    Anyone care to recommend a Delay pedal for an electrc guitar.

    Not really a good guitarist, more just messing around with it. Not looking to spend a great deal of money either, my amp already has a Chorus effect. Anyone recommend either a good Delay pedal or else something else that will produce multiple effects.

    Budget is under €200.

    If your budget goes too €200 then this should be more than enough to get a second hand delay. Boss are usually the best but i suppose every musician has a different opinion. I recently bought a multi effects set which was €475 but i'd been saving for a while. It's a Boss GT8 and the best i've ever had....it's got everything under the sun in there.

    If you're just a bedroom player then I would recommend something like a Zoom 707II. A brand new one would be around €150. They're not fantastic but it's an ok all rounder and wouldn't be suitable for gigging or recording

    Sorry about the triple posting, posted in originally in Music forum and someone suggested I move it to the Instruments Forum which I went to do but then mistakenly put it into the Theory Forum.
    Bit of a Frank Spencer moment.

    of course if u want to experiment a bit and want to just learn about effects and alternate route would be to buy a **** load of cheap pedals

    check out www.audiocity.ie for a range of behringer pedals that might interest u

    they are only on average 20 quid each

    If you aren't gigging, you might want to check out the Minicube (nobody's recommended that for ages) and trade in the amp you have. Minicube has chorus, delay, reverb and something else I can't remember - probably flange or something - and has output jacks for recording. The whole outfit is inside your budget, so with a trade-in ...

    But you're probably happy with the amp you have. Check out the Minicube, anyway - Christmas is coming.

    yah the cube is savage and i wouldn't be without one but i wouldn't recommend it if u wanted to explore the effects (in this case delay),cos although its fantastishly cool it is a fairly basic effects parameter setup.

    the effects on it do sound great tho in fairness

    Boss DD-6 is my weapon of choice. Expensive but full of tricks!

    As I say in all threads related to effects pedals, boutique pedals are the way forward. There's a lot of good boutique delay to be had.
