RE: delay time

["Rainer Thelonius Balthasar Straschill" <rs@moinlabs.de>]

Do you want a delay that stays in the same pitch (i.e. the end of the delay
contents get discarded or silence gets added when you change the delay
time), or a tape-echo-style varispeed effect?

For type 1, both my TC Electronics Fireworx and D2 keep relatively clean
when changing delay times (realtively means they will introduce slight
artifacts (clicks in the Fireworx, high-pitched noise in the D2) reacting 
to
ultra-weird delay-time changes. But if you do "normal" things, they work
well.

For the varispeed effect, I enjoy both the digitech RDS 2001 (will work 
with
the entire PDS/RDS series, I guess) and Line 6's DL4.
