Changing delay time in between songs

[cheddatom]

looping vocals sounds fun!

 

Yeh are the switches board-mounted? That would explain half the problems and would be a pretty easy fix.

Yea they are. The easy fix is to just get different momentary switches and run a couple leads to the board instead. Pretty much fixes any issues.

A pedal that would make sense to have incorporated into the guitar is the delay pedal surely? For ease of changing.

 

problem is you'd usually put a delay pedal last in the chain, though in the guitar itd probs be first.

Sometimes I really like having a delay before phaser...a la Mike Einziger of Incubus in a few songs (Warning for example). I don't think I'd want it in a guitar...but still.

I don't necessarily want delay at the start of my chain, but having the controls built into the guitar would be great. A little tap tempo button on your top horn for starters.

yeh i've done the same thing with my zoom pedal.

Delay before distortion can be really cool.

+1 I really like the way the notes all kind of blend together which allows for some pretty cool ambient sounding stuff. Although delay in an effects loop is generally a little more useable.

 

As for having a delay built into a guitar. that would be utterly pointless, especially having a tap tempo button ON the guitar because you wouldnt actually be able to play properly AND tap the tempo button...

it takes 2 seconds to tap the tempo. I'd like it anyway.

Josh Farro in Paramore uses the tap button on the giga delay. i dont think it can store times in patches, but a tap button would be the way to go. if it can do different note values its awesome

I suppose in terms of doing glitchy time changes it might be pretty cool, but in terms of being able to practically tap out the tempo of a song, pre or mid song, which would require more than two taps, it's useless.

 

Even then though, why fix what isn't broken and tap with your feet?

[cheddatom]

my idea was to have a tap tempo button, a button to trigger the input, and a knob for feedback. I thought it'd be fun. I prefer a tap tempo button to a rate knob (unless i'm just making weird sounds). The main point of the whole thing was to have a delay that was constantly "on" but to just feed it from my guitar whenever I wanted by pressing a button.
