Danelectro Back Talk vs Back Talk reissue - reverse delay comparison! 

I’ve always thought this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful pedals ever made.

You are an absolute legend for doing this. Been wanting to hear a decent comparison for so long.

The incidental sounds on the old one make it really special. All the weird gltiching, warbles, the way it shifts time, the smear of the repeats. It's all very inspiring in that late 90s "this technology can barely handle what we are asking of it" kinda way. There is a special charm to a lot of gear of that age as ambition often was greater than what tech could provide. The new one is good, but the nuances of the old one that make it special just arent there. It's less inspiring as, well, it does what it is supposed to do (reverse delay sounds) with more precision. That isnt necessarily what you want out of a pedal like this. Would people notice live? No idea. Context is king. Is this really a pedal a lot of people would use in a live context or is it just a studio inspiration machine?

Great pedal but it’s surreal to see them charging $285 CAD for the new version In the 90s Danelectro we’re the cheap brand lol

One of my favorite pedal ever! I think the old one acts/sounds ever so slightly better but the enclosure of the reissue makes it that much more desirable to me. Also congrats on 5k, well deserved 🎉

Congratulations on 5k!!!

I didn't know about this pedal and now it's on my shopping list... Thanks for sharing!

great job!

great demo ! They sound pretty decent but the prices are a little but crazy for what they are. My favorite reverse is still on the SA nemesis.

I had of the original ones in the mid 2000s. I sold it when they got really collectable.

I have the original in mint condition with the box, its a masterpiece i would never sell. Mind u its a one trick pony, but what a pony it is.

Love this sound though it's weird playing guitar and nothing coming out as you hit the string. Great video as always. I use my Digitech Obscura which has a reserve delay.

The original sounds way better but I’ll save it for recording, the re issue frees up real estate in my board.

Beyond my needs, but they both sound good if you can use them.

I've been interested in this one for quite a while. I wonder how different it sounds compared to the reverse settings on my DigiTech Obscura, Bananana Effects Aurora, or EHX Canyon? I do love my three Danelectro dirt pedals from this series, so I might just need to get this one as well. Great demo, as always!

If I play a reverse delay into another reverse delay, will the sound just be normal? 🤪

I can't say I hear much of a difference between the two (beyond the obvious mix knob issue you showed) but what a great sounding demo

The older version sounds more organic than the reissue. Nobody in any audience, anywhere, is going to be able to tell the difference.
