Delay Pedal

Post by WORSHIP_KEYS »

My Ne5 doesn't have 1/8d delay, which is my favorite. Can someone tell me what a good cheap delay Pedal that does 1/8d so I can use it on my Nord? Thanks!

Hi
Don't know how cheap you are looking for. Anyway, the Zoom ms-70cdr is a stereo multistomp pedal that looks kind of handy.
Especially delay-effects is nice to have in stereo so you can ping-pong it. Haven’t tried the pedal myself though!

The concept of 1/8d is related to a Tempo and is particularly relevant when you have to sync, but NE6d doesn't support an external MIDI Clock, so you can get that 1/8d by simply setting the tempo not to the song one but 1/2 faster (e.g. if song is 120 set it to 180, i.e. as if you are adding the dot to the whole tempo)

If you instead need to sync with an external MIDI clock you need an effect pedal that can do that i.e. one which has a MIDI IN and able to listen to MIDI Clock

If you can set the requested "1/8d" manually... I used the BOSS DD-8 which offers Stereo-In and -Out and was very happy with its sound and feature onstage. As a simple stompbox it gives me the right Delay for Brass and Lead Sounds per button-press. Never failed - never troubles- lots of possibilities... The Stereo-Option avaid any conflict with my signal routing and the price is quite okay. To be honest, today the Delay-Options in the NS4 are enough for my purposes...
... onstage since '78 on the endless (?) hunt for the perfect stage keyboard...
