Any time TPS does a show on delay, I’m hooked. Also, I love that Dan’s playing is so unpredictable! Most guitarists have that wheelhouse of chords/riffs that you default too when jamming around. With Dan, it’s something completely different every time, he totally lets the sounds take control of what he plays, it is a beautiful thing to behold!!!
@@ThatPedalShow this is why I miss the pick n mixes so much. Dan's playing is simply much more representative of something I might want to hear or play than any of the gear demo pages out there.
I love your show, guys. Thanks for bringing so much information to people. I even listen to the channel when I drive across Europe with my phone on the seat, NOT watching it, I must add!
I was enjoying this show a lot, and then the Jazzmaster came out and I saw the angels coming down from the heavens. Some things are meant to be together, that specific guitar with that specific delay with that specific amp = magic!
Oh just stop it will you - more pedals I need!!! Fabulous sound on that intro Daniel. That's among my favourite ways to play, and those harmonics at the end of it. Sweet. Mega. Awesome. Love it. Happy Friday!
I’m about to get the Starlight, but let’s be honest: the Belle Epoch Deluxe is in another league on the EP3 setting. And it’s not just a matter of EQ I think, it’s the voicing, the musicality, the vibe. At least hearing it from here. Did you guys feel this way in the room? That « Tourist » bit on it was simply glorious! Also glorious, Mick with a Les Paul! Cheers and thanks for the in-depth comparison guys
@@ThatPedalShow thanks for the confirmation Mick. Love the hifi and versatility (EM3/DMM/Digital) aspects of the Starlight, but really, the BED seems to belong to the category of magic boxes that bring this « je ne sais quoi », goodness, spirit, thing of its own, that we all look for in our tone quests! All the best
I am very much in agreement with Mick at the end of the video. I have owned and sold a few pedals purely because they felt like a constant rabbit hole. I need simplicity in my pedals or I will lose interest. It took me nearly a year to bother setting presets on my Wampler Terraform. Maybe I'm just lazy. Lol! Glorious sounds, gents! Much appreciated as always!
Great comparison! One little thing though: Mode 2 on the Belle Epoch Deluxe is a “Dark analog voicing, inspired by classic BBD delays” (from the manual), so it makes sense why it sounds that much darker than the starlight ;) Keep going guys, love your show!!
EPIC! After the Lego tape delay show you guys made, it has become clear that what makes a delay musical for me is the compander. The "almost reverb" like drag that the analog man has is exactly that. And that is what most digital emulations miss to do well. My love for the memory man continues to grow. Please, please please compare that specific analog man with more recent ones and even the memory boy and good digital solutions that are available.
There's a lot to love with these UA pedals, and I would get the modulation pedal in a heartbeat ... if it has presets and midi. On the Delay side of things, I'm love my Strymon Volante, which I think its a great example of how a pedal can be super intuitive to use, provide midi switching unobtrusively (and, of course, sound amazing). I'm interested (and excited) to see where UA go next with their pedals.
Another awesome show, please do a comparison on the Golden reverberator, would love to hear your thoughts on how it compares sonically to the CXM 1978 for example.
Dripping in dela y!!! the Starlight sound fidelity and effects variations are extremely good same can be said for the Golden & Astra very impressive UA debut. I'm not particularly disturbed by the lack of M One D One 🙂 ... though I understand that others are
So glad you guys featured the deluxe memory man! It’s my desert island never sell pedal - it’s just magic. It can do so much and bizarrely sounds quite tape-y..! Mick you gotta spend some time with it - does a great slapback as well! No presets required - just use your foot!
I've owned a pile of EHX DMMs, still own two, been through so very many delays, and the Walrus ARP-87 wins the delay/echo spot on my board. It doesn't mess with the dry signal, no input impedance weirdness, tone control for repeats, tap tempo for anyone who cares (not me), and most importantly, magical musical washy 3D tape-like repeats. There are things I'd love to change about it: it doesn't have 100% wet as an option as well as no self-oscillation, and for a digital delay it should have no noise whatsoever but adds audible pink noise wether bypassed or not. That said, I still can't beat it, and boy have I tried.
Excited to watch this one! I actually moved the Starlight on after comparing it to the MXR Echoplex and the ARDX20 I already had on my board! I used some of the funds to get the Amaze1 for the ARDX20 and have not regretted it at all. I think Mick's oft-repeated add-age about the simpler the pedal, the more creative it allows you to be, holds true here. Not that the Starlight is complicated, really! It's just complicated *enough* to get me out of playing, and messing with knobs and different modulation settings and blah blah blah. I did add the Chase Tone Secret Pre to the end of my board when I swapped the Belle Epoch Deluxe out for the MXR, so I'm getting the EP preamp with another pedal. That should be noted! The MXR really is a fantastic tape delay pedal, though, and I think so much of that has to do with ease of use! It just is pretty much impossible to make it sound bad with the controls made available to the user. I have left it on the same setting for over a year, lol!
@@ThatPedalShow It's just so good, it's dumb. I resisted buying it for a few years because of having to wait, and having the DM-2w that I also love, but it is just so damn good it is entirely in it's own league. The slap on it!!!!!! Holy shit!!!!!
Great sounds today boys! I have the Empress which does have easy access to presets with the foot switches on the top as well as sounding awesome. I use 5 or 6 settings for my function band to cover the songs we do.
I have the Golden Reverb and Astra Modulation pedal and love them for sound and simplicity and I think I may pull the trigger on the Starlight as well.
Did you end up getting the Starlight? I too have the Golden and Astra, and I just received the Dream 65 today as well. I also have the Strymon Timeline, but the Starlight has always caught my interest.
@AmbientMelancholy yes I did. But I ended up trading them back in about a year and a bit ago. I ended up with two H90's and absolutely love them. I am interested in the UAFX Lion.
Wow ... UA Starlight makes some really wonderful sounds; but for me the echosystem is still my pedal board go to because of MIDI control. That said I would definitely use it in a studio setting. As always another great show, thanks for sharing Messieurs!
Just got my Starlet the other day and I'm so pleased with it. Re-watched this to get some tips and though I would agree that its on the tad bright side, I'm going to be playing a couple of gigs this month with an eight-piece reggae band, so those lush tape & and DMM dub repeats are going to cut through the mix very nicely thank you very much :) (By the way - you can store presets and call them up using the app now, via bluetooth).
I see the Starlight more as a pedal that you would use in a studio environment, where the template is so neutral and crystal clear, it allows you to shape it the way you would want post production, In terms of EQ and in terms of gain structure.
Awesome show guys- this is one I've been hoping for ever since I saw the Golden on your board a few weeks back. You guys do a great job of not just saying "it's great" but fairly putting the pedal up against real tape and esp. the DMM. I own a DMM, and have been gigging it for over a decade. I also have a lot of digital delay modeling pedals- including the Strymon and a few TCs and Catalinbreads. Some of these are great, and offer cool controls (volante) but non yet capture the feel of an actual analog device (I'd say Catalinbreads are closest as they do have preamps) - which you guys are very honest about- you gotta have those preamps. It will be very interesting to see what UAD does with preamp models and if that factor pushes these to that extra bit of magic. Now- what I'm really interested in is the UAD golden. I've decided to buy a "new" "modern" reverb pedal, and there are now a slew of choices offering "hi fidelity" modern verb - I've narrowed this down to the Golden, the Meris Mercury 7, or the Walrus R1. One thing I don't fully understand is if these newer "hi fi" verbs are actually higher fidelity than say slightly older pedals- like is the R1 actually higher bit depth/ sample rate than their older pedals like the fathom- or is this just marketing? LOVE to see you guys do a modern, hi fi reverb shootout. Thanks!
Great show folks, I’ve been waiting for this one! I got the Startlight on launch because I’m obsessed with getting a “simple” tape delay simulator pedal with tap tempo. I’ve had so much difficulty connecting with the tape sound... just sounds thin to me. I’ve been LOVING the memory man mode however. I wish I could combine the two sounds somehow :) give me tape vibe with memory man richness and I’d be good to go :)
Those were some magical sounds. Your delay episodes never disappoint! Mick, your Casino is just sounding glorious. Your journey with it inspired me to order an Epiphone Emily Wolfe Sheraton Stealth. Even if it's not a real 335 it seemed like a very good starting point for possible upgrades. Cheers guys!
“It is a big chunka thing to pull out”....😂😂😂 Mick repeating it and dropping the laugh in passing is exactly why I LOVE YOU TWO!!! Great show and the outcome of this show is that delay rules.
Stereo is a must have, for me. I've run a stereo rig since 1990. My first amp was a stereo amp, and I've never felt the need to play in mono except for simple jam session type of stuff.
Man I love this stuff and will never get tired of your delay shows, but don't mind me: I was love Pedal Jams, so what do I know? I am a year or so older than Dan, but hail from the same kind of experience: racks, midi and such. But, Mick, I want to be more like you and just dial in a great all around delay and just go. LOL. I appreciate all that both of you say and play when it comes to delays. Mick: I just got a DD500 - and I will probably use less than 10% and it will be a new way to do what I have always done with delays, but I also know a may eventually midi up to the DAW and use it for other things there. But anyway, great show. Fun stuff and always a highlight of the week for me. Uncle Larry on Tone Talk tonight, btw. I'm sure that it'll be a hot mess of awesome.
Great shout on the DD-500. It’s my choice for a modern multi - Mick here. Something about the UI and the fact you can have two delays very simply at your feeet. Cracking unit!
Right on, Mick. 2 delay lines is exactly the thing that got me here. Very good modulations - and the buffer on board changed my rig to the better. Very pleased.
Such inspiring sounds from the Starlight. Really perfect for a stereo rig. Given the preamp issue, if one wanted to add a preamp pedal, like the APE or Chase Tone Secret Preamp, where in the pedal chain would it go?
Wonderful Sounds from Dan & Mick again! I have come to realize that I am Analog all the way in terms of Delay. I only wish that The Catalinbread Bell Epoch and the UA Stalright had Multiple Presets and/or MIDI,
I've been planning on doing it the old-fashioned way, with an Akai reel-to-reel I've had forever, just to experiment, but I've never gotten around to it yet.
Would the EQ problem be solved if the Color knob on the Starlight is put all the way down on the EP mode and using the APE or e.g. an Echoplex Preamp pedal to do that bit?
Great video guys! Appreciated all of the comparisons. Throughout the course of the video my mind kept changing about what I liked best/ what would work best for me. The real tape sounded amazing but how often would I use that sound? The memory man had a magical quality about it. Yet the starlight seemed to cover both bases with extra clarity which might ultimately make it more useable. I agree with Mick though, to be able to darken the tone of the repeats would probably make it indispensable.
Loving the content as usual, having spent lockdown paring down my board to the ultimate fly rig ( D&M, Keeley Caverns, Harmonious Monk and a tuner- realistically all I need for rehearsals and most gigs....) but I’m feeling the need to have a similarly high quality bigger board & don’t want to go back to my previous mess , so by way of a thank you, I’ve decided to treat myself & pulled the trigger on a Qm6, Gigrig power and some high end cables, can’t wait to hear it all👍🇬🇧🎸

👍🏻 nice work
Or for Days, D-Days, D-Days, D-Days if you’re a dotted 8th kinda guy
Days, ays, ys, s. That's tape in collaboration with digital.
Days Days (stereo panning)
The thing that always amazes me about real tape delays is that they work. I love that someone got the idea, tried it and it worked.
Cooler still is that it was Les Paul who first did that (if my memory serves me correctly)
@@andreweasombentley4703 I do believe you are correct. Les Paul himself.
@@andreweasombentley4703
Yes. Les and his magic boxes. He invented so much that made recorded music even possible, as an art form.
If I were playing that intro jam I would have never stopped.
Mick actually had to slap him to get him to stop playing and make the episode but they cut that bit out. That's why Dans cheek is a bit rosey.
some great guitar love making sounds in this one!

That little “The Tourist”-y bit around 27:40 or so made me smile
Good lord-I look forward to the intro playing in every single TPS video with all my heart!
One of my favorite radiohead songs! Great to hear you guys playing something like that, even though I love your regular riffage.
Oh I’m loving a bit of The Tourist, my favourite track from OK Computer, thanks Dan 👍
I must have been dozing on and off through that whole video nearly, it was so peaceful :)
That so happens to me on most of their delay vids! It's just relaxing for the soul
@@rawknbearbell7032 🙏😴😁 Your right, it is.
What the... that intro, MAN ALIVE!!! Legends. 🖤🤘🏻

As a purveyor of the Chapel of Powerchords I don't have much time for delay, but after 10 minutes of Dan I'm hooked.
I was enjoying this show a lot, and then the Jazzmaster came out and I saw the angels coming down from the heavens. Some things are meant to be together, that specific guitar with that specific delay with that specific amp = magic!
I've never been a Les Paul sort of person, but every time Mick plays one I find myself window shopping
Cork sniffing at its finest! Great show gents. Loved every minute of it.
Hahahah! We luv dem corkages!
Dan's ambient jazzmaster playing was sensational
What a great chill way to start my day. Cheers!
Oh just stop it will you - more pedals I need!!! Fabulous sound on that intro Daniel. That's among my favourite ways to play, and those harmonics at the end of it. Sweet. Mega. Awesome. Love it. Happy Friday!
Thanks for giving us even more reasons to own multiple delay pedals, chaps 😁👍
This just makes me wnat to get a Deluxe Memory Man to be honest
That is the only sane response really. Awesome!
I feel like that will always be a solid answer
Jam Pedals Delay Llama Supreme is a good shout. Discountinued for the Extreme, but the Supreme is awesome.
@@mattelder9147 I don't think the Xtreme is discontinued?
You're right though, it's an amazing delay pedal!

The preamp of the Starlight will be added with the upcoming app, to my understanding. So it'll be interesting to see that change.
The second you put that into stereo... WOW! That was some goodness, with everything you all put into it.
Yeah, it really shines in stereo
A limited feature set on a pedal is a selling point for me.
Felt tip pen on the knobs of the belle epoch deluxe is a stroke of genius, bravo sir's
The Epi with Starlight in stereo was EPIC! Couple of pints in, chills man! Maybe douche chills but chills just the same! :)
Very nice show again. I never get tired of delay effects.
Best regards from Denmark
the starlight is incredible...i love this thing

Such inspiring sounds from the Starlight. Really perfect for a stereo rig. Given the preamp issue, if one wanted to add a preamp pedal, like the APE or Chase Tone Secret Preamp, where in the pedal chain would it go?
Hello! You could run it just before, or roght at the start of the chain. Just make sure it's before the delay. Cheers!
@@ThatPedalShow thanks, guys! Appreciate your response!
Wonderful Sounds from Dan & Mick again! I have come to realize that I am Analog all the way in terms of Delay. I only wish that The Catalinbread Bell Epoch and the UA Stalright had Multiple Presets and/or MIDI,
I've been planning on doing it the old-fashioned way, with an Akai reel-to-reel I've had forever, just to experiment, but I've never gotten around to it yet.
I do a lot of midi stuff, although I've switched to a Fishman triple play, and I doubt I'll go back.
Would the EQ problem be solved if the Color knob on the Starlight is put all the way down on the EP mode and using the APE or e.g. an Echoplex Preamp pedal to do that bit?
No, as the color knob controls rec. level in EPIII mode
U guys have the best job in the world
I just bought this pedal this week it’s great
Kingsley Tube Echo would be a dream..
Great video guys! Appreciated all of the comparisons. Throughout the course of the video my mind kept changing about what I liked best/ what would work best for me. The real tape sounded amazing but how often would I use that sound? The memory man had a magical quality about it. Yet the starlight seemed to cover both bases with extra clarity which might ultimately make it more useable. I agree with Mick though, to be able to darken the tone of the repeats would probably make it indispensable.
That’s about the middle and both ends of it we think. Thank you!
Loving the content as usual, having spent lockdown paring down my board to the ultimate fly rig ( D&M, Keeley Caverns, Harmonious Monk and a tuner- realistically all I need for rehearsals and most gigs....) but I’m feeling the need to have a similarly high quality bigger board & don’t want to go back to my previous mess , so by way of a thank you, I’ve decided to treat myself & pulled the trigger on a Qm6, Gigrig power and some high end cables, can’t wait to hear it all👍🇬🇧🎸
Awesome, nice one John! Dan will be very grateful! Enjoy that rig!
Looking fwd to seeing that 54 Goldtop reissue in action on future TPS shows!
