I've been experimenting with using mono delays on the auxes to soundstage
multiple tracks in a mix. I'm really liking what's coming to pass here. The
Paris delays work very nicely for this, but if I also am adding a reverb to
the aux, I run out of DSP DPQ (thought the l\non-liner verbs do sound great
with the mono delays for this purpose. Anyway, I can set up my old sony
MU-R201 to function as a pair of independent mono delays.and I'm thinking
about getting another analog delay. I see the Lexicon 41's FS at a pretty
good price. I also see the Lexi 42's at a ridiculous price. What's the
difference in these two boxes and what other good delay boxes are out there.
I'm a newbie at this stuff.

thanky,

Deej

Get the PSP Audio delays. If you're as into dub as I am you become a serious
delay snob. I've owned Echoplexes, Space Echoes, Akai rack analogs, various
emulated analogs, no names I saw on Ebay, and a Moog pedal. The only ones
to survive are the Moog pedal (for live playing with my guitar) and the PSPs.
I own the 42 and 84 and wish, oh wish and wish and wish and wish that I could
get one into my live guitar rig without using a laptop.

Thad, what are the characteristics that make or break a delay for you?

42 is a little smoother sound with more high-end and some additional programming
flexibility. I like both units. The PSP plugs do get fairly close.

Lately I have been putting ColorTone Pro in the feedback loop of the built
in echo plug in DP (Any clean echo plug will do). Using “Spaceytape” , an
impulse from the Roland, you can get a dead-on emulation of tape-based echo.
With a "41" impulse, it gets very close to the 41.

Although they are no longer in production, I've been really happy with the
Line6 Echo pro rack unit. Should be able to find a used one on ebay. Many
different delays.

Hmmmm.....now that I think of it, couldn't a sony V55 or an Ensoniq DP4 be
set up to operate as 4 x independent delays?

Due to my rather insane routing matrix, when I'm mixing, all panning (tracks
and aux FX) are being done in Paris. This necessitates my using analog gear
for delays on auxes. The PCM 41's look pretty affordable....the 442's look
pretty ridiculously expensive. There are *lots* of Ensoniq DP4's on EBay
these days. This looks like it might be something very useful in my
particular situation.

Last night, after mixing one song, it too me about 30 minutes to catalog the
settings I was using on all of the my analog gear I had patched in to the
mix once I got it right.....but it sure did do a nice job of things.

If I could usePSP, or other native plugins on the Paris auxes, I'd do it in
a heartbeat. Do you think this might be possible using Wormhole from a
separate computer? I've got my old Cubase DAW mobo/CPU and 2G RAM sitting
around here

I know there would be a little latency, but on an ux effect, I'm
wondering.......

What do you think?

I love the PSP's, too. I also have a TC D2 in my standard mix setup on an
external aux. Also usually a Paris delay on an aux.

#1 is sonics for sure. I'll tolerate a lot of hassle for good sonics. Every
now and then I still hook up an impedence changer and run a track through
my Moog delay which is grittier than a lot of well maintained tape delays.
#2 would be the rough category of "usability" which for analog gear is mostly
about how easy it is to patch things in and so forth. That's only because
I'm lazy and will not use gear that's difficult to deal with most of the
time, above-mentioned Moog situations notwithstanding. However, a Space Echo
is so noisy and so picky that it gets frustrating after a while.

Mind you, when I pick a delay I want it to have a sound. When I hear a ducked
stereo delay with one side at sixteenths and one at quarters I scream, "Ack,
barf, *&#*@(*! it sounds like a *&#*@#( Larry Carlton record from 1986! Turn
that #*&(@*(&ing thing off now before I throw something." To me a great delay
is one that adds to the sound above and beyond just being repeats. Check
out a Scientest Wins the World Cup if you want to hear more of what I'm talking
about.

What makes the PSP 84 (the primary one I use) so amazing is that it kills
on every category. The delay itself sound "clean but analog" when vanilla,
like maybe an Akai rackmount unit that's clean and well maintained. Delay
time will sync to the host if you want and can be set to pretty odd meters
if you want, so it's not just straight eights and such. Then, it has a switchable
filter (hp, bp, lp) that can, oh the simple genius of it, be applied to the
whold signal path, the effected signal path, or the feedback loop. Then,
be still my already quickly beating heart, it has a mod matrix that can take
modulation from a mix of the (mutli-shape) LFO *and* and envelop follower?
You're kidding, right? I mean, if the Russians would have had this delay
in 1950 we'd be choking down cheap vodka and calling each other "comrade"
today, right? But I'm not even done. There's a drive knob to make things
dirtier if you want and a usable if unspectacular reverb. Finally, and this
should have appeard earlier, it *acts* like an analog delay. Turn up the
feedback really high and it builds up noise in the feedback loop. Set a high
pass filter with LFO mod in it and the filter resonance builds up in the
loop as well. change the filter to LP in real time and you have what amounts
to a synth sound created by a mod matrix, noise generator, and a filter.
All of this and it can also be a very nice simple great sounding host synced
delay? Damned impressive if you ask me.

That answer the question? The Moog is amazing in a guitar rig as well.

I did it all the time in my previous setup, but I used ADAT optical as my
interface. It adds very little additional latency or CPU strain, unlike WormHole.

You can try WormHole for free.

PS Can you take a sysex dump of some of your hardware effects? This saves
a lot of documentation time for me – Or using program changes in my sequencer.
(I know this wont help with the non-MIDI stuff, but documentation is so ‘Old
School”:-)

I've had both the pedal version and the rack mount. I wound up switching to
the Moog for live and the native for recording.

Another hardware unit to look at, Deej, though everyone will look at you
funny and people around here might sniff, is the Electrix MoFX. Easy to work
with as tap tempo delays and two in mono might be cool because you'd never
tap them quite exactly the same tempo.

Thad, I don't quite understand what you mean here:

"Then, be still my already quickly beating heart, it has a mod matrix that
can take modulation from a mix of the (mutli-shape) LFO *and* and envelop
follower?"

Could you explain more? Mind, you, I am a very vanilla guy when it comes
to delays. That why I was asking. I generally use any old host-app delay
for clean stuff, and my rack mount DOD R-880 analog for dirtier, darker,
vibier stuff. I too used to own a vintage tube echoplex, but couldn't justify
the clunkiness and hassle for what I was getting.

I have two very different delays in my guitar rack. One is an old Ibanez
AD202. This 70's device uses bucket brigade technology and works as both
a delay and (unintentionally) a low pass filter. Great for Keith Richards
typs stuff.

The other is a Symmetrix 606, which is a very flexible, clean and transparent
piece. Love it.

I have three units that I've been playing with lately for delays. I have a
Line-6 Echo Pro in the rack that I use all the time, especially for the
analog synth. I use an expression pedal plugged into it so that I can
manipulate the echos in real time. I have a Kurzweil KSP-8 that is a great
all-around effects unit - with the ADAT module, I can use that for eight
channels. The delays are pretty clean, but you can add a lot of other
effects to the signal chains with this unit to change things around. And I
also have an Eventide 4000 that is just plain sick! Wish I could afford an
Orville or an H8000A to get the surround looping/delays...

Nothing better than a Lex Prime Time for fattening vocals... A studio
I worked at years ago had a few... awesome, but noisy. Wish I had
some here!

I know some guys who really like the old Roland SDE-1000/3000 delays.
They're pretty popular though and might be hard to find. ? If it's just
simple delay stuff, I would think almost any old Alesis, DigiTech, Yamaha,
etc. multi-effects unit would work. I haven't used a hardware delay for
years. I used to have an MXR analog pedal delay that I loved on guitar
(circa 1981). Sold it in the mid 90's when people were paying stupid prices
for "vintage" guitar pedals. I think I tripled my investment on that and
some original Electro Harmonix stuff.

I just remembered that I have 3 x Alesis Wedge units sitting here that I use
in the FX loops of my HRM 16 headphone remote mixer boxes. These things have
absolutely beautiful reverbs, chorus and delays. I may just check these out
as well...........errrr...........since the4y're free........so to speak.

This is a 'very' cool unit. The noise specs kinda killed me though it's
possible there was something wrong with the unit I played around a bit on.

The Time works 2290 is my favorite, followed by Waves Super Tap,Paris's Long
Delay and Tap Delay are very cool as well..

Hey Chris,

The modulation source in the 84 can be either the mulit-shape LFO (like),
the envolope follower, or both. Envelope followers take the strength of the
incoming signal and use it as a mod source. So, for example, delay feedback
could be less for louder signals or filter resonance could be greater on
louder singals. It's a pretty intuitive mod source once you've used it a
bit.

I see PSP have a new plugin called PSP 608 MultiDelay. Have someone tested
it?

Cool delay to be sure, but not much like the PSP84. More of a clean and complex
multi-tap. Very nice though.

For me, it seems to be the ultimate delay-plugin after testing the demo a
bit.
Haven't tested the PSP84 yet, so I must have some testing with it too before
buying. I see, it's the same price on both.
