I love how all you pedal builders help each other out instead of being just being competitors.
They love what they do. Circuit benders.
It isn't ALL, it's actually quite a small subsection of builders who take a less capitalistic, more collaborative and cooperative approach. These particular builders are far more likely to be musicians themselves, and the profit they make really kinda just functions as a means by which they can justify spending their time on it, because we all have to sell something to survive in this world. I find the same general phenomenon among professional musicians. Not rockstars, but people who just make a living at their craft. They appreciate that making such a living allows them to actually do what they want to do, and would do for free if they did not live in a society that requires everyone to sell something in order to survive.
local music communities have interacted this way for the last 15-20 years as well. Because it works better and, well because the Record Companies abandoned everyone ~ where previously those companies were guilty of amping up the competition, the snobbery and douchebaggery. Local musicians depend on each other for support, for audiences, for venues, for gigs. From the ground up. From the roots up.
My old boss was just like these guys helping each other out like they do. His name is Tom Anderson. One of the nicest guys in the world. He doesn’t care about making a lot of money. He honestly just wants to make the best sounding, playing electric guitars he possibly can. He could of easily been as big as PRS, but chose not to. Sounds crazy but it’s true. Back in the old days small guitar manufacturers used to help each other out. People like Bob Taylor, John Suhr, Roger Sadowski, Larrivee, Carvin, Tyler, Dave Schecter etc... Too many to list. I can’t remember them all. Tom knows everyone. Sorry I didn’t mean to take this thread hostage. I’m just very proud to have worked for such a great guy and was very fortunate to have been able to make incredible instruments.
@@ralphballinger2159 I work for a company like that. I could easily make more money somewhere else but I'd be losing way more than I'd be gaining.
In 1991 (14 yo) I enthusiastically asked my guitar teacher how the guitar for Where the Streets Have No Name was done. He walked me out to the showroom at the music store, grabbed a delay pedal, and showed me right there. It was like a magician revealing his trick.... Still one of my fondest, most precious guitar moments ever, even some 25+ years later. Never stop learning!
TheDarthpaully Right! You know I miss those rare moments in the beginning stages. I had the same experience when I first learned how guitarists I loved were getting those Distortion sounds. Of course then I didn’t know that’s what it was called back when I was 16. The first time I discovered my Dad’s old fender amp had a second channel with distortion that was like the biggest moment of discovery. Didn’t matter what it sounded like. To me at that moment I was Hendrix and/or Kurt Cobain all rolled into one. Lol. At least I thought I was playing something that was awesome at the time. Just those first moments of discovering what reverb, and delay was, and how to get that sound I’d heard on so many records as a kid. Now as a guitar player of 18 years it’s just not quite the same. Those moments of discovering something that immensely cool are few and far between anymore. I’ll never forget the moments spent in my bedroom experimenting with those sounds for the first time.
I could tell you how it was named, "Where the Streets Have No Name." We don't get along but I was eight years old when I ran away from home to my school at night because they were having a fashion show in my school. I did had Edge's guitar and we made the song and he copied the riffs from me. Part of the reason the way it sounds is because it was my idea to put these two pedals together and my hands were too small for the guitar that I could do so much. They were asking questions on what street I was walking through and I was like I don't know and Bono was getting pissed off. That is how the song got its name and the riffs was made by an eight year old boy. The real reason we don't get along is because they were acting like criminals and they were arrested on gun charges. They were really a bunch of jerks.
What in the world are you talking about? Is that a joke? Or supposed to be a true story? Either way the grammar is atrocious
@@kevinr.3542 what are you talking about?
Oh i see now
Fun Fact- Delay is actually just a small cave inside of your pedal board
Probably using timelord tech bigger on the inside
and reverb is a big cave inside of your pedalboard
It's actually more like a sack of holding but with a cave. The opening to that magic sack is housed inside the pedal.
Echo delay is
Echo delay is
Am I the only one who has a heart attack everytime Josh throws a pedal?!
Pink Floyd - One of these days.
The bass is all delay!
Ronald Smith No doubt delay in there, but that bass line was mostly David doubling the bass on Roger’s bass.
Binson Echorec!
One of these delays.
That’s odd, because I heard it was a special delay that was supposed to turn notes into triplets, only he was playing a pattern rather than straight quarters into it.
@@Beizeiten78 it was seamus. that's the dog.
Make a pedal called Little Cup of Sunshine ☕️ 🌞
Echoes - David Gilmour from Pink Floyd Live at Pompei
AGREED!
Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused. The combination of wah, echo, and bowing was just super freakin amazing. Love your energy, attitude, and commitment to your craft!
Supposedly Robert Fripp used to get his delay sound by running two tape machines at once, but that guy is another level of crazy.
Durutti Column "sketch for dawn" - the music was built on delay (actually the whole album and sound and vibe of the band was)
Pink Floyd's Time, love the fuzz with the echorec. Great video!
Agreed come listen to my beats
The DL4 literally changed my life. It allowed me to become a solo act 15 years ago and I'm still going as strong as ever.
As a teenager I lived near a walled garden which would repeat a single handclap 8 times with a 24 second fading delay . It is a little known fact that all English Thoroughbred racehorses can trace their ancestry back to 3 Stud's The Godolphin arab / The Darley arab / & the Byerley Turk .. I lived near the purpose built walled Garden enclosure for one of these . It was a High walled ( maybe 16 feet ) Flatstone walled enclosure . Basically rectangular but with pillared viewing porticos built in to each wall so that visitors could sit in shelter . Perhaps these & the perfect dimensions produced the effect . I now live near a long river valley where of a Morning I can bounce my voice off the sides & back from the end 3 times b4 it dies out .. & the neighbours think I'm strange .. Lol .. love the channel .. I seek the perfect wah & volume control pedals . I have the Boss Me - 80 .. Dunlop Vol .. Hellfire Wah & electro harmonix wailer wah .. But I want to sound like Robert Randolph or Daniel Lanois .. Ernie Ball I think .. so it would be great if you made the perfect wah & volume pedals ?
As a fan of Andy Summer‘s guitar playing style it‘s difficult to decide which of the Police songs is my favourite in terms if using delay. I choose „Walking on the moon“ by The Police.
If there will. be a survey about famous songs with prominent use of flangers I will choose the same song 😜
All of David Gilmour's stuff with the Echorec. Catalinbreads pedal version is amazing.
I met the owner of catalinbread...lol
U2 - BAD is probably my favourite song to play with delay (a BOSS DD2 was my first delay back in the 80s)... Going back in time, Big Country - The Crossing (song not album) had a great echo pattern at the beginning of the song. Whenever adventurous, try out Argentinian group: Soda Stereo - Signos (specially the live version in "Ruido Blanco") or Cuidad de la Furia from their album "Confort y musica para volar". Peace!
No doubt! 100%!
Another Brick In the Wall Part 1 or Run Like Hell come to mind immediately, but anything Gilmour does with delay is gold imo.
Pink Floyd - One of these Days. Bass with echo played by Gilmore
Paul Gilbert - The Echo Song
Buckethead - Big Sur Moon
Pink Floyd, “Run Like Hell”
Favorite delay song: Holiday in Cambodia by Dead Kennedys. East Bay Ray made excellent use of his Maestro back in the day on record and stage in the 80's. But he currently gigs with a Line 6 DL4 in his chain now. Ciao.
Holiday in Cambodia - Dead Kennedys
First time I heard that lush delay sound in punk rock
Master of the Echo-Plex!
East Bay Ray was the first guitar player I heard who could get this massive tone without really using any fuzz. DK made me re-think everything I thought I knew about guitar tone.
Thanks for making a note of that. His tone is, to my mind, the most intense and exciting I have ever heard. I never pondered deeply what goes into it, though. I just let it remain a mystery.
Christopher Fonda - if you haven't heard them, you should check out Man or Astroman. They're a surf band who make heavy use of slapback to similar affect. I'm fascinated by how time-based effects lend themselves so well to aggressive playing. I wish more punk and metal bands made use of things like this rather than just heavy distortion.
I am familiar with Man or Astroman, but only just. I will dig in right away. YES! to that last sentence!
Some of my favorite delay sounds are all of Nick McCabe's tones on Verve's "Storm in Heaven" album, specially the opening track Star Sail. Also love all of the delays on just about anything by Spiritualized, but specially on "Sway". Best example of an oil can delay I can think of is the piano sound from DEVO's "Gut Feeling", they used a Acoustic Reverbrato. So good.
Couldn't agree more regarding Storm In Heaven. Such an underrated masterpiece!
the first Verve and No Come Down are perfect.
A man called sun is also a masterpiece :-)
"Carolyn's Fingers" - Cocteau Twins, or "One More Time" - The Cure
The Edge was massively influenced by Keith Levine's playing on the first few PiL abums. He just added a lot more reverb
Band slowdive album souvlaki
Year 1992
And ENO was his name O! I think ENO had a lot to do with changing U2's sound. . . and he also produced some of the Souvlaki tracks!
Favorite delay song: The Police Walking On The Moon, Andy Summers.
As for tape delay simulation, I love my Akai headrush 2.
That's a LOT of Sovtek stuff
Luuk Meijwaard ya let's start a campaign
I gotta hear em
it's like you have a Soviet nuclear missile silo there, unleash the watts!
I wondered if somebody was gonna comment on those. Sweet Amps.
In regard to a guitar/delay record, "Pride(In The Name of Love)" really blew my mind. I felt just how the proper milliseconds and level of effect could virtually drive the song; as if it were a form of drum kit or percussion but carrying the underlying guitar chords or "rhythm guitar" at the same time.
Maybe you forgot to mention Les Paul and Mary Ford..!
Yeah this is Les Paul's invention, he even had the patent afaik.
He forgot the Cooper Time Cube as well... the first commercial delay. I have one, and the plugins. The plugins are much more useful. Only two time settings on the original.
Yes listen to Les Paul and some early interviews with him
This JHS guy is just a privileged White geek who builds pedals but has no working street knowledge of guitar playing or Blues/Rock/Metal/Pop music history.
My late best friend Greg Corona was Les Paul's and Mary's Ford's nephew. He inherited his aunt Mary's white SG after she passed away. I've played that SG in the late 80s/early 90s as I was Greg's guitar tech for a few years while he was still gigging. After Greg passed away from cancer the SG was sold to that Pawn Stars TV show guy... it's on RUclips somewhere.
Brian May's Brighton Rock solo on Live Killers. Brian masterfully times his notes to achieve harmonies with himself. I believe he used 2 Echoplex units originally.
Yeah!! U-2! I still recall the first time I heard U2.
It was 1980. I was 17. I was driving around the island of Oahu with some buddies, drunk and stoned out if my mind. As we were made our way over the Pali Highway near midnight, slipping through the fog that had enveloped the higher altitudes of the Koolau range, I heard what I thought was the sound of heaven come ringing out of the car's FM speakers: U2's "I Will Follow".
Edge's opening, chiming riff sounded like a band of angels plucking heavenly strings from beyond the foggy opaqueness of the night. It was transcendent.
Yep, delay. The greatest guitar effect ever. Mahalos!
Jon Komatsu Edge is to Delay what Jesus is to Christianity. Essential.
And I'm not even a Christian :p
Matt Gilbert Hah! Good one!
on a related note....how in the hell does the Edge make that wicked sound in the intro to Mysterious Ways on Achtung Baby! It sounds like time/space is swallowing itself and regurgitating into sonic beauty...er something....
Chad Bartel he uses something called a Korg A3 I believe. I've replicated the sound using an envelope filter, flanger and phaser. He's also playing it with a 12 string. It's fucking awesome.
Pleasant memory.
Always an education watching your vlogs. Thank you for making them. My understanding of pedals and their history is richer because of them. Keep em coming. I am a new guitar player and am beginning my journey into effects and at first it was massively overwhelming and was totally lost. These videos have given me context and a much better understanding of the tones I am looking for and what helps produce them.
Slowdive - slouvlaki space station 🔥
Ha.. Slowdive - anything :)
@@CurrieNerd Slowdive it all
hell. yes.
Thanks for sharing so much insight with the historical context! My favorite Edge tune showcasing delay has to be Bad live. It really hit home seeing that live again at Arrowhead last year. It really highlights the essence of the Edge and his ability to take a few simple notes and capitivate an audience for 7+ minutes. His amazing precision rhythm making use of this critical tool is what gives U2 its unique sound.
That moment when David Byrne tweaks the speed of his delay in the movie 🎥 Stop Making Sense, that was a game changer for me. Had a lotta fun borrowing a rack mount digitech back in the late 80s. Did not have my own delay pedal till about 2007.
Already mentioned in the video, but my favorite "delay song" is U2's "Bad". Another couple that spontaneously popped into my mind was A Flock of Seagulls's "Space Age Love Song" and Kebu's "To Jupiter and Back".
I just found your vlogs like 30 minutes ago and I was like “damn, I really like the style of these, I wish there was more.” And then boom you post a new video right away.
New episodes every Thursday.
Rush - 2112 was the first time I really noticed how cool delay can be
"WE'RE PUTTING IT ON THE WHOLE BAND FOR THIS ONE!" - Terry Brown
“Home to CHANGEangeange!”
how can you talk about delay and leave out les paul? man, les paul and mary ford were killing it. check it out.
mike blue ya les paul how high the moon....classic example but more importantly he really made it work for us all
@Oscar Meyer as well as half a dozen other guitar related advancements not to even mention multi tracking...sound on sound
Delay is one of the unsung heroes of recording / mixing. Thanks for the history of this effect.
Scotty Moore on his Ray Butts EchoSonic!! As heard on Mystery Train, Jailhouse Rock, Hound Dog, Money Honey, Heartbreak Hotel, Any Way You Want Me...
Definitely legendary early delay tones!
Bauhaus "Bela Lugosi's Dead"
Good call. Love that one.
White on white, translucent black capes... back on the rack!
Daniel Ash used a Watkins Copicat, but this Multi Echo - Multivox is very cool sounding, and certainly gets early Bauhaus vibe
YESSSSSSSSSSS
“Kid Gloves” by Rush is my favorite delay song
Mine too.
This video would almost be made for me, in 84 I went to sleep with the unforgettable fire on constant repeat through a Sony D15 pocket player and a pair of ancient Toshiba paper speakers, and amp i had repaired at age 13. That album and that sound defined my musical loves for decades. I still to this day test out every single PA build with MLK CRANKED. You have one amazing wall of tape delays man. Astounding video!
Opening lick from “Guitars, Cadillacs” from Dwight Yoakam. Pete Anderson’s slapback effect just made his guitars sound huge. Fun fact. He always added delay after he recorded his parts.
good one.
Thank you for introducing that guy - Jim! Please say hi to Jim from one Russian guy.
"That cat's something I can't explain" - Syd
For the moment I’m back in 1993, So I’d have to say: Smashing Pumpkins “Soma” off of Siamese Dream.
The entire song, all 40 or so guitar overdubs are swathed in delay....but the 38 seconds that makes me listen over and over is the solo made with his ‘57 strat (I know they aren’t strat pickups, not jangly enough)...
Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead is one of many favorites. If you have a DL-4 you can get very close to all of the delay sounds they use on this track - the Space Echo is really fun!
Brighton Rock solo on Queen Live at Wembley 1986. That shit blew my mind when I was a kid and was the reason I picked up a guitar in the first place.
So it wasn't necessarily a specific song, but t specific performance. My favorite band is Built to Spill and when I was in college I was really getting into electric guitar and effects for the first time. And I saw a performance from 2007 where they play their song "Car". Their drummer had recently passed away and they decided to do a stripped down version of the song without drums in honor of him. And I watched and played that chord progression and solo hundreds of times trying to perfect it and could never quite get the solo tone right. Then I finally noticed at the beginning Doug rakes the strings and it delays and he shuts it off. I instantly went out and bought a delay pedal and spent at least an hour matching the delay time. Then i played it again and it sounded perfect! I don't know if that's exactly what you wanted but , when I think of delay I think of me learning that song. Here's a link if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/Nc6rEO6B5s8/видео.html
"I'm in love with a German Film Star."- "The Passions": Clive Timperley's guitar through, a Carlsbro Mantis BBD unit, with the echo tempo and swirling modulation from the "Rotofaze" section made the song. Vinnie Reilly, guitarist from "The Durutti Column" used delay with great innovation and was very influential, any of their tracks is worthy of consideration. Robert Fripp, a master, "Frippertronics" best moment, imho, "Heroes"- David Bowie. Brian May uses delay wonderfully, the "Queen" tracks: "Brighton Rock", "White Queen", "Tenement Funster", made me need a delay unit.
My choice of delay song is “don’t forget me” from album “by the way” by red hot chili peppers.
Firstly, these vlogs are some of the highest quality of content on the internet. So much personality and care.
Secondly, please, point me in the direction of where I can hear more from the music at 02:38. It stopped me in my tracks. I never comment on videos.
Thank you!
It's only available when you watch the vlog, sorry!
JHS Pedals ahhh alright. Well please send my warmest regards to whoever made it.
You’re always playing such cool offset guitars. I really love offsets. Like Jags and Jazzmasters.
This channel and Paul David's channel are just brimming with well thought out and well produced content. Keep up the great work! I really enjoy it!
Death Cab for Cutie has been stacking delays and mods in ways strymon is pre-setting today. Chris Walla doesn’t get enough credit for songs like Bixby Canyon Bridge or Cath.
Eduardo Miranda one of the best bands ever, but unless I've missed something, Plans was their last good album, with Transatlanticism being their absolute best, and their older ones being pretty great too. Saw them live outdoors in Phoenix in like 2005-2006, AND won a radio contest to see them up close with only maybe 20 people in the radio studio (92.9 the mountain in Tucson where I lived) while they played live for the station, and got a signed poster... which i promptly traded for H to my dealer who was also a fan =\ traded my girlfriend's too. Yeah I wasn't in a very good place then.
Narrow Stairs if great album front to back. I’d check it out again if you’re a fan. Glad you’re not in that stage of life now! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Eduardo Miranda What about coldplay? they have been stacking delays way before strymon too!? IMHO i think that tone/sound it is really complex to get!. What do you think about it? cheers!
There's really a band called death cab for cutie ? Wow - how the hell'd they get away with that ? That's like calling your band 'dark side of the moon' or 'time and a word' or some such. Don't get me wrong - it's a great name, but it's kinda taken ;)
Yep and they're pretty big lol
Ever play a guitar in a racket ball court? You can go out for a bite and come back and you'll still be hearin' that one!
This is QUALITY content. Keep going.
I'm a major delay junkie and love the effect on my solos. It's all because I heard Bill Nelson's beautiful delayed guitar work on the classic Be Bop Deluxe live album "Live! In The Air-Age" back in 1977 (especially the epic instrumental track "Shine") and have been heavily addicted to delay ever since. My first acquisition was an Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man in 1978, which I loved and used for a few years until I switched to a Roland RE-201 Space Echo. After awhile I went with a Boss DD-2 digital delay pedal when they appeared on the scene and eventually ended up with a rackmount digital delay unit which I still use today. I can give up chorus, flanger, phase shifter and even reverb...but never delay!
Haha, grew up the same way. With an older family member listening "Joshua Tree" all the time. So I knew the lyrics by heart when I was 6 years old and my only language was German. It took a couple of more years until I had English in school and could actually understand the words. Anyway, I think it was the dense sonic atmosphere that made that album get stuck in my brain. And big part of that are the delays. When I was nine, "Roger Water's The Wall in Berlin" was on TV and there was it again: Guitars with delay. No wonder, that as a guitar player, this is my favorite effect. :)
10,000 Maniacs, "Beyond the Blue" from The Earth Pressed Flat, guitar: Rob Buck -- I was stage managing / guitar tech for them at this point. Rob's main delay came from a pair of Chandler rack mount delays, patched in series, the second one was patched from the stereo output into a pair of Fender tweed reissue amps. (which were miced with Sennheiser e609's) He also used a bunch of pedals, including Memory Man, a DD-?, and a Digi space station set for reverse delay, for more delay, when necessary. The whole album is full of his textured sound. It was the last album he recorded.
Your wife probably hate this Danelectro
Hahahaha
After seeing him tell the story sadly in a couple videos in a row, I had the same conclusion, then I saw these comments.
Another excellent show! Thanks! Every once in awhile, I feel a little obsessive and extravagant when I look at the 9 different delay pedals I have; and then along comes someone hundreds of delay pedals, including a box full of the same delay pedal (they are good for you and part of a balanced breakfast). Thanks, Josh!
1984? delay? I ran - a flock of seagulls :>
Good one!
Great one! But that was 1982, already; there were a whole lot of New Wave bands using finnicky electronics before U2...
David Gilmour turned me onto delay. I got my first delay, a Boss DD5, which I regrettably sold during hard times for a mere 60 bucks, and quickly learned I could do so much more than just making leads sound big. Dotted 8th note delay instantly gripped me when I found it.
I learned to loop with a delay. And eventually learned to stack delays.
Now I own a few and have a Copicat tape delay. Some people really underestimate how powerful of an effect it is.
U2 Bullet The Blue Sky, Particularly the Zoo TV live show, it's sheer perfection
Hell yeah!
Your videos have really helped me out inform myself about pedals and thanks to your channel and some other Chanel’s I almost have a compete pedal board!! Thanks
Ahh I’ve always loved delay from the moment I heard pink floyd school the wall part one I was like I need one of those pedals I have a flashback and it hasn’t failed me yet
Favorite Delay Song - Rosanna by Toto!! Has that long cathedral style delay on the middle and outro guitar solos.
Delay song: "Cathedral" by Van Halen. One more... "Brighton Rock" by Queen
Loving your Vlogs and of course the JHS pedals. Kansas City guitarist and musician here by the way. Keep up the greatness!
Durutti Column Missing Boy, Echoplex
'81, coworker plays me a cassette of a young garage band. "The guy's got a delay" .
i'd never seen one.
They plow thru Gamma's "Razor King". nailed it.
I join the band playing this at bar and party gigs.
man, '84 and i';d already quit but co guit says "Montrose is playing. I'll buy tix if you drive". Hell yeah.
'Met' Ronnie in the parking lot of The Keystone Palo Alto after the show. They killed on everything that night.
Me and my bandmate sat with the sister of my Wife's best friend. She saw Ronnie first. Pretty special;
"05 and 'we're getting the band together'.
Yeah we could still play but begging to do Razor King again got nowhere.
Guit said "Getting the timing right is a headache'. Maybe the singer didn't want to sing it.
On cassette here.
Bloc party - like eating glass
Made me buy my first delay, a boss dd-6
Slayer - Disorder, the late Jeff Hanneman played solos where the repeats modulate in pitch like a Whammy, I eventually managed to do a version of this with the Digitech DHP-33 & an expression pedal. I think he used an Eventide H3000.
When Jim was giving his Jim-ism, for a second I thought he looked so much like Jim Lahey
Van Halen cathedral. First U2 song I heard was New Years day. Still one of my fav U2 songs till this day.
Emmylou Harris, the entire Wrecking Ball album (and, of course, Daniel Lanois is all over this one).
Yeah, absolutely!!! Love that album
When I saw rig run downs of Steve Vai & Joe Satriani to discover they use 2 delay pedals at the same time. 1 short and 1 longer delay.
Thank you for showing around your museum of gear. It's fantastic. I appreciate how generous you are with your time making these videos, and helping to educate us all.
That FedEx guy, could be Flea's brother! :)
roeletti You all must be blind. Looks nothing like Flea.
And just as wise. A random quote from Mr. Balzary: "God is always there, but you got to do the foot work." I bet Josh and everybody who is creating anything can agree with that.
Actually he could be Mr Lahey from trailer park boys doppelganger.
RIP John Dunsworth ( Mr Lahey)
@JHS pedals, the origin of delay comes from Jamaica where block parties would envelope long streets with linked up sound systems, the sound from the original source would always arrive later obviously at the end of the system. When they realized that it someone decided to capture that effect in hardware, hence the affluent influence of delay in dub and reggea music, later making its way early on onto the pedalboards or effect racks of many British bands and soon elsewhere in the world.
Favorite song with delay: "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin. Really listen close to the drum intro and you will hear a dotted eighth note (like) delay. The story behind it is that John Bonham's drums were placed at the bottom of a stairwell in a mansion and close mic'd and another mic was set on a different floor. Remember, this was done in 1970...
The truth about the Levee drums - ruclips.net/video/XZYDDX1DHDU/видео.html
Untrue. As stated above!
They used an echorek for that sound... The amazing ambient tone comes from the room --- not the echo. I should say that it's a powerful combination of room mics and a slab-back echo effect that makes it special. The only way to create that length of time based effect using only mics would be to place the mics at least 60 - 70 or more feet away. I think the entry hall, foyer, room was only 3 floors high. Since sound travels at 1130 feet per second it takes about 9/10 of a millisecond for sound to travel a one foot distance. Recording engineers typically round this off to the timing formula of 1 ms = 1 foot.
i could geek out on this stuff all day
2 songs I love that prominently feature delay are “Detachable Penis” by King Missle and “Holiday In Cambodia” by the Dead Kennedys.
mmmichelin1 thumbs up DK. Echoplex use by the dead Kennedy's is iconic,in my opinion. Love that shit!
My favorite delay in a song is “either they decorated for Christmas early..,..” by he is legend. I’d never heard dotted 8th notes to that point and it blew my mind.
'Wonderfull Land' (The Shadows) and almost anything by Allan Holdsworth when he is using a clean tone.
Ah, finally some love for the Shadows!
Man! Your Video Production has improved *SO* much!
I enjoyed this... humorous, informative, good times√ But your new Uploads
blow this old stuff out of the water! :D
Soda Stereo - En la Ciudad de la Furia (MTV Unplugged Version, feat. Andrea Echeverry)

you're welcome ;)
thank you for existing.
Ah! Thanks for uploading. I love these; super informational! Just discovered most of my favourite guitar-driven songs/solos don't seem to have a lot or any delay... I was going to pick Pink Floyd's live version of Comfortably Numb from Pulse, but it just sounds like a lot of verb!
Pat Flanigan He uses Boss DD2 (two of them), T-Rex Replica, Providence Chrono, and some MXR rack delays. Idk if he still uses the MXRs tho, but those are all over "The Wall".
I'd bet that the Pulse version uses at least one DD-2 and maybe the MXR Rack. Gilmourish.com has all the info on Gilmour tone and rigs.
Love it - so much delay, so little time.... or something.... Just a little offended hough (not really) about the oil-can short shrift. Such weird steampunk techno ubercool unique! Oil can is cool. You mentioned tape then straight to bucket brigade... where is Binson in your rant???
Yeah - effectively skipped oil-can delays, drum delay (Binsons), and gave very short shrift to modulated delay, lofi delay, etc ... At least he doesn't pretend JHS pedals are particularly good, or anything. :P
Jon Green Damn straight! See my comment about "The Mighty 'Bin!"
Kieren Moore Some of them are, tho. The Panther and the Pink Panther are both really nice analog and digital delays, respectively.
Fun story. My wife and I were in Ireland in March of 2018, we were driving around in the countryside and found the ruins of an old castle by some guys farm. We were walking around it and we kept thinking it looked familiar. After we got back to the states we were looking through our record collection and realized the castle was the castle on the back of the unforgettable fire album.
Angels and Airwaves- Heaven or of course, Angels and Airwaves- The Adventure.
Tom DeLonge was inspired by U-2 :)
The one song that got me into delays was Kingston Wall's Take you to sweet harmony, just listen to the intro and you're hooked!
Still on that road and now I have 6 different delays. Almost bought a seventh last week :D
I was listening to Copeland about 15 years ago :)
Artcore103
Copeland is an incredible band that never made it as big as they should have.
Totally underappreciated band.
Really sophisticated/ intentional instrumentation and song structure.
Favorite Delay moment. "Bela Lugosi's Dead" Bauhaus. You can clearly hear Daniel playing with a tape delay to make his guitar sound ... otherworldly.
The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition
Beat me to it man. Great example of delay done right
Yuuup
This is such a fun one to try and replicate
The track that made me absolutely love delay was Sweet Disposition by and Australian band called The Temper Trap - I'm sure you've heard it but it was thing that made me obsessed with the effect and why I now have four different delay pedals on my board!
I love Edge's use of delay (not necessarily his playing) and it inspires me. I like some U2 songs but I don't really like the band that much.
Cue Zephyr I agree. I believe they have become a band for people who really don’t like rock music but like to pretend they do.
I think u2 was incredible until 1992 and then they screwedd up their own legacy
@tubenshaft I don't know what you mean. Do you mean they like money/politics/power more than music, or something else entirely?
Coming from a bass player,
Between JHS, BOSS, EHX, FoxGear, Guy Pratt, and many others.. I think I’m addicted to pedals. It’s like creating your own unique tonal identity. It’s never ending. My favorite delay work is anything Pink Floyd related(my favorite band of all time). Including the Syd Barrett era with all of the “Binson Echorec” stuff. As guitar work goes, I’d say “Another brick in the wall” parts 1 & 2. As a Bass player, I love “One of these days.” With that being said, I love the intense tremolo sound in the “bass solo” part as well.
Way to go man. You’re awesome and looked up to by a lot of us. We appreciate everything.
