[Harp-L] Which Delay Pedal To Buy?

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

FWIW, I tried a BBE Two TImer and I thought it sounded too BRIGHT.

I use an MXR Carbon Copy Delay which is dark and compresses the highs  
a little, which I like.  Supposed to be true bypass, but it's not.   
However, i leave it on all the time, so it doesn't make any difference.

The most transparent delay I've tried is the Wampler Analog Echo.   
It's not actually analog and it's not an echo--it's an analog  
sounding  digital delay that is harmonica friendly and it IS true  
bypass.  Wampler is a boutique maker of guitar pedals and sells over  
the web.  Five year warranty.  The guitar player in my band turned me  
on to Wampler. Nice unit.  i prefer the darker tone of the Carbon  
Copy, though.

Personally, I'm a little leery of the harmonica specific pedals.   
They claim to have buffered inputs designed to work well with bullet  
mics.  I don't use a bullet mic.  So, I  figure I'm better off not  
messing around with gear that's not designed to be used with the type  
of mic i play through.
