→Stereo Delays
Here's some cool ways to set up a stereo delay:
* Ping-Pong - Some delays have a ping-pong mode where the delay will repeat every X ms, but it will alternate between L to R each time, sounding like the delay is bouncing back and forth. This is more difficult to program without a specific mode. Say you want 100 ms. So the L is 100, 300, 500... while the R is 200, 400, 600... The R can be done with a simple 200 ms delay, but the L needs a 200 ms delay, with 100% dry/100% wet mix, run through another 100 ms delay with no feedback and fully wet (100% wet/0% dry).
* Even Ratio - Setting your delays to nice, even (or small) integer ratios, and then using tap tempo to get them to all line up on the beat can thicken up the guitar tone without being obviously there.* Poorly Synced Ratios - if a stereo delay allows independent timing (or you can just use two mono delays), use values that rarely sync up to get a very ambient, spacy sound. If it only allows a set number of ratios, use the ones that have a high least common multiple, which should mean most repeats will be out-of-sync.* One Short, One Long - You can use a short delay with higher feedback, in combination with a longer delay with lower feedback to get both a reverb-like sound as well as an echo sound.
