Got my new delay pedal!

[Eric O'Reilly]

My mxr carbon copy arrived, and it is just as good as i thought, great transparent sound, easy too use and very great analog soft repeats and a huge lead sound! What fun through the loop if my 5150, i have given the delay alot of thought , and i am glad i went with the mxr. I love it, and clean its great with the modulation on its chimey and beautiful. And the lead gain sound sings with one or two repeats and the mix up to 12 oclock and the the delay at 1 oclock. Great fun pedal, and sounds great, no pop when turning it on and off, just smooth transition, and great analog delay, now dont get me wrong i would love a eventide rack or roland rack delay and echo unit, and well im at it an eventide h3000 and a wet dry wet setup! Hah! But no,.. It is a great bargin and a very well made product.

That's great news, Eric. Your rig is coming together very nicely. Hold on to that head. I regret selling mine.

Eric, congrats, I knew you would like it. BTW, I leave mine on at all times while playing.

i'm glad you went with the MXR CC! I can see you're very much in love as I am with its chiminess and how it savours up the guitar sound...cheers!

I leave mine on almost all the time too.

Cool. My Egnater has an "effects loop" on/off switch on the pedal. The pedal sits on top of the head.It's easy to turn it off if I want a dry tone, but mostly, I use just enough delay to slightly enhance things .

Guys, question. Why is Digitech's Hardwire DL-8 not even mentioned anywhere. I know that Steve Lukather uses two of them. I tried to research but didnt find much. Even the dealer didnt want to sell it to me....what's wrong? Steve must know what he is doing, no?

Yup. I've seen a Flashback or two in Luke's rig but has favored the hardwires for some time now. The entire hardwire series are great.

Hmmm. Digital or analog?

If I'm not mistaken, Dave Friedman, who did Luke's board, favours the DL-8. (Luke's have been modified to kill the dry signal, though.)

Lots of guys love that pedal and it's also relatively inexpensive.
