Ultimate Boutique Guitar Delay Pedal Shootout: Moog, EchoCzar, MXR, Memory Man + More

Ultimate Boutique Guitar Delay Pedal Shootout: Moog, EchoCzar, MXR, Memory Man + More Video Clips. Duration : 9.93 Mins.


We recorded clips of 10 different high end delay pedals in Taylor Barefoot's Studio in Brighton Massachusetts to show off the different flavors of delays available. We recorded each pedal using an original 1959 Fender Stratocaster, Monster Cables, a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power II, and Alessandro Black 'n Tan amp, Royer 121 microphone, Shure SM-57 microphone, Shadow Hill Industries Gama 8 preamp and a Lynx Aurora 16 A/D convertor into Protools. Minimal digital limiting was added in Protools to boost the volumes. Pedals used w/purchase links: Moog MF-104 (amzn.to Empress Vintage Modified Superdelay (amzn.to Dr Scientist Sunny Day Delay (amzn.to Way Huge Aquapuss (amzn.to MXR Carbon Copy (amzn.to Toneczar Echoczar Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man Reissue (amzn.to Diamond Memory Lane Hughes and Kettner Replex (amzn.to Roland SRE-555 Each pass was recorded first with the bridge pickup, then the neck pickup. Taylor tried to play the same thing each time, but we didn't use any reamper or similar to get the exact same thing each time. We simply set each delay to a setting (with tasteful modulation) that we felt sounded 'good' for that pedal, as if we were trying to use it for a song that had this riff in the studio- a real world application. There are plenty of videos that go into the details of each pedal, look them up!
