Anyone know of amy good cheap digital delays? Behringer, Johnson, Danelectro? Maybe some sort of Boss knockoffs?
I'm planning on buying a cheap Biyang analog delay. I'm also planning on running the delays in a TB loop with the nanoverb. To save my tone and yield some sweet textures.
Any experiences? Any ideas?

Not quite as bright sounding or feature-rich as a Boss, but it's pretty cheap. I bet they go for almost nothing used.
I like the echo/delay switch a lot. And self oscillation in echo mode.

That is a great pedal for the money.The echo sounds better than most 'simulations' to my ears.

Re: Best cheap digital delay!?
Do you have any personal experience with this pedal?
I'm leaning towards this one:

Here's a demo:

For all I know,it could be a decent dd6 or 7 copy,but if it's housed in that typical behringer plastic case=
...
Don't have any experience with it,though...

Re: Best cheap digital delay!?
I'd go for this digitech:
http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/DigiTech-DigiDelay-Digital-Delay-Pedal?sku=150821&src=3WFRWXX&ZYXSEM=0&CAWELAID=26018386
$99 new, but I've seen them on ebay in the $50-$60 range. Look at the features, this thing has four seconds of delay! I think this is a very versatile pedal, and for the money, I would take it over a Boss delay.

EHX #1 echo if you are goin' digital, good deal for the price. MXR carbon copy if analog. personally, i'd go analog over digital for some better knob play.

Re: Best cheap digital delay!?
Thanks for the input guys!
I'm gonna go with the Biyang for analog delay, and mod it to a wah enclosure. For $37 and some change you can't beat the AD7.
I really dig the 4 second looper digi has.... Do you know if it has tap tempo? I know the dd400 does... And it has a little phrase psudo-looper thing. All for around $20-30. And be cause I'm gonna run them in a bypass loop. It'll preserve my tone.
If I get a chance I'll try and post a demo of my $60 dollar noise mod rig (includes the Ad7, DD400, and nanoverb in a loop).

Re: Best cheap digital delay!?
DigiDelay is a tap tempo unit...and works great in feedback loop to create swell sounds and self oscillation.But it doesn't do the oscillation trick by itself.
