This delay pedal sounds bad. So why is it still my favorite?

    Discontinued in 2010, the Ibanez DE7 remains my favorite delay pedal of all time, regardless of its "crappy" digital quality. I broke down why I love it so much.
    You can still find some used DE7s all over eBay and Reverb. I highly recommend you grab one if you ever find it at a reasonable price!

    The low fi repeats is how any standard analog delay works.
    You can get that sound from any cheap pedal, just check out the Donner Wave pedal.
    Analog Delay -> Degraded repeats
    Digital Delay -> Perfect repeats

    Was ready to rage at you for calling the DE-7 the a bad pedal! But you’re totally right, its flaws are its strengths. Totally love the weird sounds that you can get from it.

    I only have had two delays. I bought this for a basic delay pedal and soon it stop working. So I bought a Nux Delay (that is a clone of the Maxon AD9) which always has a slap back character that annoys me. Luckily a friend of mine took a look at my DE-7 and found its problem was only dirty jacks. So now I love it because I have realised that it produces a sound I really like and never that slap back echo that annoys me. I can only describe it as sweet, and dont know if other delays produce the same sound.

    This pedal is definitely NOT a road warrior 😂. The enclosure is so brittle. I used this pedal for years and had it replaced twice within a few months at one point. And that was just from basic stomping. I do love the tones from it but I had to replace it permanently on my live board because it's just not built to take any sort of actual wear and tear. I do keep one around for fun and often think about rehousing it myself but since it's a rare pink version, I always talk myself out of it in case i ever wanna sell it.

    Did he really say Ibanez is not known for their pedals? Tube Screamer?

    I got mine used for 5 dollars at guitar center because it was missing a pin on the switch. I stuck a finish nail in there and problem solved.

      There are snobs who only care about high quality components and extremely clean signal, which is fine! But yes, I have heard other players call this pedal “the worst” in terms of sound quality.
