Delay is probably the most versatile effect in any guitarist or engineers arsenal. This is because many other effects that we use like modulation are actually delay effects repackaged with another name. In this tutorial I’ll show you 10 different delay tricks most of which can be achieved using the simplest of delay plugins.
Delay and Echo effects have been around since the 50's in recording. From the first Echo Chambers to Tape Echos pioneered by players like Les Paul to the state of the art processors of today it’s hard to get away from this effect! But it’s not all about ‘echo’! Many different and surprising sounds can be produced from this time based effect. From Chorus to Reverb (thousands of tiny delays) there’s a lot you can do delay!
