Annual effector rankings. This time, we will introduce the top 5 sales rankings for Delay, for which we have received many requests!
5th place TC ELECTRONIC / Flashback 2 Delay
The sound and ease of use are, of course, high level, and the MASH function sets it apart from other models. The Flashback 2 Delay ON/OFF switch has a pressure sensor, so you can get a sound that you can't imagine by stepping strongly on it instead of just turning it on or off as usual. This is a feature you should definitely try out.
4th place Vivie / DolphinDeverb Ver2.1
One unit with delay and reverb. I feel the reverb is lighter than the delay itself, and it sounds more comfortable. The "deverb" requires only one unit. This is the pedal I want most now.
3rd place STRYMON / Time Line
STRYMON advanced delay has a very strong momentum in the pedal market these days. It's no exaggeration to say that everything is of the highest quality, from tape echo, analog delay, and shimmer sound to clear digital delay. For guitarists who use a lot of delay, this is a model that can definitely give you more for the price.
2nd place BOSS / DD-200 DIGITAL DELAY
Personally, not only the sound and functions, but also the size, pedal angle, input / output jack position, and so on are the best from my point of view. This is what “good functional design” is. The twin pedal delay has a somewhat bulky image, but the DD-200 feels more compact than you would expect. And MIDI control is possible by using a special cable! Not only for pedal boards, but also ideal for incorporating into rack systems.
First place MXR / M169 Carbon Copy Analog Delay
A super-standard model that has been a top seller since its release. Provides the simple operation of analog that can be easily used by anyone, and gives a fat, warm delay sound. It's basically a substitute for reverb. An exquisite analog feeling that does not color the original sound. Really easy to use. Once you use it, you'll understand the secret of its popularity.
Summary
There are many high-performance delay products, and the range of choices has expanded greatly. A while ago, even though I wanted to add tap tempo, the models were quite limited, so now is a good era as tehre’s so much choice. Whether you want to use it as an amp reverb, use a sophisticated delay to create the phrase itself, or use a pedal to reproduce a tape echo, you will probably want to choose a completely different model. First of all, think about what you want to use the delay for, and look at the list to find the one that suits you.
