Tips and tricks for working
with the Guitar Delay effect
There are benefits to using the same Delay
►
division for both guitar and vocal effects. You
can sync up the "taps" of the echoes on both
signals and create some very interesting ef-
fects.
With the above in mind, using similar – but
►
different – Delay divisions can also be very ef-
fective. For example, try ¼ note on your Vocal
and 1/8 note on the Guitar.
"Slap" echo is a very common guitar setting
►
for classic country music sounds.
Using Delay effectively can make a very sim-
►
ply played guitar passage sound much more
complex. "The Edge" from U2 makes heavy
use of Delay.
Using Delay briefly can highlight a portion of
►
a song quite effectively. Listen to "Tangerine"
by Moist. In the verses, they use a brief "Ping
Pong" type delay to expand a mono guitar to
the stereo field. (0:42 into the video)
