Delay pedals: Are dotted 8th note delays commonly used in Shoegaze? Or are quarter notes more common?
Looking to get my first delay pedal and I was interested in the DD8, but I found out you can’t really set delay subdivisions with the tap tempo. This seems like a limitation.
I’m still kind of new to writing shoegaze songs and haven’t yet fully figured out how I’m going to use delay yet.
Are different subdivisions other than quarter notes common in shoegaze? I feel like I hear quarter note delays more…
How do you guys use delay? Do you use different subdivisions? Do you use tap tempo at all or just use weird delay timings for ambient effects.
Would not having access to subdivisions on tap be a deal breaker for you when buying a delay pedal?
