We Love Delay - Here Are 10 Ways You Can Too

Welcome to the show. Dan and I have learned a great deal over the life of this show, so here are our favourite things we’ve learned about delay in all that time.

We hope the discussion and demos inspire some ideas and things to try in your own rigs and playing!

Enjoy the show…

PLEASE NOTE: We use the terms ‘delay’ and ‘echo’ interchangeably during this video. While ‘echo’ is often used to mean more vintage-sounding delays, technically it is all delay: it is your sound repeated.
