Reverse pedal

[pj]

The Red Panda can do reverse as well as a myriad of other things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm0OSz-K_54" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

what reverse pedals are out there and which is the best?

The Danelectro Backtalk is quite highly-regarded and sought-after, but not so easy to get hold of at a reasonable price.

I just got this one in. I see why people like it. It can do 100% wet and the extra repeats are only reverse not alternating forward/reverse. I think this was in competition with boss dd-5 at the time and it addressed both issues.

+1 for the Danelectro, like the talkbox effect they did in the same series they never really sold. 10 years ago you could pick them up for £30/40 on eBay now there's one on reverb at £225; crazy prices which would probably push me back towards a second hand boss if I was looking at one now.

The Red Panda Particle delay has a great reverse feature - it's more of a reverse playback of the echoes of what you are playing, depending on where you have blend and feedback set. The freeze function is cool because it'll take a note, or two and keep looping it reversed when you have it set at 3 o'clock or higher.

The Ditto X2 is more of a true looper/ with reverse setting on playback. Some great sounds are found when you overdub on your reversed loop, switch back to normal and your overdub is now reversed.

The eventide space has an excellent reverse setting, and it's really tweakable. You can easily nail Kevin Shields-like delays.

I have the EHX and enjoy the reverse option.

DD-6 > DD-7 reverse mode, that is

You should also consider the new tc electronic flashback 2. I don't have one and I haven't used it, but I did have one of the originals and was happy with it. In addition to being a great all-around delay, they've integrated an expression pedal into the switch. On the reverse setting, the expression pedal cuts out the dry signal. This was shown off in a recent episode of That Pedal Show and looked pretty impressive.

Check it out...could be just what you're looking for.

I use the reverse setting on my Ditto X2 quite a bit. I like that it's a reverse signal, as opposed to a reverse delay or reverse reverb.

I haven't tried the reverse on my Ditto X2s yet, that may be worth checking out when I'm not trying to actually loop a whole part. Thanks for the reminder.

I had a Dano BackTalk. Not that great. Better reverse delays out there nowadays imo.

Thinking outside the box, there's a reverse delay FX on the Zoom H4 recorder. Not pedal-board friendly, but a really useful addition to any musician's armoury and available fairly cheap now that it's been superceded several times over by newer iterations.

I was interested in getting one of these based on the positive comments above, but I'm not so sure now . . . can you tell us which you think are better and why?

When the Backtalk came out - which is 15+ years - there were VERY few reverse delay options available.

I fail to accept that reverse delay effects haven't improved since then.

When setting the Backtalk to get the most intense full wet reverse effect out of it, I found that it did this annoying hiccup sound thing that was always there. I dunno if it was clock noise or what it was.

It's a good pedal, but it's not the be all and end of reverse delay pedal and reverse effects.

This video demo is a good representation of the Backtalk to my memory.

what is so bad about the reverse on the dd7 compared to the dd5 and 6?
