(Now a NPD Post) - Which Delay Pedals have LEDs that blink in time, and tap tempo?

...and aren't massive.

Anything on the market like that?

The blinking LED ones, the LED always tends to go out of time with the audio. There is a tech reason for it I suppose. But the Boss DD7 has you covered.

Cool, I didn't realise the DD7 did that (the last compact Boss delay I had was the old DD5 which IIRC didn't have a flashing LED).

Thanks.

Doesn't the new Seymour Duncan do that ?

... Does the flashy thing well but don't think tap tempo so ignore that.

Yeah I saw the demo of that the other week...I do like flashy LEDs

The fact that it never had tap tempo stopped me buying it. Quite important on a delay pedal IMO

T-Rex Duck Tail, and I presume the rest of their delays.

They seem to do a lot of delays don't they? Pretty hard to choose which one

EricTheWeary

T Rec do that Thomann special delay which is cheaper than normal. Tap tempo, don't know if it has flashy thing.

EricTheWeary

T Rex even.

The Playback? Not heard of those...but.....hmmm that could be a sign* ;-)

I'll watch some clips at lunchtime of these (and the other suggestions).

*one of the cover bands I play in is called Playback

I'll check out the dimensions, I thought those were pretty big

A signature pedal at last ! The Playback looks like the LED goes in time although doesn't say so in the brief description on Thomann.

I know, same size as my Big Sky.....but I'm not really after a fancy delay pedal right now.

This is for my gigging board so a bog standard delay will suit me fine (currently using a Carbon Copy)

I've got the Alter Ego x4 on my big board, which I might replace with a Timeline at some point....that's a seperate set-up I have for other stuff not the covers band(s)

YouTube is very glitchy in work wi fi. IIRC that mini range was built for 2014 only so it will be a whilst stocks last deal now ( although they could have ten years supply for all I know). As a general purpose delay they do seem a bargain, I almost wonder what the catch is.
But the pleasure you will get out of nudging the other members of Playback and pointing down at your pedalboard and pretending it was custom made by T Rex just for you is surely priceless...

Wampler faux tape echo does this - I like the sound of it too. It's nearly double the size of a boss peal though.

'El Capistan' does flashing LED and tap tempo
