How to choose the best delay/echo pedals

Tape/Analog Emulation

EHX's signature is that warm, saturated, slightly unstable tone - it's a deliberate design choice, not a flaw. It's the 'tape wobble' and 'wow' that gives their delays that unique character, lending a vintage feel even on digital models.

Modulation Options

Many EHX delays offer modulation - chorus, vibrato, even filter sweeps - that take the echo beyond a simple repetition. This is crucial for adding movement and interest, especially when layering with other effects.

Build Quality & Reliability

Older EHX pedals had a reputation for...quirks. While modern construction is significantly improved, budget models still might feel a little less robust than Stryen or Eventide. Pay attention to the footswitch and knobs - those are common failure points.

Versatility vs. Specialization

EHX delays range from the incredibly versatile Holy Grail to the more focused Memory Man. Consider what you really need - a jack-of-all-trades or a specialist for a specific sound?

Noise Floor

Let's be honest, these aren't the quietest delays on the market. That tape saturation adds a little hiss, especially at longer delay times. It's part of the charm for some, a dealbreaker for others.

Buying guide

Alright, let's talk Electro HarmonIX delays. They've been a staple in guitar rigs for decades, and for good reason - that distinct, sometimes chaotic, but always character-laden echo is instantly recognizable. EHX isn't about pristine, surgical delay like some of those digital boxes; they're about vibe, about adding grit and personality. Whether you're chasing a dub reggae shimmer or a lo-fi, tape-worn ambience, EHX has something that can get you there, often in a way no one else can.

Don't go in expecting a sterile, clinical delay. EHX is about character. The newer models are generally more reliable than their vintage counterparts, but you're still paying for that vintage vibe, which means accepting a slightly higher noise floor and potential for occasional oddities.

Spend a bit more for the pedals with true bypass - it'll keep your signal cleaner when the delay is off. And if you're using high-gain amps, be mindful of the noise - a noise gate might be your friend.

Questions

Are Electro Harmonix delays true analog?

Most aren't strictly analog. They're digital delays emulating analog tape or bucket brigade circuits. That's why they have that characteristic warmth and saturation, even though they're ultimately digital.

Which EHX delay is best for clean, pristine repeats?

Honestly, that's not really their forte. The Holy Grail is probably the closest you'll get, but even it has a touch of warmth. If pristine repeats are your priority, look elsewhere.

I've heard EHX pedals can be noisy. Is this a big problem?

It can be, especially with longer delay times and higher gain settings. A noise gate can help, or try lowering the repeats or level controls. It's a trade-off for that vintage vibe.

Are the newer EHX pedals as reliable as other brands?

Modern EHX pedals are much improved, but budget models can still feel a little less robust. The higher-end ones are generally solid, but always good to check online forums for user experiences.

Can I use an EHX delay with a bass guitar?

Absolutely! Many EHX delays work great with bass. Just be mindful of the low-end thump and make sure the delay times aren't too short, or you'll get a muddy mess. Experiment with the tone controls to find the sweet spot.
