I really wanted to cal this "Talk dirty to me" but I have too many drive pedals already...
Anyway, I've sold my Alter Ego X4. It was a brilliant sounding pedal, but didn't do dual rhythmic delays and lack of modulation control was annoying.
Sooo... what else is out there? I've had a Timefactor before and really liked that (big screen and full-dual delays on every mode especially), but the PSU they come with is shite and alternatives power options are really expensive.
Criteria...
I need:
- tap tempo
- multiple storable patches, at least 3, but preferably shitloads
- fully independent dual/stereo delay so I can have one repeat of 1/4 and 3 repeats of dotted 8th at different volumes or whatever
And I'd like:
- digital simulation of analog seems to be the obvious option. I've never actually found a strictly-analog I've got on with, unless there's something analog with digital control (pigtronix maybe?)
- bpm and ms options would be nice
- a proper screen to show parameter values and/or patch names/numbers
- easy to run from basic PSUs - anything that'll daisychain off a Diago is a winner...!
Does this ring any bells other than Timefactor and Timeline?
Failing that, please list any delay pedals you've had and specifically what they do well and badly. Emphasis on the annoying stuff!

The Boss DD-7 might be worth a look, certainly for the tap-tempo (@Drew_FX uses them becasue of this feature.
The DD-6 doesn't do tap tempo, but is a very useable delay.

Probably even more expensive than a Timeline, though.
Until then though, my vote is also for the DD-7. Good value for money.
Works for me, as does the Digitech Digidelay and the VisualSound Axle Grease. But then I'm a kinda "set and forget" type of guy.

Ah, well at least I've learnt something.

GAk had them fairly well priced recently.
Not sure if it does presets... But it gets you a lot of the way. Decent analogue model, easy tap tempo etc.
It's why I liked the Nova Repeater a lot. Great sounds, quiet in the effects loop (didn't notice noise up front, but @drew_fx did), dedicated tap tempo and generally easy to use, with several subdivision options.
No presets though.
