Best Analog Delay Pedal of March: Reviews & Buyers Guide

The Best Analog Delay Pedal

•  Best Overall: Boss DM-2W Waza Craft Delay Pedal 

Since its inception, BOSS has become a household name among guitarists everywhere thanks to its wide variety of innovative guitar effects, amplifiers, loopers, guitar synthesizers, tuners, and accessories. The 2W is based on the classic Boss DM-2, but it has more sound options and flexibility due to its switchable sound modes. The Custom mode provides a cleaner analog tone and more than double the delay duration of the original (800ms). The speed may be adjusted with an expression pedal, and there is a direct output.

•  Best For Players: Way Huge Smalls Aqua-Puss Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal 

Bright, jangly repetitions and very simple controls have made the Aqua-Puss Analog Delay a legend in the music industry. All that awesomeness is now housed in a Way Huge Smalls enclosure, which your pedalboard will thank you for. This pedal has a delay duration range of 20 milliseconds to 300 milliseconds, making it ideal for thickening tones and re-creating classic slap-back effects. Warning: the Feedback knob controls how long the delay lasts and how loud it sounds. This pedal may be placed into a state of chaotic, time- and space-bending self-oscillation at extreme volumes. Adjust the mix of dry and delay signals, from subtle to extreme, using the Blend control.

•  Best Sound: Ibanez mini-size pedal Analog Delay Analog  

It has a huge Delay Time knob in the center and two smaller knobs for Repeat and Blends on each end. The delay time may be adjusted between 20ms and 600ms. The purest sound and quickest signal route are both benefits of true bypass switching. As a result of its 100% analog circuitry, an analog delay may provide the kind of warm tones that musicians want.

•  Best Durable Pendal: Donner Guitar Delay Pedal 

The Yellow Fall pedal was built using high-quality materials to offer a rich tone and long lifespan. The True Bypass circuitry provides a pure tone, and the aluminum alloy body makes it durable for traveling. The Yellow Fall pedal, with its all-analog construction, produces the kind of silky, warm delay tones heard on the very greatest jazz, rock, and pop records ever made.

•  Best Vintage: Behringer VINTAGE DELAY VD400

The goal of developing this analog delay was to recreate that very first sound. The controls are conveniently placed on top of the machine and are sized for simple use. Rather than using numeric markings, the dials are simply organized from low to high. Here you may adjust the echoes' intensity, how often they repeat, and how often they repeat. You may expect a maximum latency of 300ms from it, which isn't fantastic. There is also a battery indicator LED that may be turned on or off. Its design is quite reminiscent of the Boss analog delay. A single 9-volt battery is all it takes to get it going. You can do without the power cord if you choose.
