Then a couple of months ago someone near me was selling a Empress Superdelay for a stupid price, so I figured what the hell, give that one a go.
I really like it.... I've A/B'ed it with my Carbon Copy and H20.... and I much prefer it.... especially the tape delay option. I think the thing I like about it is, that it really still sounds like my guitar tone underneath. It was a little bit like when I got a compressor with a blend pot.
I found with the Carbon Copy in particular, even on its lowest settings, its not that it sounds bad.... but I cant hear enough of my original tone behind the delayed signal. I thought the H20 seemed better in that respect.... but both were considerably behind the Superdelay.... to my ears at least.
I'd really like to try to Empress Tape Delay now......
:-S
I have a Memory boy Deluxe and a BOSS Space echo. Both wonderful. I do however play in a wedding function pub Jam band, so variation is good.
If anyone is interested, I have a website dedicated to this unit at www.tc2290.com
I have a Watkins Copicat, which I have used once on a recording, and there's a reverb tank in my AC30. I have found that used sparingly, all these FX have their uses. I have also found that on some songs it's better not to use them at all.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

I'm not at all a U2 fan but from what I've seen on documentarys the Edge has a painstaking approach to nailing what he wants from the guitar.
