5 Simple Delay Stacking Tricks 

Ha, yep. Got it straight from Marty McFly

Thank you for the kind words! And yes that's exactly the route I intend on continuing on. I'm a bit more interested in exploring and sharing the application of the equipment rather than focusing on the equipment itself. I try to use no frills industry standard equipment for the most part for that reason. Thanks again for the support. More to come!

@@MichaelBanfieldGuitar Always thought provoking and inspirational content coming from you. Really appreciate the time you put into your work here, we all benefit !

I agree with the statement above. Most channels are just mindless gear carousels, flashy this, flashy that, with some hyperactive guy barking affiliate links and shredding at 200 miles per hour. Your content and your laid back approach to giving useful and musical tips is the real magic! Your playing is very tasteful too. If you feel like it, how about a video on semi hollows? :)

I second that. Much appreciated!

Ha! I looked it up, looks like a lovely city too. Glad you liked the video and thanks for commenting

With Boss pedals.

I'd love to do a video on that, it's now on the list!

Glad you think so!

Yeah! Thanks for mentioning the Nova delay that looks like a good one

Glad you like it. Thank you!

Great to hear. I'd love to get hold of a DD-200 at some point

Thank you!

very interesting mon. I be looking into this. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing, reverse into a modulated delay sounds like it’d be really interesting. Must remember to try that, thanks!

Catalin Bread Belle Epoch Deluxe into three delays options in my oceans 12 Two delay verbs and one reverse delays which also does reverse reverb as options.

Glad you liked it. Welcome to the wonderful world of polyrhythms! Beware, they have the potential to drive you insane...

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you like them. Have fun building that pedal collection!

@@MichaelBanfieldGuitar I need therapy at this point!

Yes, I'll have to do that at some point!

Hey thanks! I don't think I did actually, or if I did have the amps spring reverb on it would have been very minimal. I didn't think it needed it in the end because of the way I was playing but reverb can definitely help mask the repeats into more of a wash if you need it.

@@MichaelBanfieldGuitar Thanks for the attention and the answer

Not sure. But I know I can always seem to find room for just one more…

Yeah! I think I’ll do an advanced delay stacking video with some of this stuff. Thanks!

@@MichaelBanfieldGuitar thanks, Syd Barrett used two echo units stacked to get longer delays and also layered slap back delays you can make a YT lesson about. Listen to pink floyd first album with Syd Barrett and the guitar solo for See Emily Play is using 2 echo units to get those multiple rhythmic stacked slap back reflections effects. Also Robert Fripp made solo albums with Brian Eno uses Sound on sound delays if you have a fender amplifier that has 4 input jacks for 2 channels you can connect the delay pedals to the different fender input jacks to create sound and sound delays to get those Fripptronics sound on sound which you can do a YT lesson about.

Good work soldier

Both the old and new DL4 should be able to do the classic 1/4 + dotted 1/8 delay. Stereo delay mode on the old one (can be run in mono) and the new one has a dedicated dual delay mode that looks promising. I’m not that familiar with the DL4 to be honest but make sure you explore it fully before ditching it, or consider adding another delay pedal with tap tempo along side it, a setup like that could do pretty much anything! Have fun

Nope, good question. It's personal preference as far as I'm concerned. I tend to prefer longer into shorter most of the time. Try both and see which you prefer, that's what I do anyway.

I wouldn’t feel too bad, those multi function delay pedals have so many modes and hidden features it’s easy to forget a few things and just stick to the main controls, a lot of the time that’s all you need anyway.

@@MichaelBanfieldGuitar Thanks!

The order of the pedals is always going from right to left here. The order does change the sound a little but it's totally personal preference if you ask me, just try both and pick your favourite.

I think the 2nd one, what I’d call a classic rhythmic dual delay is the closest for that. Although it’s only an approximation of the type of delay sound he’s known for, so you can tweak it to your hearts content.

Ah thanks, it’s on my list to do a video on it, it’s a ‘75. It has its quirks but it’s one of my favourites

@@MichaelBanfieldGuitar I had one on loan for a few months back in the 1980's, great guitar, those Fender humbuckers are fantastic. The owner didn’t want to sell it, unfortunate for me, but wise decision..

I know I’ve accumulated more than I really need over the years. I’d still like to get hold of the DD5 and DD6 for the full set at some point though…

A '70's Tele Deluxe apparently.

It's a 70's Tele Deluxe. I'll probably do a video on it at some point soon as I'm getting quite a few comments about it.

​@@MichaelBanfieldGuitar You should do a video of all your guitars, and maybe comment on ones that you wish you still had. Pretty much all guitarists regret getting rid of at least one, lol.

I know, I know... It does get pretty involved pretty quickly with dual delay even with simpler setups. Hope it's still useful though. thanks for commenting.

@@MichaelBanfieldGuitar your vids are always helpful and inspiring. Just yanking your chain!
