every delay ever made will do "1/6th" timing. Either enter it manually by putting the delay into milliseconds (dub techno producers used tape delay which had to be set manually). 1/6th might be labelled differently, like triplet or 3/4.

Interruptor - I once accidently mapped their website button or something like that and Internet Explorer started popping up during live jams. That was pretty annoying, had to delete Internet Explorer after that :)

Really keen on getting a Moog delay, but for that money, maybe I can get a nice analog tape delay? Pretty clueless when it comes to analog delays :oops:

imo "meh" to tape delays... very heavy maintanence... i read there's a part that dies in those Roland units and once it's gone it's gone and the unit is dead. good luck taking those fuckers to gigs as well! jesus.

Moog delay is analogue, it uses a thing called a bucket brigade chip, very smooth and lush... you can get a pedal with the same chip for much cheaper, although it will be a bit noisier. http://www.analoguehaven.com/malekko/ekko616/

Gonna plug this strymon pedal in... i love mine. I have a couple delay pedals and many computer emulations... but this is my favorite by far. There are a couple comparison videos on youtube...

i love this juno demo... its instant aging and has a great texture.


the sound on sound mode is my favorite and where i get the most use. listen to how it does a tape loop and degrades over time. mind melting amazing.

TAL Delays get my vote too. They're amazing, though you can get some nice results from Ableton's Filter Delay.

Some of these old obscure delay pedals are cool. I scored this thing for like $50, including the box and power supply. Good luck getting it exactly in time, and the delay times aren't very long, but for runaway feedback it's the biz. Also makes a nice short reverb.

I have this as well, which although digital, doesn't sound like it. Again, wicked pitch warping effects when you tweak the delay time knob or "mode" knob. Also, more delay time than the DOD above.
