I'm currently wanting to play some modern christian contemporary music at my church maybe once a month and it has become very evident that the music requires a delay effect similar to something The Edge from U2 would do.  I'm really thinking I want an analog cascading type delay, however I also hear that delays work best with a effects loop.  I use a blues Jr amp so I really don't want to buy a new amp just so I have an effective delay pedal.  I'm using the amp clean and using a distortion pedal for most of my tones.  Does anybody have a good suggestion.  I was thinking of an MXR Carbon Copy since that was THE it pedal when I started playing 13 years ago.  If you think a digital pedal is better please explain why.

Re: Best Delay Pedal a amp with no Effects loop.

I tried several delay pedals and one of the only one I have tried that sounds ''real'' is the Carbon Copy. All the other ones sounded ''fake'' to me but, that's how I use a delay and it's a personal choice. I use the Carbon for ambience however, I use a DD3 or Line6 DL4 for slapback or anything else trippy. Best thing is to test them. I am fortunate enough to have a music store that has an 14day exchange policy. I took pedals home and tested them out and keep what I like.

Re: Best Delay Pedal a amp with no Effects loop.

if money/pedalboard real estate are not issues, the hughes and kettner replex is the best non-tape delay out there.  you also get reverb.  i sure as heck miss mine.  regret selling it big time.  I use the Alter Ego delay, love it... but the replex is king.

Re: Best Delay Pedal a amp with no Effects loop.

Real estate is the big problem.  I've got a little home made board that I wanna keep using and a couple of the pedals I'm already using take up a lot of room.  I like moving across the board in a line and not branch out in 2 rows since I'm already pretty bad with turning stuff off smoothly.

I use a tc flashback in front of a marshall class 5. It sounds great, especially on the tape setting. I just keep the repeats volume a little lower than usual to help it blend.

You should check out the Carl Martin Delayla, I love it for the Joe like delay in front of my Fender Blues Jr.
One of the better analogue delays, a sleeper although pricey

@AD3THREE, Real estate is the big problem? Why do you think so?
