The mini-pedal market has been booming the past few years, so we felt the time was right to offer some of our most legendary pedals in new mini housing! Ibanez is proud to announce the new MINI pedal Family, including the Analog Delay. Made in Japan, the ADMINI features two smaller knobs for Repeat and Blend, and a significantly larger Delay Time knob in the middle. The range of delay time is 20ms to 600ms. True bypass switching provides the shortest, most direct signal path, as well as the cleanest tone. 100% Analog Circuitry allows for the warmth of tone that players desire from analog delays. With the ADMINI, enjoy a warm, classic, and exceptionally clean delay, all while saving some space on your pedalboard.

It's safe to say that many guitarists are big fans of the classic Ibanez AD9 analog delay pedal. It's also clear to us that you get the same sonic goodness from the Ibanez Analog Delay Mini pedal. Take a look for yourself.

• 3 Delay Modes: Analog/Real Echo/Tape Echo:

The Wave pedal from Donner boasts a clear tone which can be perfectly applied to various types of music. For an analog delay, 20ms to 620ms delay time is enough to fulfill the standard needs. Wave is a mini pedal that carries Time, F.Back, and Level knobs which you can use to set the delay time, repeated notes, and delay volume respectively. It also includes a toggle switch that allows you to select between Normal and Mod models.

The Wave is a nice analog delay pedal at a very, very low price, and is good for a really natural analog sound. The clear tone of the Wave deplay pedal can be well applied to all kinds of music, and the tone can compete with same expensive similar products.

Perfect for some rockabilly revival, it gives a great quality sound that really gives competitors a run for the money. The feedback settings enable real creativity, with their entertaining crazy oscillations. It's teeny size could be a burden or a blessing depending on your setup, but it definitely packs a punch for its miniature stature.

So what's our opinion. The Wave is a fantastic little pedal at a very low price. You can get some cool oscillating delay out of it, and it looks like it could be a boutique unit ten times the price.

From elastic delay to vintage slap-back echo, the VD400 Vintage Delay harnesses the authentic sounds of classic 1960s studio wizardry. Enjoy up to 300 ms of true analog delay – plus the advantages of an superb noise reduction circuit!

Though digital technology constantly evolves, nothing sounds quite like the “old-school” analog Bucket Brigade-style delay you get when you step on the VD400. With its dedicated Repeat Rate, Intensity and Echo dials, this amazing little stomp box evokes the spirits of some of rock and roll’s most legendary heroes, and provides up to 300 milliseconds of true analog delay. Every type of classic delay, from a deep-space whisper, to an interplanetary battle cry – is at your command.

The amber LED tells you when the Vintage Delay is activated (and serves as a beacon for other time travelers), and the top-quality on/off switch maintains excellent signal integrity in bypass mode. You can power the VD400 with either a 9V battery or our PSU-SB DC power supply (not included).

The VD400 Vintage Delay is like a snapshot pulled right out of time – and its low price tag will have you reminiscing about how much you miss those “good-old” days. Visit your BEHRINGER dealer without delay, delay, delay...

A nice feature of the VD400 is it offers split outputs, in case you want to send your delay and direct sound down different signal paths. Overall we like this pedal, it's like a budget version of the BOSS delay pedals available on the market at a higher price. If budget is limited then this pedal is one to consider.

The controls all obviously do something when you change settings so its easy to use. It has a good quality sound especially if you're looking for extra depth for bass. But if you what more cavernous sounds it does them really well for the money.

The Time Space is capable of making some great slapback tones as well as some longer delays by properly manipulating the time and repeat controls. You can also create some crazy oscillation type effects when really pushing the repeat knob. A digital pedal but still sounds very natural.

Caline CP-41 Ghost Rain Reverb Delay is a very good echo delay, natural dynamic, permeability clear and warm. Like the echo in the valley, keeps the original sound, dynamic and width. The CP-41 Ghost Rain combines a warm analog delay that are splashed with a light hint of reverb for a pleasing natural sound.

It's worth noting that the reverb is added automatically and therefore cannot be manually adjusted. However it's subtle enough that you'll hear it yet it won't overpower the delay. The delay really sounds good – full and clear, and an excellent path to travel on if you’re looking for an inexpensive way to sound great on stage or in the studio.

An easy recommendation for us. You should take a look.

• Delay pedal with over a 1 second delay.
• Great quality analogue sound.
• True bypass.
• Strong metal design.
• Takes batteries / adaptor.

There are "Blend", "Time" and "Repeat" controls and a 2 way switch which give more options in relation to the delay time. With the blend control you can easily manipulate the amount of audible delay effect, while Time alters the amount of time between playing, and hearing the delay. Repeat lets you control the trail of the effect; at 0 there is no trail, at higher settings there are multiple delays, each subsequent one played at a lower volume. Switching between 600/1100ms lets you further control the amount of delay.

Turning repeat all the way up allows you to create some crazy experimental feedback effects.

It has a pleasing warm sound, similar to a tape echo but without the tape hiss. Gives a nice lush/rich delay and is capable of shorter delays controlled by a switch. For the money, you really can't go wrong. The fact that it both does a good job at emulating the analog delay sound and behavior, as well as providing an exceptionally long delay time, makes this a top contender for any guitarist on the market for an inexpensive delay pedal.

Overall, a lot of people say that Biyang's Baby Boom series is quite good, and if the Time Machine delay is anything to go by, the are definitely right.

JOYO JF-08 Effect Pedal Digital Delay is made with the pt2399 IC that uses filters to make the delayed signals that have the same response as an old Bucket Brigade Delay that we know and love from Ibanez and Boss. But now you get that analog sound, improved with up to 600ms of delay time and True Bypass.

Combining this digitally emulated analogue delay with any overdrive or distortion puts you in solo heaven and will make your solo's sound huge and epic.

It looks great, its price is unbelievably good & it sounds like an analog delay pedal. What's not to like?

• Based on Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay
• Level: Sets the level of delayed signal mixed with straight guitar tone, fully CCW there is only straight (un-effected) guitar signal heard and fully CW gives the loudest delay.
• Delay: Controls the delay time from 25ms (fully CCW) to 450ms (fully CW)
• Repeat: Controls the repeats of the delay signal, fully CCW gives one repeat and at fully CW you get infinite feedback
• 100% Analog Circuitry True Bypass Switching, 9VDC

The Blue Delay from budget guitar effects brand Mosky Audio is based on BJF Design / Mad Professor’s popular Deep Blue Delay. Which incidentally is the same ambient effect used as the base for the Mosky Audio Tone Maker’s analog section. The Blue Delay pumps out a delay time that ranges from 25ms to 450ms at maximum output. It also comes with a dedicated Repeat knob that controls the number of delay repeats: you get one at minimum and infinite feedback at max.

Not the best on our list for sure, the Mosky Blue Delay guitar effects pedal has mixed reviews but when you consider it's price, it might be worth a gamble. Those who like it really like it, those that don't really done. It's a pedal of extreme views.
