You should check out demo versions to find your favourite delay. There are clean and colored delays.
My favourite clean delays:
1) Cubase StereoDelay
2) UAD Precision Delay
3) Cubase Multitap
My favourite colored delays
1) EchoBoy
2) ValhallaDelay
3) UAD Galaxy tape echo
4) UAD Cooper Time Cube

If you plan on purchasing your first Universal Audio hardware, you can get a free additional plugin. Just send a PM.

If you like old plugins, Nasty DLA by Variety of Sound, and Sanford Delay. DLA is grungier and retro-er, but Sanford Delay is easier to tempo-sync. You can even sync the left and right to different measure divisions.

I would use it much more if it wouldn't saturate the signal like mad... that way, I use solely Replika XT for delay purposes really, because, the signal stays crystal clear if I want it to, and dirty as hell, if that is what I want, with some of the other modes.

But that saturation in H-Delay is really nice. Kinda warm. Makes everything sounding more pleasant, I find at least.chk071 wrote: Mon Oct 26, 2020 2:00 pmI would use it much more if it wouldn't saturate the signal like mad... that way, I use solely Replika XT for delay purposes really, because, the signal stays crystal clear if I want it to, and dirty as hell, if that is what I want, with some of the other modes.

The key to making sure you have the best delay is to buy all the delays.

So many. Repika, Microfuse, Deelay, I even still use Bionic Delay (from 2004). It has a preset called Endless Delay which is a great replacement for Ohmboyz.
