Hey everyone-
I'm looking for a long (between 5-30 seconds, depending on
the situation) stereo (pan/pingpong) delay. The catch is, I need it to
attenuate some highs, degrade, or add some warmth and warble. I also need
the delay time and feedback level to be adjustable in real time, with a
physical knob or with MIDI control.
Basically I'm looking to replicate the old Frippertronics
setup. Using a digital delay for this sounds too cold and inorganic to me
(sorry for the cliche). I'll be using a Memory Lane for a shorter, modulated
delay, and then using the long pingpong delay as a looper, of sorts.
Anyone know of a rackmount unit or pedal that can do this?
I know the DD-20 has enough delay time, but there's no filtering or EQ
adjustments in pingpong mode. I don’t have much experience with
rack delays, so I’m not really sure what’s out there. Also it
would be great if I could bypass the delay input while still retaining the
feedback (so I would be able to make a "loop", then play over it without
adding to it). I have a nice chain of VST plugins that do exactly what I
want, but I don't like the stability, fragility, and latency issues that come
with using a laptop live (for my application).
Ideas?
Thanks,
Jesse
