Danelectro - Reel Echo users...?

[parry]

I found one locally, for $75 bucks...
hoping to snag it this weekend...

I'm interested in adding the lo-fi and warble to my sound mostly...
Anything I should consider/watch out for?!?
Thanks!

I have one and like it a lot, great for making Echplex sounds: creating little loops is good fun too - it's fun because the loops are so limited (not quite two seconds long) so hardly true looper material, but plenty of possibilities. Check out the Ibanez DE7 too, and the Behringer Vintage Delay; I have all three, and am in delay hog heaven.

If I had the spare cash I'd buy a Reel Echo straight away. I think they sound amazing.

There's a really good YouTube demo here... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kcxt0oYNeVY

75$ is a good deal. I'm really happy with mine!  Pretty fun pedal and quite versatile. The downside is the quality of the pots/knobs, IMO.

I want one really badly. Based on that youtube video, it sounds like it would be really awesome for Neil Young/Dead Man type of sounds.

definitely pick it up. its a great sounding delay. pretty long delay times. my only problem is pitch shifting. but i can get that from another pedal

great delay

Absolutely!!

I found one for 100, I might go for it.

That youtube video makes this pedal seem well worth getting.

I guess I'm going to have to add this to the already long list of pedals to try.

Had one, sold it. Not a bad little delay with some nice modulation/warbly stuff going on. I guess it's main downsides would be that it's big and seems fragile. For my money the Akai Headrush slightly edges it out as a digital pretending to be tape.

i had one, used to record each and every song on my ex-band's album. loved it.

in the end i ended up selling it cuz i had/have too many delay pedals (is there such a thing?), but i still miss it sometimes. it was just too big to haul around, and if i want big, i'd take the space echo along haha! the warble sound wasn't quite convincing enough for me... except for the slapback/bathroom delay thing.
i might buy one back someday though.

Pat.

i got some nice neil young echo using my E-H holier grail on the room or hall setting, with the knob cranked way up... of course, that was late one night, and i was playing quietly so the other tenants didn't get woke up, but still... the border between delay and reverb is a good place for neil tone, sometimes! 

i was all about buying the reel echo, then the rocktron short timer, then memory man, then i finally settled on the maxon ad-999, but i mostly wanted it for a nice analog slap echo sound.

buy the reel!

Um...


I suck. I didn't end up picking it up afterall... 
I think it was the mood I was in - and I don't think it was impulse - but I ended up spending an extra $10 to pick up a Catalinbread Hyper Pak instead.
I've been gassing over those for a lot longer, and one came up so I went for it...

Next in line - Reel Echo.
Sorry guys 

Mez: Thanks! I actually have a Headrush E1 (borrowed) at the moment...
It makes me feel my age. That thing is wayyyyyyyy complicated... 
The guy who owns it, uses it to turn his music into a symphony... it's brilliant.
Me - not so much. I think the Echo is probably more my speed...
It seems more straight-ahead...
