This morning I wanted to do some research on the top best selling delay pedals. For this I thought I would pick three merchants that sell delay pedals and sort by Best Selling to get a list. I was confident that I would see some of the basic names, but I was surprised by some of the results. For each merchant I took their Top 10 Best Selling Delay Pedals and listed them below. I want to stress that these are the top *best selling* not necessarily the top *best* delays. Some of these are probably best selling due to price vs. tone and capability. Either way it’s interesting to see what people are buying.

I was expecting to see the Boss DD-3 and DD-7 to be in the lists, but I was surprised to not see Electro-Harmonix all over these lists. Likewise, I was surprised to see the Fulltone tape delay in there. Additionally, some of the other pedals (DeltaLab, Behringer and Rogeu) might need a closer look, since they are in these lists. I would say the MXR Carbon Copy is clearly the winner for best selling delay. Why don’t I own one???? Hmmm, I better get on it.
Let me know what you think of these lists!

Hey — I have to think the “Pedal People” aren’t as out of our brains as it would seem by our spending habits. I’m on the side that a delay is an integral part of a full guitar sound-esp. for recording. These lists seem to be a cross between price & sound. Although real tape delays might go against that thought($800/$1000 & up for a spinning piece of tape?). I’m surprised the Jamman/Deay isn’t on there. (Again) I like the T-REX Replay Box I won here. The Strymon & the Eventide are on my wish list. We had an Echoplex back in the day but lost it out of our storage unit(Public Scorage SUX!!) Thanks –JB
