Could you tell the difference between tape/bbd/digital delays at a live show?

my brother in law saw me playing with pedals a while back and was like what are those? i explained what each one did and showed him an example playing them.

he was like i had no idea they even made stuff like that. I'm sure he has been to plenty of concerts and such. just an example of how non guitar focused people think about stuff or dont think about it at all haha.

Much like that awkward conversation when a visitor to your home asks why you have so many guitars, and you start explaining different features, tones, tunings, genres, bands, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. And it's obvious when you're done that they still have no idea why you would have more than one guitar.

We live in a parallel universe.

Just read a comment on Youtube where a guy said "how often can you tell a tape delay from a digital delay at a gig?" and I'm like ..... are you serious???


Do you think you could??

Yes, but only if the band is REEEEEEALLY boring.

Always keep it in simple terms.

“This guitar is for when I’m happy” (Strat)

“This guitar is for when I’m sad” (Les Paul)

“This guitar is for when I want to punch a hole through someone’s face” (Ibanez RG)
