i recently got a delay pedal, a gekko, replacing my mad professor deep blue delay, and here is what i can say
delays can sometimes be great when used for soloing, but not for rhythm, or vice versa
they can bee too fat sounding, making your base tone muddy or too bright and un-organic
i've always wanted a delay that seems like a reverb, something that is in between bright and round, something that will keep my base tone and is organic at the same time, very subtle modulation which does not drown your tone, no chorus wobble, something i can use for solos and rhythm parts...
thanks to my bandmate Edgie who introduced Himmelstrutz pedals to me. I've never got interest in them as they are so expensive. if you get a chance to try a gekko delay, just do, it'll be worth it
here is my #33 gekko pedal from the man himslelf, Joakim Hedeby of Himmelstrutz Pedals
