Delay block / tab” for an overview of the Vocal

Tips and tricks for working
with the Guitar Delay effect
– There are benefits to using the same Delay
division for both guitar and vocal effects. You
can sync up the “taps” of the echoes on both
signals and create some very interesting ef-
fects.
– With the above in mind, using similar – but dif-
ferent – Delay divisions can also be very ef-
fective. For example, try ¼ note on your Vocal
and 1/8 note on the Guitar.
– “Slap” echo is a very common guitar setting
for classic country music sounds.
– Using Delay effectively can make a very sim-
ply played guitar passage sound much more
complex. “The Edge” from U2 makes heavy
use of Delay.
– Using Delay briefly can highlight a portion of
a song quite effectively. Listen to “Tangerine”
by Moist. In the verses, they use a brief “Ping
Pong” type delay to expand a mono guitar to
the stereo field. (0:42 into the video)
