I'm after an analog delay, I've had a few but just want to make sure I have the options covered.
Primarily I want the bright slap / bathroom reverb thing. I had an old Ibanez years ago that did that great.
I've had the DM2-W and DM3, both do it pretty well.
Modulation would be nice
Tap would be nice
I've been looking at
Behringer Vintage Delay - Cheap but no mod and a bit flimsy
DM2-W - No mod but I know I like it
Echo Puss - Modulation and I believe bright enough for good slapback
Rubberneck - I have a HX Stomp for more out there delays but if it can do the simple stuff well without much tweaking why not. The tap and whacky stuff would be cool.
Carbon Copy Deluxe - Better footprint than the rubberneck and easier on power. Has the bright toggle.
I guess I'm looking up to £200 unless something blows my mind. It doesn't have to be analog, but I can't quite replicate the sound in my HX Stomp and my Memory Lane wasn't great in that area either. Needs to be amazing in the lower MS ratings then anything else is a bonus.

The Skreddy is bloody brilliant.
Also, Prov Chrono (mate of mine selling one) although digital has a brilliant tone filter which gives you full analogue sounds.
I'd go Chrono.

That said i love mine and I think they are a bargain new so I wouldn't tell anyone not to get one.
Behringer Vintage Delay - Definitely NOT bright, at least as dark as the Carbon Copy.
DM2-W - Brighter in the Custom mode, but I expect you know this. Still own this one, and sometimes thinking about rigging up some form of oscillator to feed into the Rate socket and thus produce modulation.
Carbon Copy Deluxe - The bright mode isn't actually that bright, more 'dry' if that make sense.
I would recommend trying the EHX Memory Toy - bright at slap settings, selectable modulation (also tweakable for depth if you know which trim pots to turn), small footprint, and cheap as chips used. I use one for always-on slapback in a rock'n'roll band.
The Skreddy Echo is also digital. Unless analogue purism is more important to you than whether it sounds good or not, that shouldn't really matter.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Designed by the ex Moog guy who I believe designed the Moogerfooger delay. I have one and I think it’s much closer to the MF104m than the Suhr Discovery based on the demos I’ve seen of the Discovery.
The tc Bucket Brigade would be another lower cost option.
I might be selling one, if you're interested...

The Adg-1 is exceptional
@menamestom if you wanted to give the Behringer a shot, I've got one lying about you could have for £13 posted.
