How To Use Delay On Acoustic Guitar 

Great presentation, brother. Well organized, informative, pleasant to view. Kudos and thanks

Those chords are so pretty with the delay. Thanks once again for the info Chris! Love the sounds produced with that pedal.

Wasted 9 minutes to finally get to some useful info!!!! Starts at 9:20. Good Lord!!!!

Delay , Chorus , Reverb , Compression , Light Gauge Strings , Tuned To Key Of D ..... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼☮️🎆

Excellent demo vid. I am currently in the market for some pedals and this video couldn't come at a better time. Thanks, Chris.

Very thorough, very helpful. Thanks!

Thanks Chris. I was looking for a link to that pedal or the one you use. You might even have it on your Pelican channel. And I'm looking for that 2 foot pedal looper also. Thanks

Can you do a video on using reverb with an acoustic guitar?

Thank you brother :)

Love it 🤙

I was with you right up until you said Strymon. I have tried their products with unacceptable results. Sure, you can dial in the exact sound you desire in your bedroom or studio. And if that's your solo musical realm, you're all set. The problems begin when you take ANY Strymon pedal, or for that matter, ANY other IR based modeling device out into the gigging world. EVERY venue is vastly different from others when it comes to room acoustics, resonant frequencies, and reflective surfaces near the stage. On the fly pedal adjustments are ALWAYS needed from room to room. With Strymon pedals, and all other IR modeling gear, you have little or no immediate, hands on access to your tone and sound while you're on stage performing. To get adequate control, you must connect a laptop and get neck deep into the software. NO THANKS! That's a deal breaker for me EVERY time. For quick and complete control of my sound while I'm performing, I use mostly analog effects with a few digital pedals. In general, if I see a USB port on a pedal, I'm not interested.

How about the Strymon Flint for acoustic, Chris? Multiple reverb and tremolo settings seem like a natural choice.

Too much talk..

If you want to sound like a 90s pub guitarist, be my guest

18 minutes and he doesn't say why this should be different than "how to use delay on electric guitar"

Fast forward 7 minutes to even get close to any guitar playing

Seriously, how bout you get to the demonstration and stop talking!

Great video on a less-covered topic. What you really need to add is a camera angle and split screen that shows your pedal settings as you change them. Thanks!

I never knew that delay can produce the echo I wanted on my acoustic guitar. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks alot ❤😮😊🎉

Love most all your videos but really enjoyed this one! As a beginner (whose been trying to learn guitar but adulting and life keeps getting in the way) this was really helpful to hear the differences and what might be possible one day on my Taylor. Thank you guys for the awesome content you put out. I watch (or try to) them all and have learned so much! Thank you! PS. And I think there is a real need for more of this pretty basic stuff for a large audience of folks trying to learn but don't have much time. DO MORE for we simpletons please and thank you!

wow...$379 for that delay unit. yikes.

Recently bought an LR Baggs Align Series Delay (tailored for Acoustic) Would it be possible to get some more interesting sounds on this one?

If you are thinking of covering other effects pedals, loop pedals would be good

My Johnny Cash comes alive with effects... Especially in drop D !

The delay cuts immediately when turned off, if your playing live this is a noticeable problem ,, !

Good video, but would be far better if you were showing how you set the pedal, that's a pity.

Great, but please focus on the sound of the effects, waaaayyyy too much talking

Great video! Was going to get that K&K transducer pickup for my acoustic and was wondering if I could use my electric guitar effects pedals?

Talk less, play more.

.. Delays are great ...the problem is you need a different delay setting for , rhythm , solo's ... various tunes ...and personally I have enough going on , on stage ...to be dealing with delay tap dancing ...but good video

I've been doing this for years I have two tube amplifiers one of em is a homemade echosonic amp that has a 12au7 preamp tube that me and my grandpa built and my other tube amp is a Gibson ga5 LP reissue tube amp that has a 12au7 preamp tube I don't like SS amps At all I use these amps with my homemade electric acoustic guitar that has a undersaddle pickup my grandpa built completely from scratch it's a unique shaped guitar I play country rockabilly and bluegrass and blues I use classic s strings there acoustic flatwounds strings but yeah that's my whole rig

Thank you so much for this! These are exactly the kind of videos I enjoy (need). 😉

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone...

he's not wrong...

Whats the pedal?

blah blah blah, i dont own el capitan, blah blah

Can’t wait for the fuzz video

Hey Chris, I always enjoy your videos. I have a RU-vid channel and I definitely need to upgrade the quality of video and audio. What kind of camera do you use and what kind of mic are you using? I would appreciate your input. Thanks and keep up the good work

dude you should have you playing with delay right at start of video to hook your viewers - having the ident and telling people to visit store gives zero value to people especially those new to your channel- its’ a long wait for the interesting part

Mind me asking which brand of guitar your playing? Thanks.

Gotta have Tap Tempo on my Delays. I do: classic rock, funk/r&b, pop, reggae & dub. I use a Boss DD-500 . . . it does Every Delay-sound on the planet. I also us a Big Sky with my Acoustic too. Nice stuff here Chris. Always informative. oNe LovE from NYC

Im a total noob in effects - how do you convert an acoustic guitar to be compatible with pedals and amps to begin with -do we need a pickup?

Thanks again Chris. I keep buying effects and have no idea how to use them. I have a Fishman Loudbox Artist with effects. Now I’ll play with them intelligently. (I hope)

Great video! Just recently got into delay, learning all the time. I have a Timeline and a RE 202. Using them on vocals too.

Nice options!! What model Taylor is that? It sounds wonderful!

exactly the kind of video I was looking for, but I would want to see the pedal as well and see what you are tweaking along the way

I would love to see you demo some acoustic effects that add more grit.

Excellent demonstration and advice, your explanation regarding electric guitar amps and acoustic amps was very clear also.

Beautiful! Great! But so you have connected the guitar Direct into delay pedal and the output of the pedal Direct into the guitar input of the ampli?

I would add if you are trying to do rhythmic play, dotted 8 helps. Make sure your delay has a mix or blend knob. Thanks for the video

Great demo, but it would have been nice if there was a second camera pointing down to the pedal so we could see what you are changing.

He could be Andy McKee's brother!

J'utilise une strymon Cloudburst pour mon acoustique guitare. Me conseillez-vous vous aussi de rajouter une pedale Delay ,ou n'est ce pas nécessaire !!! Merci, ke bonjour de France.

Think about U2 . They sound like a 6 man band

Time to come with the reverb video! Loved this!

Does it make sense for ONE player using delay while other does not?(2 players)

Are you Andy's brother

Love Alamo music center

Really good stuff

Good video-p

Perfect timing. I’ve just been considering adding delay to my acoustic . Just not sure if this will be too much in a live worship setting when you have keys and electric guitar using effects too. ?!

Thanks Chris I've been looking for a vid like this for awhile. I've been using pedals for long time. Playing Tak 12 for P&W team. Also some gospel group music. Presently I run Pigtronics compression (first pedal ever) Boss reverb, tremelo, chorus, blues driver. Typically run through the board at church. Pit band work with electrics and acoustic guitars all run through the same pedal set up, and an AC15 and Fender Acoustisonic. Like you from time to time I'm with out my key board and bass player. It changes what we do to help the singers sound good. Which is my job. Compression was my first pedal. It really helped to "squeeze" the 12 string and sustain better. Thanks for the vid!
