TONE CITY

BLUE CRYSTAL ECHO ANALOG DELAY 

$75.00 USD

This is a welcome pedal as there are many cheap ones but few with a good spec.The layout has the usual time, repeat and mix but it gives you a switch to go between the standard 600ms delay time and the longer 1100 ms. That said an analog delay is not the usual choice for the all bells and whistle modern Star Wars plus type thing a Digital delay does that much better.

An analog delay is best at subtle delays that fatten up the guitar and stay out of your way. In short you get a bit of echo on your guitar with no fear of getting guitar on your echo.

CONCLUSION

The biggest thing that makes an analog delay great is the total vibe of it's tone. MXR were great at it and it could argued that Boss and Ibanez were even better.

Not that you have much with what we have to listen to

but the Tone City sounds quite good and having double the delay time is bonus. 

BUT

Unfortunately I have one of my big buts. The NUX DCP-3 is a clone of the Ibanez classic the AD-80. It even uses the recently reissued old Panasonic chips. I have one and it is a serious keeper. At $60.00 USD it is a steal, what's not to love!!!
