Hey Folks, I know this topic is pretty much about personal taste, but I will like to hear different opinions rather than just mine.
What are the best settings to get that rich delay tone?
(talking more about a Effect Pedal than built-in effect amps)
I got myself a TC electronics Flashback delay, which is pretty cool, but as millions of settings and I never know how to set it up better.
Whats the "desired sound" on general for delay on harmonica?
It has to take some seconds for the signal to sound (the echo)?
Or the echo has to be repeating and to take longer to fade away?
I'm not really satisfied with the settings I put at sometimes It does not work well (tone-speaking)
But it most be more of all related to the amp I guess as my amp ain't that great either but thats another story
As I'm not much experience with em' normally I just use Spring Reverb and done
Share anything you think could help to improve the "Delay Experience"

echo is usually a short delay
with only a few repeats.
my delay pedal has 4 lines out
so i have been getting carried away with echo
1 amp has a dry signal
the other 2 small amps have the wet signal.
i will be adding a 4 th amp just because i can.
i have been meaning to record it.
i'll have to post something. pretty cool sound.

yeah mine has 2 outputs I tried using it with 2 amps once.
But those ain't tube amps, one is a solid state bass amp which ain't great but does the work decent, the other one is a small guitar practice amp that I should throw away since it sucks haha
Delays can be set up a lot of different ways, so modifying the pedal between songs on a gig is kinda annoying, do people normally use several delays? with different settings?
Now what about reverb with delay? For my taste they normally clash alot when used together, but I still should keep practicing.
1847 so what you use to split the signal like that?
Effects on one amp and clean sound on the other, it sounds as it will sound incredible, which Kudzurunner talked about it briefly on a video but still unsure in how to proceed with it

if you have 2 outputs
one should be unaffected dry
the other one wet.
echo is usually very subtle
when using one amp it is almost imperceptible.
by adding a 2nd amp i find i can increase the delay time
and number of repeats.a much more dramatic effect.
we are having a jam this afternoon
the plan was originally to run a harpking
with the dry signal, and a champ with a wet signal
on one side of the stage, then on the other side of the stage
run a wet signal to a bassman and a small harpgear double trouble, however, my bassman is at work, and i am refusing to go there, to pick it up.
so a harp king, a champ and a harpgear
amp will have to do lol.
