RE: [Harp-L] Why use a delay pedal?

["Robert Gaustad" <robertgaustad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there any standard delay duration that people use?  Many of these pedals,
it seems, delay as long as a second.  I would guess that we would want a
very short delay just to thicken up the soup a bit.

Thanks for the info.
