Hey nauts, fellow travelers in the musical realm,
I’m looking for a real, gritty, lo-fi, haunting (but not nasty) delay. I’m aware of the other delay threads, but since my need is quite specific, I figured I’d dare to post this on its own.
I’d like it to have -
Filters on the tail - high pass and low pass. I’m ok with not both operating at the same time, though that’d be awesome if they did. Like the Digitakt.
Lots of weird time settings. Synced delays are so 90’s. For me, at least
Full control over wet and dry, as in the wet mix being only the tail, not the source at all
Pitch control over wet signal.
Stereo. Ping pong. Or even better, control over levels in the stereo field. Prophet 12 four delay chain is just awesome in this regard.
LFO. One is enough. That can affect most parameters, though no one in particular is more important. I just want that dynamic that modulation brings to fx.
Character - I’m with Chase Bliss. If they had a stereo delay, I wouldn’t post this. But they don’t, and I need one.
I’ve had Meris Polymoon. Great, but not enough going on in the character, lo-fi, grit and noise department. I’ve eyed BIM and considering it. The Tonal Recall is kind of along the lines of what I’m going for, but again, I need stereo (and it’s touchy with line input levels in general). I’m not into Strymon. Too clean. I’ve tried the Volante and Timeline. Don’t like them. I used to have a MiniFooger Delay, which had the right vibe but not enough dirt and features going. The MoogerFooger had the right idea, but also too clean, too polite in the grit department.
So … where do we go from here?
