Wah Pedal:
Rock back and forth and your delays will talk back to you. Or leave it
in one position as a narrow band frequency boost, sweeping from
extremely “lo-fi” to a thin, “transistor radio” effect.
Equalizer:
Shift the tone of the delays anywhere you want within the available
frequencies of the EQ. Make them dark, bright, or boost one band while
cutting all others for a wah-like filter.
Compressor:
Using a compressor in the loop will polish up the delays, and even
them out. When set to the BBD, this will create a more tape-like quality.
When set to digital, it will sound more like the earlier digital delays that
were working within a much smaller bandwidth.
Pitch Shifter:
Each pass through the pitch shifter will step the delays through com-
pounded pitch shifting for very unique but possibly atonal results,
depending on the song.
Another Delay Pedal:
You can create multi-tap delays, or use a slap back delay in conjunction
with longer delays for different rhythmic textures.
Reverb:
You can have reverb on your delays, but not cluttering up your dry sig-
nal. You can also apply a 50-150ms pre-delay to your reverb this way, for
a cleaner, more unobtrusive reverb sound.
