What's out there?
I'm looking at delay options for a mostly jam-based band, thinking Verve, QOTSA, Death Cab, sort of vibes in terms of guitars.
So far I threw together a brilliant little Nano+ board which sounds utterly fantastic. I'm keen to keep the vibe, but the ADG-1 has no tap tempo and it breaks my heart. Also the ability to recall a preset or 2 would be good.
What exists that might do the trick? Ideally something with some ability to add dirt and EQ to the repeats, and definitely some amount of warble. My other favourites are the Eventide Timefactor and Strymon Volante but neither of those are going to fit on this board. I'm not dead-set on "actual analog" but prefer things at the more vintage side of things tonally.
Soooo.....
Walrus D1
Strymon Brigadier
Strymon El Cap
Suhr Discovery (this really does look like a good opportunity to try one of these)
Benson Delay
Boss DD200
Can the Boss DM101 do 2 delays at once, in which case it could *maybe* replace the ADG and Deco. Though I'm keen to keep the Deco unless something else can do the same noises.
Anything else?

DOD Rubberneck?
I have a feeling the big Boss is brilliant but not what I need for this purpose, similar to the Volante.
Rubberneck is a good shout though. I also wish the Walrus Meraki was smaller (and half the price!)
Or poss the Keeley Halo and Caverns/Parallax (no tap on these 2?). The Halo in particular seems to have had a lot of buzz online
The other guitar in the band also has a Flint which sounds amazing. I assume this is how everyone ends up with ALL THE STRYMONS
I guess Chase Bliss will also pop up eventually but I don't think I wanna go quite that dense and full-of-switches...!
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
For small with vintage voices and 2 presets (plus ramping, tap tempo and expression pedal control) the GFI Orca is brilliant.
The Delay Llama III is wonderful. I loved my Xtreme but it kept on having a fit and randomly shitting the bed so not workable for me.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
My solution?
The newer excellent, easy to use SA Nemesis ADT.
Bostin’….
