I admit, I didn't do a search first, so I apologize in advance! looking for settings for a good slapback style delay aka country twang etc. Never been a big effect guy, but alot of the stuff I'm playing lately requires some new ideas on my part I've also never been very good at dialing in delays, I have NEVER been real picky about this like some guys are. For leads, I would just put something on that I thought sounded good and that was it, never really spent much time with it. So I appreciate any help with this, thanks guys!

OK, slapback is pretty simple, it's really just a clean very short delay with no feedback (so only one echo or very few). There's actually a preset that comes with the Kemper called "Free Slap" you can use that as a starting point and go from there (just turn the browse knob while editing the delay to accesss the presets).

Set your time anywhere from 50-100ms, feedback at 0%, modulation off, mix relatively high. Boom.

Haha yea this was pretty stupid easy I totally forgot about the free slap preset setting... Minimal tweaks from there, very little if any feedback, simple. Thanks guys!

You can also use Tap Delay, if you want it to lock into more than one song - a 1/16 note usually works pretty well.

There's a rig by Gundy Keller that goes after the Stray Cats tone. Great slapback in it.
