Analog Delay Recommendations...

challen

I use a Way Huge Aqua Puss for slapback. I like the way it sounds but the volume drop when I turn it on has always bugged me a bit. Anyone got any recommendations for a similar sounding pedal without this annoying quirk? The more simple, the better. I'll only be using it for slapback.

Cheers.

Best two I ever had -

Cheap(ish) - Carbon Copy, so good I ran two at one point

Analogman ADRX20 - large, but a thing of beauty

Ha! Large by a straight man’s standard...

Boss DM-2w or Big Box DMM

Thanks for the recommendations, I should add that space on my board is tight so it can't be any bigger than the 'Puss.

If you need modulation then Carbon Copy if you don't then DM2-W.

Back on topic - how about the Ibanez mini analog delay? You could have one of those and a TC Mini in that space

Nice board mate - like it...

Just to say probably not the Carbon Copy. If you hear the Puss as having volume drop you'll hear the same for the CC. If it's primarily for slapback then modulation will be a non issue, the Boss DM2-W probably ticks all the boxes here.
I'd suggest the Minifooger as it has a built in pre amp but it's large and not universally loved.

Not quite analog but what about the Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay? It doesn’t sound digital to my ears and it replaced the Carbon Copy I had.

Looks like I'm going to check out a DM2-W then! Just had a look online, spec looks ideal. Thanks!

This is also on the list to try, I think a friend of mine has one so will see if I can have a go on that, too.

I’ve a minifooger for sale in the ad section. Sounds exactly like what you’re looking for.

used a few:

Dod Rubberneck
EHX DMM 1100tt
Moore Ana Echo
Boss DM2 Waza
Moog minifooger
Chase Bliss TR

Of those, if all you want is slapback, get the Ana Echo. Cheap as Chips and easy to use.

Though the best slapback in my opinion comes from a tape echo, not an analogue one. (my Roland RE501 just sounds awesome for this, though a tad overkill)

Just in case you're still thinking about it and haven't pulled the trigger yet:

I like the Carbon Copy but it's not what I'd use for slapback, it's just a bit too dark sounding and there's better delays out there for that.

Yeah, the DM-2w is defo a better choice for what you want IMO.
