Ive been digging U2 lately, and I want to get a delay. any reccomdendations for delay? (the edge type sound preferred but any suggestions will be valued) thanks!

The Deleuxe Memory Man by EHX should get you places.

thanks Ill check it out! My bro has a BOSS DD-6 delay. I was thinking about getting a DD-7, any advice?

Any analog delay will get you in the ball park. There are some digital delays now that sound very analog, but have the added benefit of tap tempo and longer delay times. check out the delay section of Proguitarshop. Also, modulation in the delay is important too, so search for modulated delays. Or delays like the analogman ardx20 that have an effects loop on the delay, so you could add a modulation pedal seperately, which is awesome, as you can also put phasers, wahs, distortions and other effects in the loop!

But superfuzz is right, the Memory Man is the Edge's delay of choice! There just might be some more versatile options out there worth looking for!

I really like the Memory Man, but sadly, its too expensive ☹

anything in the same ballpark as the memory man, but less expensive?

I can't believe how much the Deluxe Memory Man costs now. I remember when I first started playing guitar about 8 years ago, TS808s were $80, and I had the Deluxe Memory Man used off ebay for like $120. Prices on pedals keep going up and up!

Check out Joyo Pedals, they have a digital delay that's only like $40, and a chorus pedal for like $40. The two together could get you sort of in the ballpark!

T-Rex Reptile is modulated delay, about $100 cheaper than the Memory Man at $240

EarthQuaker Devices Disaster Transport Modulated Delay $140

I like the looks of the Way Huge Aqua-puss delay. Does anyone have experience with it? and Badmotorfinger. Come on man! I have a diverse taste in music all the way from U2 to August Burns Red.

I have a very diverse taste. U2 is a no no for me. August Burns Red? man... really? awful haha. That band has played around my area several times, I hate that whole trendy "metal core" scene, it's so repetitive and ridiculous.

badmotorfinger

very diverse taste*

I really like August Burns Red for the guitarwork. My favorite bands are The White Stripes, Dinosaur Jr, Flyleaf, The Foo Fighters (saw them and it was the best concert!) Wolfmother, and the Dirty Heads.

badmotorfinger

but then again... to each their own.

Ooh and I like Sebadoh.. Sebadoh is awesome

Yeah, I dig Dino Jr and some Foo Fighters. Just had to throw my opinion in there, my mom used to play "The Joshua Tree" all the time, it was horrible. August Burns Red? Guitar work? weird.

cobainjagstang123

Lol I actually love The Joshua Tree... Dinosaur Jr. and the White Stripes are currently my favorite. Oh and Dick Dale is one of my favorite guitarists.
