Murky Repeats

Loads of options and fun to be had with this delay pedal. I like to hold down the rubberneck footswitch to make it sound like my guitar has been blasted with a slow mo laser gun, or something along those lines. It also creates really cool, gritty repeats with the gain knob turned up.

Probably the best analog delay stompbox

There are a surprising number of features packed in for an analog delay, and what's cool is that they all seem tailored to play to the strengths of analog delay in particular. The hold functions make it fairly simple to achieve some of the staple oscillation and feedback effects that you used to have to bend down and start turning knobs to achieve... but you can still bend down and turn the knobs if you want to, so nothing is lost and it doesn't feel gimmicky like some analog-emulating digital effects can. As others have said, using long delay repeats does seem a bit less useful, maybe there's a reason most analog delays don't feature this; still, it's not like this detracts anything, so I don't see why it should knock any points off. If you want super-clean, 1 second+ repeats, you're looking for a digital delay. This pedal isn't that, nor is it meant to be.

I like the idea of the effects loop, although I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of the sounds you could design using that feature. I put my flanger in there sometimes and it sounds pretty great. Haven't tried it, but pitch-shifting seems like it could be pretty cool in the loop.

Other great additions include a very usable modulation effect (which the Tempo Hold uses to create modulated feedback), and a Tone control, which is not unique to this pedal, but is something I find sorely missing from many delays nonetheless. Being able to control the tone of your repeats is great for lo-fi sounds.

If you're a fan of bucket-brigade style analog delay, this really won't leave you wanting for much.

Cool, but...

This thing kicks ass - on paper at least. 1,5 seconds or so of analog delay, the Rubberneck function (basically delay time doubled or halved at the press of a switch), eq on repeats, a handy switch for triplets, depth and speed of modulation completely customisable and so on. But after a little while I started finding some flaws: the effective usable delay time is roughly 800ms, after that it will start introducing noise and artefacts. Still a decent delay time, but you have to remember not to use the Time knob to its full extent. Modulation can be anything but subtle, and at higher delay times it will behave unpredictably. The optional Digitech footswitch will be assigned to modulation on/off, to the rubberneck function and self oscillation (or a decrease in repeats); both these functions are also available by holding down "effect on" for the Rubberneck and "tempo" for the feedback thing. Too bad you can't do both on the external footswitch, which is basically a must since the rubberneck function will increase repeats and, should you not increase repeats at the same time, you'll basically "run out" of repeats before the effect can be heard. All in all it's an interesting pedal, but I swapped it for a more basic Memory Man Deluxe and never looked back.

One of the best analog delays ever put out

I've had the Rubberneck Delay for almost two years and it is an ambient guitarists wet dream. An analog delay that goes up to 1 second with an effects loop and pitch shifting capabilities and knobs to fully control oscillation and pitchshifting? Count me in. This thing can be a faux reverb and it can even act as a modulation pedal if you use minimal settings on the time and repeats. Also having a gain knob really helps give my repeats more weight and punch, so that's cool too. I recommend it to anyone looking for an experimental analog delay for their setup.

Lord of analog dilays

I like this one very much because of its versatile settings - so you can have very good sound. Tone/Gain controls to have warm or more cold repeats, modulation, temp ratio and rubbernecking/regenning. Which is not very cool - this power consumption. It is more than 100 mA - this is so unusual for analog device and to my opinion is not user friendly for pedal board, as requires more specific power supply/brick

This pedal is a beast!

I love this pedal! Super versatile and super fun with the regen and ruberneck features. You can go from a simple rockabilly slapback to crazy psychedelic delays, especially if you like modulation on your repeats, and there's also an effects loop in it, so you have literally countless options to experiment with your sounds. It's not just a delay pedal, it can open up new dimensions of songwriting. A little "con" for me is it sounds a little bit dark for my taste, but that's what you can expect from an analog delay.

Absolutely amazing.

This is quite literally the best analog delay you can get your hands on. What are you waiting for? Buy it!

From Gear Setup

Packed with features

Tap tempo buttton, subdivisions switch, self-oscillation in a button, max delay time of over 1 second... Seems all you can need...
