Everything produced by this company is pretentious shit for hipsters.

>>51969606
Ive bought better for 45 bucks

EHX is the Target of guitar pedals. They're not bad, but you're paying a little more for something that isn't Boss or Digitech.

>tfw paid 200 bucks for my delay
>is still the low end model of said delay

>implying the DMM isn't a classic
>implying the POG series wasn't revolutionary and still aren't the best tracking octave pedals available
>implying the soul food isn't an affordable clone of $400 pedal
>implying the small clone and small stone aren't legends
>implying the big muff isn't a legend

you're a fucking idiot.

>>51969606
>it's cool to hate what other ppl like
EH made some of the most influential pedals out there, you ignorant asshole. Big Muff, Small Stone, Memory Man, Electric Mistress are some of them.
They always put out original circuitry in a market where 80% of the shit is a ripoff of someone else's.
This said I'm not particularly enthusiastic about the newer aluminium diecast housed effects.

>>51969817
I just wanted a delay not a fake analog bleep bloop machine, I learned my lesson and stick to Boss

>>51969817
Their new pedal, Pitch Fork, looks pretty cool.

>>51969882
>Boss
>anything but entry level shit
Kek unless you are spending like 300 bucks on DM2/3s or something you are wasting your money

Burden of evidence is on you.

>>51969896
yeah it's great. wish it had a mix control but whatever.

EHX's build quality can sometimes be questionable but all of my pedals have been stomped on for years and continue to be great. they're also pretty reasonably priced.

that said, the entire memory boy/toy line is utter shit IMO. OP's ignorant ass should have just bought a used SMM/H. it's a rad pedal.

>boutique fag detected

Boss is based. DD series is untouchable. SD-1 is brilliant.

>>51969982
>Boutique Fag detected
yer goddamn right. Boutique pedals are literally the only way to go.

isn't that the brand that The Edge basically pioneered and made popular like 30 years ago?

>>51969980
I know perfectly how to use a delay and I can tell you that "depth" knob is useless shit, the dry to wet is barely passable and feedback sucks

>>51970015
>shilling this hard

>>51970059
More like reverse shilling

>>51969982
word
Also Boss RDD 20 is the best digital delay ever made

>>51969606
That's like saying Justin Timberlake's music is pretentious.
Boutique pedals are the essence of hipsterdom.

>>51970084
maybe best is a stretch but it's really easy to use and sounds great.

>>51970015
this is b8

>>51970127
no b8 there m8
The only times I would choose to not buy Boutiques would be for basic function pedals like tuners, and maybe a chorus. I really dig the MXR micro chorus. Especially for the price.

depends on what you want
sometimes you need a warm ambience not a trashcan in a cathedral

>>51970479
The thing is, it's not only a reverb. It sounds more like reverb+chorus+unmanageable pre-delay.

>>51970179
>>51970179
the fact that you're not judging pedals based on sound and build quality but obscurity of the builder and high price means you're either dim or chasing internet forum cred.

it's one thing using boutiques to play to big crowds or on records that thousands will hear, but most guys online buy $500 delays that never leave a bedroom

after touring with big acts and spending time in studios with some pretty pro engineers who loved their phase 90s and digitech pedals I don't buy the boutique hype anymore.

>>51969606
he mammary boy is one of my favorite delays. The delayed vibe tone is fucking bonerrific.

It's all about what colours you like, and need. Sometimes you need a really specific boutique delay color or fuzz, or whatever. Other times you need a compressor pedal that sounds better as an overdrive.

and so on.

>>51970749
for 640 bucks it better sound very good

Bill "Brill" Frisell disagrees

>>51970855
have you heard his stuff? Sure there's soloing, but I wouldn't call it boring... Weird maybe, but def not boring.

>>51971074
>>51971074
No, link me to it.

It's just been my experience (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL BANDS LIKE TERA MELOS, MELT BANANA, MBV)

that the more pedals and gear a person has at their feet the more boring their show and music is going to be.

>>51969606
I really like my ravish sitar. It's not authentic sitar but it gets some cool sounds.

i've been using a Holy Grail and it kinda sucks.

whats another good reverb?

>>51969941
My first delay pedal was a Memory Toy.

Fucking hate it. It's shit.

>>51971388
>holy grail
>sucks
Are you talking about the mini one?

>>51971406
i'm talking about the holy grail plus

it's a huge tone suck

>>51971404
yeah the mammary toy was mediocre as fuck, on par with the carbon copy and other entry level bleh analog delays. the mammary boy and MBDeluxe, and memory man deluxe are GOAT tier analogs though.

>>51971388
just get a tc hall of fame and be done with it for a while, the only truly great reverbs outside of the digital verbs like line 6's and tc's are the fender tube verb unit, and deluxe springs which cost to much to haul around all the time.

i have that pedal and i love it!

>>51969606
The more money you spend the better musician you are goyim

>>51971150

you're mostly right. especially on the internet. there's often an inverse correlation of gear and skill.

>>51971570
the carbon copy is utterly based. don't put it in the same category as the mem toy. i have an old AD-9 and DM-2 and I actually prefer the carbon copy.

>>51974298
the ad-9 is good, so is mad professors deep blue, but the carbon copy didn't really do anything for me.

>>51971748
at least throw some LEDs in there for fucks sake

i have a big muff i fucking love it it is essential to me

so i like EHX

>>51974338
tbh I hate the AD-9. way too much low end on the repeats. i love how the carbon copy has a high pass on the repeats. makes them sit so much better in a mix.

deep blue is a great pedal though.

>>51974298
>>51974338
How do you deal with not having tap tempo?

>>51974251
aside from >>51971338 and a few others, I would mostly agree.

Pedal hopping while playing a structured piece is really hard, it seems like only a few people are able to use alot of gear like that coherently.

>>51974464
I use an analog delay as the first delay, and a digital delay with tap tempo as the final delay. I use them one or the other for diefferent stuff, and sometimes together, for a big sound.

File: freeze.png (239KB, 400x610px) Image search: [Google]

239KB, 400x610px

The EHX freeze and superego synth are actually pretty useful too.
Not a lot of pedals with that function, especially at the price point.

>>51971747
180 dollars for a "vintage" echo? how good can it possibly be

>>51974644
not good. It's one of those generic 4 knob digital units, like any of the NUX pedals.

>>51970772
Anthony

>>51974579
exactly the same here. i could get away without a digital delay with my recent stuff though. lately i'm finding tap synched delays kinda cheesy.

>>51974745
Cheesy how?

>>51974780
just been hearing a lot of terrible dotted 8ths shit. the edge type stuff. i still sync a lot of delays in my home recordings just not on guitars. i prefer more of an analog/tape wash right now and find it sits better in a mix instead of using heavy reverb.

im starting to appreciate things not lining up in general. for example i think when people sync trems to a tempo its just really corny. really bothers me.

>>51974940
I understand, it's that 2290 digital sound, drives me crazy too. I like to tap a different time sig into the tap delay, that way it's extra fucked, or I use the expression pedal with the mammary boy to warp the delay a bit.

Honestly the line 6 dl4 has some great not-cheesy delays, sweep mode for example is the shit.and it's sounds epic as fuck if tap half time.

>>51974607
That video holy shit

>>51969982
You can get way better than Boss for the price.

The CS-2 and some DDs are the only good ones that they made

>>51969606

take a trip over to prymaxe vintage, I promise there will always be a better pedal than some ehx shit there

>>51974940
>>51975501
I actually believed that synching with the songs tempo is what you were supposed to do.
Any recordings of yourselves or songs that use delay your way?

>>51975727
eh cs-2 is really squishy, but the dd series ir great, so is the sd-1, and I actually enjoy the cs-3 for the driven tone it does, it sounds like shit if you try and use it as a compressor though.

also, the slicer is great, and the PS6, even though it tracks like shit, it's still fun for whacky ass cartoon passages.

>>51975805
I like a squishy compressor tho, you can use it to great effect imo. The SD-1 never really did anything for me, but I understand what you mean.

All their modulation stuff is extra bad and so are most overdrives.

>>51975768
it is what you're "supposed" to do, but it's not like you can't use a pedal anyway you like, utlimately it's just another colour on your pallette, how you use it is up to you.

>>51971811
It's fantastic, probably the best reverb pedal under $500 besides the Big Sky.

Is there a pedal that simulates the sound going backwards? Like if the guitar solo on I'm Only Sleeping, for example, was actually being played fowards but some pedal was making it seem it was recorded and then backwarded.
Is there?

>>51969606
Boutique fags are the new tone/tube fags in the guitar world. I see so many uninteresting setups on people's boards. Nothing but JHS, Strymon, people with buffer. Or its some other goofy startup company building clones and charging absurd prices. Don't get me wrong some of the aforementioned stuff is great but even on a bigger strymon pedal it feels like everything is done for you and you end up losing alot of variety or just fucking with presets all day.

also certain ehx pedals are fucking incredible
i.e. the pog

also, also if youre paying 250/300 for MIJ BOSS pedals, you're being cheated have some patience and look for better deals.

>>51969882
Boss is boring. They have good sturdy construction but their effects and pedals aren't good.

>Their best pedal is their tuner.

>>51976166
>im a fucking dummy

>>51975768
Having an off delay emphasizes it more. The trick is making it emphasize without having it too off to where it sounds cluttered.

>>51976206
>Boss is not very good, the company's only redeeming qualities are the quality of the pedal frame and their variety.

Only occasionally do they make really great pedals/effects.
i.e. Blues Driver, DS-1. tuner.

>>51976469
all pedals that were made much better by other companies, for similar prices

>>51976469
MIJ?

>>51976111
it's called a reverse delay, you just have to turny the dry signal all the way to zero. TC's flashback does this pretty well.

>>51976166
you're an idiot. We've been discussing this in detail already, no not all boss pedals are goat, but plenty are very good.
