Re: analog delays

["Christian Leduc" <chleduc@total.net>]

I don't know how many delays that Mark have?!?!? :)
Big Briar's Delay, TC D-2, Blacet time machine, I think he had also a
Deltalab's Echotron or Effectron.. so many of them!!! :)

About the Yamaha stuff, I tried one of them (I don't remember exactly the
one.. It was one of the two you mentioned).. Instead, I bought an old 
Ibanez
HD-1000 because it has a Pitch Shifter and Chorus ability (I sold my old
multi-effect processor).. I regret that move... The Yamaha was great, very
tap"ish" in sound... and the HD-1000 is giving me trouble when I go in the
high pitched notes on the guitar..

I know that it isn't the first time that I say that, but the Echotron of
Deltalab will always be one of my choice of predilection... It sounds quite
a lot like a pure analog device if you use the soft feedback option (with a
lowpass filter)... And it is quite cheap now on the market...  And it gives
you looping ability... But it's only a thought... :)

It was just one of those rare moments when Digital sounds as good as
analog...
