“I’ve recently started learning more about delay sounds and using it (hopefully) more effectively (pun intended) in my band. I’ve always used a Boss DD-3 and set it to a medium delay and that would sort of ‘do’ for any song! But now I’m trying to get the right times/sounds for various songs, having added another Boss delay pedal, which then creates a bit of an issue with endless bending down between songs. MIDI scares me to death, as does any complicated pedal, so I’m at the crossroads (fell down on my knees…).”
