Hi All,

I am interested to know if Edge uses dual delay or single delay on " You are the best thing...." and delay time ?

What are your considerations ?


Agostino
 
well this board is kinda inactive right now and i haven't really listened to the new songs all that much, sorry that i can't really help
 
There's a lot of tutorials on YouTube for the song, most of them go into what type of delays to use
 
My guess would be either 2 delays in series or maybe even 3 like Beautiful day 'touch me' part
It's a great little part that floats nicely with the delay. Maybe I will do a clip soon :hyper:
 
BB Mac maybe you are right, it would be 2 delays in series but i have doubts, because i tried with 1 delay around 385 ms and the sound seems to be really convincing.
what is your comment about the 2 delays in this song ?

About beautiful day on the " touch me " part, my consideration is that I hear only 1 delay and this from the 360 tour.

Before they could hear 3 delays on this part

Hello to You BB Mac,

with 2 delays the sound is even more convincing, can you tell me if the delays are set in serial or parallel mode and which delay times you used ?

hi Agostino sorry for late reply

here is a clip with 2 delays not sure of the times as i used 2 pedals
for quickness on my pedalboard.
yes i think he changes it up a bit like you mention B-Day from 360 tour

Hi the delays are in series. It was 2 delay pedals I used So not sure of the times. Pedals were a Boss
DM-2 and DD3 .I can send a clip.of each delay pedal
And you could match it up with your delay unit.
