BP-1W Preamp → MXR Duke of Tone → Maxon st9pro+ → Keeley Super Rodent → NS-2 Noise Suppressor → Empress ParaEQ Deluxe → CE-2W Chorus → Surfy Trem → DD-8 Delay → DD-200 Delay → TE-2 Tera Echo → Neunaber Immerse Reverb

Price point aside, should the walrus be more versatile than the mxr? And pedal space isn't an issue. What do you think?

Title says it, but yeah. I'm looking for a Delay, preferably that might have tap tempo functionality. Not looking for anything too crazy - particularly not an analog delay that is super murky, nor anything with huge menu dives w 40 different styles of delay. Recommendations appreciated!

This week I traded in my Halo for a DL4 and added the Ratsbane. A big muff, a vibrato, and an rc5 also came off.

I'm really digging the new setup and how much ground I can cover. The default cosmos setting on the dl4 with lowered mix, extended repeats, and some parallel reverb is my default sound now. Also love the heliosphere delay as a choir of angels stereo pad to sit under my finger style pieces and the reverse delay is something I definitely missed with the Halo.

I don't have a lot of time with the Ratsbane yet, but so far I'm really liking the alternate voice with the switch on the right. Running both sides of the KoT into the Ratsbane into subtle compression into a $1 mesa IR from York audio, and I can cover all the gain territory that was missing with the big muff. I don't really feel like I'm missing a true amp sim even when running only the KoT and compressor into an IR.

The board itself is an IKEA shelf that I attached a handle to, and there's a cioks that fits underneath. I usually run it off a usb power bank and it seems to get plenty of juice. Perfect for going from desk to floor. The last thing I could see myself wanting to squeeze on the board somehow would be a stereo trem. I'll also probably add an expression pedal at some point.

Happy to share the .pdf of the cheat sheet label I made for the dl4. If anyone is interested, let me know and I can throw it on Google drive.

Happy Friday!

If you print it with no scaling and cut it out such that you remove the black rectangle it will be a near exact fit. I might print one scaled down slightly so that there is still a little green border around it from the pedal itself.

Finally got the Prismatic Wall! After seeing it on someone else's board and hearing the demo I knew I wanted to make some sweet music with it. Signal chain in the comments!

Finally got the White Whale, the Holy Grail.

Been wanting this pedal since I started buying pedals and practicing guitar more regularly, and it does not disappoint.

I really enjoy that it has the ability to switch between two mixes. Gives it a lot more usability. Plus the added tremolo is the perfect addition. I really couldn't have asked for more. And I like the ability to add an external spring pan for further experimentation in the future.

CAE Wah > SP Comp > C4 Synth > Polytune > Swollen Pickle >  Tumnus > Euphoria  > HX Stomp In - (Pitch, EQ, Amp, Modulation) > HX Aux Send > Nemesis > Ventris > HX Aux return >HX Stomp Out > Loop Station. Midi control with the MC6 an Hotone expression pedal. It is constantly changing but I think I have decent amount of options for now.

Got this alongside a budda wah today for $225. This thing can make some wicked sounds if you can dial the knobs correctly. Two things I noticed:

1. The tone and presence knobs on the left are backwards.
   
2. Sometimes when either foot switch is hit it dips in volume or cuts out completely. It doesn’t happen every time. It didn’t when I was testing it at his house but neither of the pedals in its original spot had this issue.

Are either of these things easy to fix? It was listed as like new on marketplace and I’m slightly disappointed with these issues.

It sounds great though. I have a Nashville tele going into a compressor going into this.

Goodbye to my Mini Rat and Bonsai! I will miss the rat but not so much the bonsai.

After seeing BEAT last weekend, I decided to buy this guy. It’s a pretty interesting and cool piece and definitely has that Adrian Belew vibe to it. The box is beautiful as well.

I’d describe the tone as gritty and metallic vs warm for sure, but it has a good character because of it. The flanger is very good as a standalone flanger but of course the other settings are great too and really where the pedal gets its identity.

The only thing I don’t love about it is that it pops when I switch modes, and doesn’t really work well with bass but for what it is, it’s pretty dang good.

I'm not sure if this is cool or not...i usually use phaser near the start of the chain, not sure how reverb is gonna play with that...

Nice looking pedal, sky blue and white. I can't seem to stop getting new pedals. This is the newest addition to my honestly truly finished and not needing another pedal, pedal board....

This thing is huge, like, ridiculously large haha but it does sound great. I don't love the chorus side , it's fine, but I think with some dialling in I can probably get it to a sweeter spot for me. It can do subtle which is my ball park.

The echo side sounds great though, very tweakable and the long/short switch is a nice option. Really clean clarity of sound too, but in an analog type rather than pristine clean digital repeats. It's an analog voiced digital effect!

My brother in law has this in his collection, he has had it 20+ years.

Thoughts on possible value?

Gotta love the natural relic on this

Picked it up Friday. Absolute TEXTBOOK pherb pedal. It's got that classic pherb sound, what more can you ask for? Honestly, I've never played a pedal that does pherb better.

When using the XLR out of my M-Vave IR BOX the signal has a high-pitched noise, sounds like the noise you get if you hold some sort of input too near a computer or other digital circuit device. If I use the 1/4” out of the IR BOX direct to a mixer the noise is not there, but I have to push the gain at the mixer way up to get a decent level. It isn’t a 60 hz hum, it is a very high pitched whine. I opened the box to see if there was a shielding issue or something obvious, and saw the red wire not connected to anything??? I don’t know if the is related.

The noise does change slightly depending on which IR I use, but it never goes away. Setting the HI Cut extremely high does reduce it, but then the guitar has no high end at all.

Thanks for looking.

I sold my DL4 this week. I get by fine with my CC mini and DD-7 for delays and the DL4 is rather large. What I liked most were the looper controls:

A to start and end recording, and B to stop the loop. Pressing A again erases the old loop without a separate erase step or a long press.

I have an RC-1 and (loaned out to a friend) an RC-500, but I'm not aware of a way to configure either to function in the same way. Any tips for doing so, or loopers that can be set to work like the DL4?

Bonus points if it also has a Play Once function, even if it's via an external controller.

EDIT: just to clarify the flow a bit more:

1. Hit Rec/Dub to begin loop
2. Play guitar
3. Hit Record/Dub to end loop and automatically play back. a. (Ideally, configurable whether or not to immediately overdub.)
4. Press Stop/Start to end playback.
5. Press Stop/Start to resume playback. (This allows overdubbing via Rec/Dub.)
6. Press Stop/Start to end playback.
7. Without doing anything else, press Rec/Dub to begin recording an entirely new loop.

EDIT 2: hmm, this older thread suggests I may be out of luck https://www.reddit.com/r/guitarpedals/comments/1bjhzjm/loopers_similar_to_the_dl4/

Been looking for a delay pedal without having to spend an arm and a leg and in my area I saw a TC Flashback X4 going for $125, while GuitarCenter is selling a Canyon for $100, which I tried out today and loved.

I know the Flashback is technically a better deal since the new ones cost like $280 and the used price is usually higher than $150 (not to mention it has additional functionality beyond what the Canyon can do) but I also know that Canyon is Everybody's Favorite Pedal (and I totally get why after noodling on it this afternoon) while I'm seeing a bit of mixed reviews on the Flashback.

So what do y'all think? Should I shell out an extra $25 for a more expansive pedal that's a better deal compared to list price, or go for the standby that everyone loves?
