Analog Delay VS Digital Delay

Post by VCO » Thu Mar 09, 2023 7:05 pm

Was wondering what those that have a moog fooger analog delay pedal think of it compared to a digital delay pedal like the strymon Tineline or the Eventide Timefactor. I have a Eventide space and was considering the Strymon Timeline
But also am considering getting an analog delay. I know the moog foogers are coveted and expensive even though the minifoogers would be more cost effective I would think. Was wondering if anyone has both analog and digital and what they think the pros and cons are Thanks

I only have an Eventide H9 Max which does have the algorithms of the Eventide Timefactor but not the knobs. I also have an Eventide Space and a Moog MF-104m. Just a quick side-step: I think the Eventide Rose is probably the closest to the the Moog MF-104m in sound and features. I’d also suggest an older digital pedal with some built-in character like the Digitech PDS-2000 or Digitech PDS-8000, both of which have some cool features and interesting sounds.

I don’t really find the H9 algorithms *that* stellar, but I think the Eventide pedals have slight sound to them. The 104m is really only worth it if you’ve got some CV to feed into it, be it from a CP-251, synthesizer with CV outs, or an expression pedal (perhaps a “expression LFO” device). Putting certain effects in the feedback loop is a huge bonus, I like to throw a 108m or the 102 in the path for very unique sound scapes.

Perhaps some of the Echosex pedals are also worth looking at? ….they have a great sound and a cheaper price than the mf104’s currently.

I’ve never heard of the Echosex pedals
