psychedelic delay in real life?

does anyone know if the psychedelic delay effect in guitar rig is modled after a real unit, or if any unit comes close to this sound, im deeply in love with it but am trying to flesh out a long term hardware rig and i would kill bunnies for this effect in a hardware pedal or even rack!

let mew know if you have any suggestions

 

I honestly don't think it's based on a hardware unit. what features of it do you use most? there are a lot of delays and I'd be happy to share my embarssing amount of knowledge. If you're using the pitch shift you're probably going to want to look at TC electronics

 

To me it is no doubt an Eventide sound and effect with that, think the Vai presets. That's why I sold my hardware and prefer the soft version.

I too think Eventide must be the main inspiration here, and in the hardware world there are inspired by Eventide units from TC and even Roland. The PsychDelay is probably the most fun and creative of all effect components in GuitarRig, but I hope they develop it further. I have never had the pleasure of playing with a real Eventide (their cheapest and scaled down model is priced around 1.000 € I think), but if you go to their website and listen to the demos, you will hear that it has a more 'solid' sound than I at least, can get from PsychDelay in GuitarRig. I have aired my frustration about this before: better tracking is needed! Even my old Roland GP100, which had many of the features of PsychDelay over ten years ago, had better tracking than GuitarRig, that is: faster response, uniform response (less glitches) and an overall smoother sound from the pitch shifted signal. The sheer computing power available in a standard personal computer today, is much larger than what was available in special made hardware all those years ago when the great Eventides were made. It's in the design and programming. I look forward to GR3 with antecipation!

 

whatever eventide was doing, they must have sold there soul. Their tracking is ridiculously good.

 

I love the Psychdelay also.

I have it at the tail end of just about every one of my favorite pre-sets.

 

i double plus love the way it turns a single note into a huge soundscape its amazing, i abused it in my favorite way quite a bit on this remix i did here

its all over the "solo" and it manages to turn my sloppy noodling into what sound pretty epic (to my ears at least)
its too bad there isnt some real life pedal with fruity colors that you can do it with

 

i just had a horrible vision of a guy with a long gray coffee stained beard taking me into a room and pulling out a burlap sac, and unveiling a fruity colored pedal thats says "psychedelic delay" and then stepping aside to reveal a cage full of fluffy white bunnys and then he hands me a wooden club and simply says "well...."

 

Ok son, drop the acid tabs. :lol:

 

I think he has dropped them!
