Re: king tubby style delays?

i love delays. so many of them sound so different. even a crap digital delay can add so much to a sound when used rhythmically.
for software: i have been using ohmboyz for years and love it. almost every param is LFOable, from 1/64th - 512 beats etc, really cool what u can do with it sometimes. over the last year ive been using bionicdelay a lot more, excellent sounding one there too. also analogic delay is a good one that simulates the tape delay in logic (similar to bionicdelay). i have seen ratshack reverb (copy of realistic reverb analog bbd delay, see below) and heard that one is pretty cool too, although ive only seen it for mac so havent tried it.. Augustus Loop is badass but more like tape looping type of plug than a simple delay. uber configurable though, this this can make insane noise. there are tons of others i cant think of right now, its all a matter of choice and opinion.
hardware: realistic reverb (actually a bbd delay from radioshack early 80s) is an awesome, circuitbendable (badass feedback/tonal mods, etc) delay that soudns great. the only thing is its relatively short compared to some (maxes out like 250-300 ms or so without mods) but i love mine. ive modded a couple and they are insane sounding; they end up becoming a sound generator as well as an effect with the feedback mods. also they make a great distortion by overdriving the 1/4" input. ibanez AD9 is a great analog delay pedal for guitar, really cool for noise too, have had a lotta fun with that one. also a moog delay my friend has, is an insanely cool delay, forget the model, but its high on my list of wanted hardware. my buddy has a real original echoplex from the 60s. this thing is one of the best sounding analog tape delays ive ever heard. it does wonders to anything, so crisp and nice! its a real tape delay where u can physically move the tape head on a short looped magnetic strip to get a 'real' delay. and it also has some kind of filter setup i believe, don't remember much about it honestly but its badass sounding and some of the greatest dub artists have used it. roland space echo is another one of the same that i would love to get a hardware copy of. i believe that someone is manufacturing a hardware copy of the original, or was recently. also there are a couple vst emulators of it too, but u will never match the sound of the real thing =]
king tubby was really inspiring my electronic stuff around 2000-2002 when i really started playing with delays a lot more on every element of my music, routing things differently, distorting and filtering the clean delays, etc. a lot of cool glitch has been made with interesting delay settings on stabby noise material =] have phun with it, dub it out and invent a new beat-style with old techniques
