Valhalla Delay released

[ramseysounds]

H-Delay and Echoboy covers my bases *shrug*

I don’t think “need” usually factors into the decision to buy music technology products. More like: does it sound good? Is it fun? Can I afford it? Bought!

Everything Sean does is top quality, and priced so reasonably! I don’t even have to hear it to know that I’m going to buy it.

One thing I would love to see on his plugs and other devs plugins, is the ability to lock/freeze any parameter and not just the standard dry/wet mix. This would help immensely in quickly tweaking presets to make your own, and auditioning different sounds while working on a specific mix.

Glad I didn't get color copy, it is good but surely more limited

As for the name of this new one: Valhhala Vintage Delay.

I'm pretty sure this is more than one modeled delay type.

And from his demos, I'm already convinced that there's room for another delay.

I have a feeling that this is gonna be about character more than "tricks." I didn't buy color copy either for the same reason (as rod_zero) as it seemed too limited, but I think this one is gonna be amazing.

IIRC he didn't have much competition in the price bracket he put his reverbs in, but that's not going to be the case with a delay plugin. Still, very interested to see the Valhalla take on a tape delay.

I'm betting he's gonna kill it once people start comparing it.

There are an insane number of delay plugins out there, but once you get past the capability of mixing a delayed signal with the dry signal and the timing of it, you get to where they are different and at this point, the number of unique delays becomes a much smaller number.

I can't get enough delays and Valhalla's will be an insta-buy from me!

[Everglide]

A new delay by Valhalla, call it... f.f.f.f.f.fanbois

[Neon Breath]

Another delay?

.... From ValhallaDSP?

[Tp3]

Valhalla Ooh La La !

I was already bored with U-He's "colour copy" because for me it just doesn't offer anything new or compelling to the world of delay effects.

It does do offer some new things in the world of delay effects. You might have missed it, though.

I'm not doubting you, but care to enlighten us? What are the 'new to the world of delay' features of Colour Copy?

For me, it's the quality of the saturation and quality of pitch modulations.
However, i still use my other delays, as Replika XT, Echoboy, boz imperial delay, psp 608, Excalibur etc.
(haven't used FabFilter's timeless for a while, though...)

ColourCopy is also the only delay I can think of that does feedback ducking. Other ducking delays I've seen/used only do amp ducking. Feedback ducking is great because the initial delays are normal volume, but subsequent delays are ducked until the input falls below a certain threshold. Works for great for things like guitars and synths where you want to hear the delay, and use long feedback, but don't want the feedback drowning out the main sound.

And as pointed out, the delays themselves sound excellent. Go throw up ColourCopy on a track, with a healthy mix and some feedback and compare it to your other delays. Do you hear a difference? Does ColourCopy sound better (or different enough) than some of your current go-to's? Did for me. Even when compared to other bucket brigades.

Boz's Imperial Delay can also have ducking either outside or inside the feedback loop - essential if you want the classic 'repeat the last phrase of the vocal only' delay effect
