I get asked ALL the time about what my favorite delay pedals are. As the years come and go, so do the delay pedals. I haven’t done a poll in a long time, and they’re super useful if you’re wondering about what’s hot.. and what’s not. So I assembled a list of current delay pedals on the market now. I know I missed a few. If you notice one missing, please shoot me an email or comment below and I’ll get it on the list.
For this poll, I’m allowing 3 choices, since it would be very hard to determine favorite. Some might just pick the most expensive (bucket list delay), or someone might pick something that covers a lot of sonic ground. I understand there could be multiple factors, so 3 picks should help with that.
If you want to go in more detail, please feel free to comment below. That information could be very useful for all the players out there!

You need to add the Digitech Hardwire DL-8 to the list. It’s like a Lexicon PCM42 in a pedal.

Hey — The T-Rex Relay Box all the way — A solid pedal w/a multitude of options(plus I won it here on 1 of your early giveaways). The DigiTech Obscura & the Source Audio Delay give me a bunch of options & they are a great loop of stackable delays. Thanks — JB

I own 3 Keeley Electronics DDL pedals that I love and use all the time. You don’t deem them fit for your list? Just your advertisers, hmmm? Delay Workstation, Multi-Echo, Mag Echo

The Ibanez AD mini is pretty nifty. I still love the Analogman ARDX20. F Pedals Echo Bandit is also pretty awesome, but totally “under the radar.” There are some great sounds in the Eventide Timefactor/H9 family, as well.

Can’t figure out how to vote. I’m going with the Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail. Top Notch!

Such a long list that’s not alphabetized, jeez! It could be done with just a few clicks I’m sure…

I’m a little surprised that my personal fave – the Boss DD-500 – has so few votes, but I guess that’s because it’s pricey and still quite new. It’s easily the most convenient I’ve tried though: it does everything that my RE-20 and DD-3 can do, and then some.

You should have definitely included the J Rockett Design Alien Echo, extremely dynamic, warm, and deep analog delay!

I tried huge range of delays and I finished my searches once I plugged my guitar into tech24 DLA

Alexander Pedals has several delays. As is MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe. Email me–I did some delay shopping years ago and have another way to organize the list
