    So looking for a medium range delay pedal,

    The 3 best ones seem to be
    t.c Electronic nova delay
    Boss DD-20
    EHX Memory Man

    I have heard great things about the Nova, but I havent heard too much about the other too. Anyone have these?

    I will be doing very experiemental music too.

    If you're after tripped out experimental sounds, the Memory Man w/ Hazarai is probably the best choice. Ive seen the videos etc and it can do some pretty weird things, a lot more than simple delay effects.

    The only thing about EHX is that in general the quality is average at best, and i've heard that's the case with the Hazarai also.

    TC do awesome quality delays, I havent used the Nova, but if its the same stuff as their rack effects, you're talking pristine, amazing sounding delays. I doubt the EH could touch it in that regard.

    The Eventide timefactor is probably the best delay pedal around at the moment. Its pricey, but a bit more affordable if you buy from the US. Feature set is unreal, all the fancy Eventide delays, looper, midi ins and outs. Looks like an amazing pedal.

    I have used and still use a few delay pedals...
    DD-3, Memory Man & Line6 DL4....the DL4 is the best....the DD-3 is the easiest to use!

    Just check out the hazarai. damn thats cool haha! Might have too much than what I would need tbh.

    as for the Tc, I think you might have sold me on that now. looking more for delay quality than features.

    Im gonna check out the Eventide now. If its expensive, must be good haha!

    Well, when you said experimental sounds, I thought the Hazarai would be more up your alley - its got all sorts of filters and changing the pitch of loops etc. Some really weird sounds in there.

    But if you're just after a quality delay, the Nova Delay would be excellent. The Eventide is probably too expensive and overkill for what you're looking for.

    Well not using them might be an over exaggeration on my part. I will check more into. their are some features when I like that the nova might not have. but definally more looking into it.

    even from america its too expensive.

    also, guess who just arrived ;)

    I have the EH Memory Man Deluxe which I love, BUT its an older design and limited in terms of delay length. Its a lovely warm sounding analogue delay but like some older pedals theres a volume drop when the pedal is engaged. You can get some nice chorus and vibrato sounds out of 'em too.

    dl4 it's what all the pros (and myself;)) use. DD6 is an amazing pedal too really easy to use and some kick ass features.

    But out of your list the nova is meant to be the best.
