Country slapback delay settings

Try 180ms and adjust the feedback etc from there. Just use your ears to what you like!

I use somewhere between about 120 and 180ms depending on tune and how I’m feeling.

slapback typically uses a very short, bright delay in the range of 40-120ms, high mix, little or no feedback and is located before the amp.

I find the typical country guitar sound is longer than a pure slap back in most cases. I used to use between 80 and 120ms which seems more like Rock n Roll and Rockabilly but tend to go at least 150ms these days.

All of the above is dead-on. I'd find an analog-style preset and start there. Brad Paisley is known to use a Way Huge Aqua Puss, which is an analog sound. EHX Memory Man is another.

As for grit, mod etc..... I'm still playing with those to 'tune' the delays. Still feeling out what does what and how they interact. Very cool, just going to take time.

What I've found recently that's been something of a revelation for me is the Low Cut/High Cut. I'll set the Low Cut to around 100Hz or sometimes up around 170'ish. I then turn the high cut all the way to the right and experiment with dialing that down. It has a profound effect on how prominent the repeats are and their overall timbre.

HTH.

Mines at 125ms zero feedback no modulation and just enough mix for it to be heard but not as loud as the original. It’s in the normal delay slot.
