True Delay pedal

rafaelveggi
Hi how are you?

please I need help to find a very specific delay pedal

is there any delay pedal that plays only the delay part and not the notes I'm actually playing?

I'd like to try it on some reggae stuff in a way I play the bass with 2 outputs, one goes direct to bass amp and the other I'd put thru this delay pedal and then thru an octave up pedal and then through a harmonizer

so I get a boring automatic guitar player to follow me on the upbeat

any hints?
thanks a lot

I'm pretty sure the deep blue delay can do this with its mix knob.  I think it mixes from total dry to total delay signal.  I made one for a buddy but I can't remember if it goes all the way to 100 percent.

I think I might have done that with a Tc Flashback using the toneprint editor.

Sagan Delay seems to have a switch for it, but you gotta be brave to build it.

Also, maybe the circuit elders around here can point a mod on a design?

Any delay that has a mix knob will allow you to accomplish what you want. What it does is control how much of your clean singal goes through and mixes it with the delayed signal. You can turn the mix all the way so that you don't have any clean signal. The deep blue delay would be great for this, or the cave dweller. They are on the smaller end of the scale in board size and difficulty.

If you want to just eliminate the mix knob they can be done fairly easily by replacing the pot with a resistor, just let us know and the board can be adjusted.

Interesting idea. I would be curious to hear it

The deep blue Delay will need to be molded, the mix control does NOT do 100% dry to 100% wet, instead the wet is fixed and the delay is blended in from zero to about equal volume with the dry. You will need a dry cut switch, or to modify the blend pot to get 100% wet, no dry.

I also got this request. So I modded a neptune delay for someone (removing R4 http://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=17216). This mod turned out to be the same thing as what is done in the Sagan delay for dry kill. But actually there's still undelayed signal left, the dry sound is indeed gone, but there is still processed-but-undelayed signal left it seems.
Anybody has ideas to remove all undulated signal?

thanks

The Echo Base is a good delay and it has a switch to kill dry signal.
It has Tails, which can be useful in reggae/dub stuff.
I've built for a friend the Sabrotone vero layout and it's good to go.
Don't know if there's a better/smaller/different one in this forum or main site.
