Need help in setting up a delay effect from the pros!

Mnwarrior26 · February 9, 2019 at 8:15 PM

I've played guitar a long time.. but never been a big effects guy. having trouble getting to this one. Looking to do a cover of one of my favorite bands songs and it's a very distinguished delay. I know Matt uses the Line 6 DL4 on I believe.. sweep echo. I've included a YouTube link to the song.

If anyone can help me dial it in I'd be entirely grateful.

Thanks!

Wow thank you! Only thing I did was turn chorus down a smidge. It's awesome!

Glad that you like it.

It's not perfect I think, but quite similar.

I can not replicate my TC Electronics dynamic delay, but after years of tweaking i have learned to like the Kemper delay!

I feel like a flange effect would make it exactly the same. But I'm unaware how to make the delay have flange without affecting the dry signal.

Mnwarrior26 not sure I understand what you want - do you want the fx only on the tail of your playing (not during playing)?
If so have a look at the ducking setting.

Yeah the way I know it is the main tone is the dry signal and the effect is the wet signal. I only want the effect on the repeats (wet signal) and thanks for the tip

Try Putting a flanger after the delay and setting the Delay the mix of the flanger to a relatively low level. This will let some dry signal through the flanger so should keep some of the clarity of the main guitar while flanging the delay repeats. It isn't quite what you want to achieve but might be close enough.

Just had another thought which seems to work quite well. Try the flanger ideas with the ducking control set to a + number. That will duck the flanger out of the way on the initial attack but let it fade back in as the note decays.
