I’m sorry, I didn’t want this to get buried in JT’s pedal thread. Delays.

That’s a killer track! Does the Volante SOS have any differences from the El Cap SOS?

I should've responded to this originally, sorry dude. But yeah I think they're basically the same thing. Maybe someone else can confirm???

I’ve had my eye on the Halo myself, but haven’t made the commitment yet.

The proponents were right. It’s certainly capable and unique.

The Halo is another killer delay that I got based on some input here…. So thanks for that. It’s on sale again so it’s a good time to consider.

I haven’t mastered it yet but it sounds great and has a lot of potential from what I can tell. Having presets in such a compact pedal is soooo nice. Eight! I don’t know it well enough to know how to categorize it well. I guess if I had to try real hard it’s somewhere along a clean tape with overtones of a 2290 with shades and hints of analog. No, really that’s all BS. But it does sound good.

I think this may be the only delay pedal that I've loved enough to buy two of them (unless you count the EHX Canyon and Grand Canyon) - first the full-featured original, then the simpler, more straightforward Core version.

They do sound beautiful and are inspiring to use!

If you’re a delay nut like me and you can afford it… YES.

I think I may start with the Volante :-).

Great. Let us know what you think and good luck!

Will do. Thanks!

I'm a big fan of delay pedals. I don't know if this is a suggestion thread, but the answer is "yes!"

I have the following:
Boss DD-7
Boss DD-8
Boss SDE-3
Boss RE-2
Boss SDE-3000D
Boss DD-500
Strymon El Capistan
Strymon Dig

I currently have all but the DD-7 and DD-8 on my various boards. One has the last four on it, and I turned on the dual delays of the DD-500 and SDE-3000D, the two Strymons, and the main delay I had setup on my Boss GT-1000 Core (mainly for gits and shiggles). It was hysterical, yet awesome!

That sounds like a tone of fun! Do you have a favorite?

While this thread is active I want to mention one other delay that I think is pretty stellar. And it might cause some consternation so please visit @timbuck3 and spend an hour or so in the hotub sipping a !margarita if it triggers you.

The UAFX Orion sounds really, really good. Mono, no midi, etc. But if you can catch one at $99… it’s a banger. Switchable EP-3 preamp too.

Yup, I did. Replaced 2 different delays I had (Hammertone Space Delay _ a very nice delay, and a Movall (Caline) Falling Star).
