All user reviews for the Ibanez DE7 Stereo Delay/Echo

Two modes (echo / delay), three types of hard (short, medium, long).
Over the three knobs (hard, many of repetition, volume). It's been an incredible palette for a pedal of this price. And in addition, may go out stro, happiness, what ...

USE

Super idea, common all pedals of this series, the knobs can go inside of pedal has allows not drgler while kicking left foot right during concerts.
Mastery is all in a few minutes, if one has notions of what a Delay or Echo.
Petit default, the sensitivity of the foot switch is pretty average, especially the ignition. Therefore, the pedal is not as easily activates a Boss, you have to caress her and to go two or three times, it may be my only pedal that acts as a.

SOUND QUALITY

For the Delay effect I am not a fan in general, I do not have much to say. Personally, I use very short with lots of repetition and volume, so that has served me reverb rather than delay.
But srieuses things is the Echo, wall fans sound, cling, turn the knob of repetition donf, good high-volume and turn the knob hard .. . it left for the hacks radiohead any beauty uses a little more traditional fawn, you have made a sound psych garage of the late 60s and beginning of 70s, you tell me the news. Thus, the effect is downright the difference on air, and gives a sacred color your interpretations.

NOTICE GLOBAL

For the reasons I just mentioned, this pedal is a must, it is less chre most complete and the Boss. While it is likely that the Boss is the best sound realism perspective, or the Danelectro pedal has more personality but it is indisputably the Ibanez offers the widest range and dlires the most stuff. Maybe not a studio effect, but in any case, this is a great pedal for the scene.

digital delay, robust, reliable knobs and everything else on my model, short 100% ok, operation level, ras

2 out, in a pseudo-stereo, so provide a second, to take full advantage of the range of spatio-temporal possibilities (2, 6 s) = mini loop in a quarter of an inch

UTILIZATION

I do not know how we can make it simpler for this type of delay ...

this is the only series tone lock motivated me

Knobs accurate, reliable, it holds up, deliveries, respite, travel, it provides at all levels as we find it in good condition

SOUND QUALITY

This is a basic delay, which has its own color,

Amateurs shine and timeline, put 40 euros in cables ...

For my part, ç'est a delay line that I consider fairly dull, though we do.

On guitar, bass, syhthés

the echo mode is really nice with the saturation, volume 10

OVERALL OPINION

advantage, we can do what we want with this circuit!

it is thought, that's his job, in its register

For 40 euros, I do not see what we can blame him, my model is consistent with descriptions, neither more nor less

Interest: combos with other delays, otherwise it remains passable for some

choice again without worries

There is a delay pedal, digital I guess.
However it has a "Echo" method simulating analog delays.

I bought it used, the case does not seem very robust, including knobs, where I feel a bit of a fleet and water goes directly into the circuit, because through the knobs I can see the pedal light inside ...

Yeah it does not feel the strength, I think it collects fine blows, but it appears to me extremely sensitive to beer and other liquids trailing never far concerts ...

Well, aesthetically, we can not say that sending the block, but it frankly, it is all the same to me.

UTILIZATION

The pedal has 3 knobs standars pedals delays: Delay Time - Feedback - Effect Level.

Good English even less of you who know a little delay pedals have understood what these three knobs.

It has two switches:

A switch to go from a very short delay mode (30-160 ms), a short-long delay (120-650 ms) to last a long long delay trèèèèèès (480-2600 ms).

The second switch allows you to switch a mode called "Echo", simulating analog delays (explained below) in a mode called "Delay" playing the role of digital delay.


So, at first sight, it offers almost everything you could ask for a delay (waiting for a tap tempo and the total would have been!).

SOUND QUALITY

So I bought this delay about 25 €. I bought it because one of my groups demanded the use of a delay so very present (like The Wall intro or rhythmic U2). So I needed a delay, but at a low price, because I was not going to ruin me for a group! But a delay cheap it is rare (and everything that is rare is expensive, so a delay cheap is expensive Hmmm hmm ...).

So I chose this delay FOR ITS PRICE and his VERSATILITY!

Indeed, a delay quality 25 € is almost impossible to find!

In addition, it offers so much delay time, it becomes extremely versatile!

Both modes are very convincing!


Digital DELAY fashion is his job perfectly. Rehearsals are identical to the given, whether in overdrive or clean. In short, a digital delay in everything that is expected of him. There is no real color. It is relatively neutral, can be so cold that DD3 all fresh, but this may be due to the age of the pedal I bought. In short, a super accurate digital delay!

ECHO fashion meanwhile, is a simulation of analog delay. Therefore repeats degrade progressively, it really gives more bass to an already cold and acute sound. For example, a Stratocaster, with a chorus and the bridge pickup, could use such delay more "low" to round out the sound.
However, we still feel that this is not analog. Rehearsals look "artificially" degraded to me. I have not tried for hours, neither situation repeats or live, but still feels that it's digital!
The ECHO method is still effective because it simulates a very expensive indeed, the famous analog delay!
I mainly use this method because I find it more alive than a digital delay, however, the use of digital fashion DELAY sometimes arises when I need to do my rehearsals to hear as much as possible.

So this delay is perfect for me because it allows me to oscillate between the two modes depending on whether I prefer to have a more colorful and discrete delay or delay this more and more neutral.

In short, a sort of Swiss Army knife of delay, he does everything he does well, but sometimes nothing beats a good kitchen knife or scissors true, but it costs much more expensive (at least here you have understood the metaphor , as it can be hazardous).

Anyway, for my part, I am happy with my purchase, with a small price, I have a delay that takes great quality road noise! It is not great, it does not reach the quality of delays to 200 euros (Ibanez AD9, MXR Carbon Copy Eventide etc ...) but this is normal, its price and ten times less!

Miracles do not exist in electronic (I think)!

Oh yes, it can go on self oscillation, for those interested!


And finally, a little small flaw: When a time delay mode (short, medium or long) to another one goes, the first rehearsal becomes a kind of noise (which can be from self oscillation also is fun to do!) subtle, like a zip but softer.
Well you really have to use to move from one mode to another as quickly, even for me, completely useless, so this problem is not one for me.

Especially that this problem only occurs if you move quickly from one mode to another and when you scratch quickly went the other way. In fact, if you wait one second and a half or two, this problem no longer occurs.

It is therefore not a problem, but it was the highlight anyway!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a few days, I have not yet tested or live in or repeats, however, I would not hesitate to come to an edict after tested again (then live but it will take some weeks).
Domestic use but it does what I ask him a rhythmic delay, present and sometimes very neutral, sometimes more discreet and colorful.

However, this is not the delay I would use to "grow" my sound or my solos. This may be because I already have one for this and I'm in love with her also visited ... So that I did not try to "grow" the sound, but it is to be tested, I would do an edict on it if it ever happens to me to test for this purpose.

So I only use it for rhythmic delays, the real delays what! No placebo reverb.

And for this pedal is everything I hoped it, for almost the price of a capo in this frankly worth!

I get this thing in a local music store for about $100 USD

The knobs are easy to move, you can be as very accurate with the speed of the delay

this thing last about 3 months then it won´t work and I always had troubles to activate the effect, I don´t know if only my unit was damage but i´m sure i´ll never get any tone lock pedal

pretty damm hard thing I´m sure it will never broke up but i think the boss pedals are even better

Prove it and ask someone else who had bought it before you get one

I bought it from the music store around the corner from my house for $69.99. I bought it because I needed a delay pedal for my solos!

I have the Ibanez Fuzz pedal, I don't use it anymore cause I don't really need it. I bought this pedal because I needed a cheap, but good, delay pedal, not a delay that will cost me $130+!?!? This pedal is great for what I need! It has a short delay that sounds sorta like a reverb(like you are in a big room!) The other delay is great for solos! I don't really use the long delay mode, I think that is pretty stupid, why play something, sit there and hear it play back?!? The long delay is only good for sound on sound, then it sound pretty cool! The best thing is how they are Tone-Lock! You can push in the knobs once you get your setting, so you won't loose it if you accidently hit the knob!

The delay is great, I never use the echo mode, sounds really bad, like the old tape echos. The echo usually gives off some strange unwanted feedback noise?! The other thing, the little switches to switch between delay times and delay mode, they are made of plastic, seems like they could break at any time? Also, sometimes the stupid pedal doesn't go on or off when I step on it, so I gotta step on it a little harder now?

Alreafy talked about it up in the don't like area.

Great delay, very worth the cheap price! Who cares if it doesn't have "reverse mode"!

I was just browsing a local music store one day and came across this pedal and loved it instantly. The price was a bit steep at 145$ Canadian.

The pedal goes from 0.1 to 2.5 seconds of delay so this can give you some diverse range. The construction of the pedal is very strong and is similar to the durability of a boss pedal. The lock in knobs are a great feature so that you don't lose your precious settings well playing or transporting this pedal.

I found that the pedal can be a bit stiff when stomping on it so just stomp hard. So if you don't plan on really stomping a pedal then this isn't for you.

Built like a rock. They don't make pedals that much stronger then this.

If you are a serious guitarist then this pedal can be ideal for you. If you are an amature not in a band then this may be a bit useless for you. If you do decide to purchase the DE7 then don't pay anymore then I did for this pedal.

Bought for $89.99 from Musician's Friend because I wanted to try to re-create The Edge's tone.

Rugged construction. Very, very good sound, especially for filling out wailing solo. Good controls for tweaking the sound. Without any experience with delay effects, I was able to get exactly what I wanted. And the Tone-Lok controls (which allow you to lock and recess the controls once you set them) are heavenly! Every pedal manufacturer should have something like this.

The footswitch is rugged, but also not hugely responsive because the battery compartment is right under it. Also, this pedal eats batteries like mad, and when it's low on juice, the effect becomes inaudible and kills the tone. A power supply may be desireable.

Good. They should, however, look at the spring-loaded footswitch and make it more sensitive without losing durability.

Given the sounds I'm able to get from this pedal, I highly recommend it despite its shortcomings. Ibanez hit the nail on the head with the Tone-Lok series.

Paid $95 for it. The only time delay I had
was from a Zoom 505II unit. The time delay was
decent on the Zoom, but I wanted more.I think
time delay effect (for me) is important enough
for a dedicated unit.

I like the unit a lot. It has a large window
of delay times, from a few ms to 2.5 seconds.
Very good sound.

I can't think of anything that I don't like
about it.

Very well constructed. The buttons lock in
the down position which keeps them from getting
knocked around and your settings accidentally
changed.

I am happy with this unit. I'm glad I didn't
pay more for some other brand.

This little box of wonder costed a good 70$ at guitar center. But I do love effects so.

This stomp box is a versitile tool for any style of music and level of wierdness you want. It features Time/Repeat/Level knobs and an alternating Delay/Echo switch. The echo is the best feature. Instead of just decreasing the level of the replayed sound, it also decreases the tone, which gives the effect of a train rolling away (which you can mimick almost perfectly with a little luck). The range of echo goes between 350 ms, to 2.8 s, not too shabby. It's solid as a rock as well.

There's not much to complain about this unit, except the price! I guess you could expect that from a digital delay, but boy howdy! And it seems to just eat up the batteries too...

Its a buff grey stompbox, with 3 knobs, a switch, and a trigger (the stomp, under which you load your battery). It has a power outlet thing, but you don't get the adapter with it.

This thing is perfect for adding just that extra something to any style of music.

Wanted to try out a Delay


This is probably the coolest effect pedal I have ever played (and I've played alot). I'm not going to go into what all this can do, but I will say that the push-lock knobs, dual outputs, and wide variety of sounds for this price make this pedal stand out from the crowd.


Eats batteries, use a power supply.



One word: TANK. These new Ibanez pedals are made to be stomped on.


This pedal kicks ass. I will be buying more Ibanez pedals in the future.

If you're thinking about getting the DOD analog delay, get this instead, this pedal does a lot more, and does it better, totally justifying the extra 10 or 20 bucks you'll be paying.

Ibanez is really known for their very inexpensive and budget friendly guitars as well as their TS9 deep screamer pedals. They probably have the most highly used in easily recognizable overdrive distortion pedals in the tube screamer. I do also do some great sounding effects pedals as well. One of those pedals is the stereo delay echo unit. This is a great little stereo delay that sounds great in front of an amplifier as well as in the effects loop of an amplifier.

SOUND QUALITY


Most delays sound pretty good overall. It's really hard to screw up a delay pedal for the most part. It's a very simple design but a highly effective unit in which many guitarists from all walks of life and every genre of music tend to use the delay in many of their songs. The delay can really make a break a sound the most the time it really elevates someone's playing and actually gives the guitarists a lot more comfortable sitting arrangement because of the delay repeats filling in many of the open spaces within the music. This is a great sounding delay and probably pretty inexpensive delay for most people's budgets.

The controls on this are very simple and explanatory. Get a delay time, a repeat, and delays level which controllers your overall mix or volume. You also have to toggle switches that allow you to dial in the springtime range and whether it's going to be in echo or delayed mode. You can get a lot a great sounding pedal for the money if you can find when used, they're a great little tool.

OVERALL OPINION

You can find them online and in many classified section on the internet. They usually hover right around 50 or $60 or so. That's a pretty good price for a great little sounding used or even new pedal. I seen these pedals online from some retailers for right at about $65 new. So for people on a budget this is a great sounding effect for your guitar rig.

Please note this is a really excellent pedals pedals. Notice all the hackers of this sounds like radiohead PDAL is for you. The ratio Q / P is honnte. I use 2 in series + aka a delay. I especially prfre echo function that blocks a note. The must is to modulate the note as if by magic, and so do the vritablement to sing like a unicorn draga a deer in a cave of its kind Lasco if I may say so. Also good are the two outputs Stros. We play on two amps, cut the first and the violonning becomes important.

UTILIZATION

Simple

SOUND QUALITY

Deep

OVERALL OPINION

My advice: put in at least 2 in SERIES, a delay in the echo and the other in

Trs good pedals.
CHRE not for the service.
I have a strato Japanese reissue 60 (excellent) & I play Rock / blues for many years.
I use it at the chain end (+ Boss OD2 Boss CH 2) to attack my amp Peavey Prowler (all lamps)

UTILIZATION

Rgler easy. The minimum requirement is l.
Trs well to "grow" the solos.
In my case, I do not use 100% of the style in which I play.
+ It is sufficient that much.

SOUND QUALITY

The effect is of good quality audio trs. Nothing to add, Listen to it.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had little time. This is my Ibanez pedals Premire in such & I bought a lot - a Boss DD3 CHRE (not far from the double trs, CIS). We will use if it is solid (I have a Boss that only 15 + & walking 5 / 5).

Weaknesses:
The only complaint is the look a little Austre & sad. The old Ibanez pedals are very + enjoyable to watch.

Strengths:
- Services
- Echo mode / Delay
- Sound quality (more than enough to make scnes)
- Price (- CHRE, then the people wonder why!)

The DE7 is a delay-echo.
This like all the Ibanez pedals of this series has the particularity of being able to return the knob to the pedals by simply pushing what keeps setting even when going over a jack.
I m used in the beginning of Chiana (c is the first) mode with a very short echo maximum to be able to repeat from the notes into a sort of feedback but instentanne adjustable by turning the speed.

UTILIZATION

Very simple to see other reviews.

SOUND QUALITY

Then c is the negative side of the pedal (and all those of the same series) the sound of the delay is ugly ad comparing other pedal as the boss or ibanez ad9 DD3 (old metal).
As against the delay time is super long 2600mm nothing to do with the rest.
To each his own utility.

OVERALL OPINION

I possess 4 years since (d in I even had 2 for 2 years) a cheap pedal ave a very long delay but not very nice.
To you to weigh ...

See other opinions. For my part I find that, under its false air of a Soviet tank, this pedal is a little junk in all, including the switch to select the mode (delay / echo). and what she is ugly! (Okay you tell me, the point is precisely the sound ... well, we'll come!)

still a good place (it must be the only one), the locking knobs after setting, it avoids as a result of any friction unfortunate that the buttons do not move.

UTILIZATION

Rigid snap. I find also that there is no huge difference between the mode delay and echo. at the sound, I spent some time tweaking the knobs in the hope of getting a nice rendering, but in vain ....

SOUND QUALITY

This, I think he should stop misleading the poor unfortunates who would buy this pedal alone, based on the opinions admiring earlier (the persons concerned have they tried other delay before? saw the glowing review, I doubt it!): This "trick" or "thing" has its rotten (not to say that it sounds not at all), a real crap! it's cold and synthetic possible, even with a multi purpose low-end you can get better! it sounds not at all, regardless of the config and settings .. yuck!

OVERALL OPINION

I tried this pedal for a good half hour when, after seeing the reviews on AF, I was ready to buy. well I can (try it before you DO NOT buy it) because it sounds really not. I preferred to save some and buy the super Ibanez AD9 analog, which itself looks like a delay (warm and deep guaranteed, just the opposite of that DE7)! short, if you do not throw 80 euros from the windows, do not buy this toy, for little more expensive, one can find much better OCCAZ!
