Righto I have been through many Delay pedals over the Years and never found one that I really bond with
Would prefer tap tempo, quiet in operation (power noise etc) either analog or digital. less than £200 new or £100 used. No EHX as sick of the unreliability. Dotted 1/8ths
Pedals that I have had are
Boss DD-3 (No tempo), DD-5 (1st best mojo and liked external switch but but no analog) DD-7 (Too much), MXR Carbon Copy (muddy repeats no tap), Line6 Echo Park (clunky) and DL-4 (yuck bypass tone), TC Nova Repeater (3rd best), TC Nova (hated tone), TC Alter ego x4 (2nd best but too big), Digitech Timebender (too many options), Dan Echo (nice sounding but no options), Mooer Ana Echo (so so)and Reecho (noisy).
I'm not a fan of single pedals where you have to set the tap tempo by holding down pedal for a number of seconds and then tapping. Liking the looking of belle epoch and mxr echoplex and boss dm-2w or dd-20 or going back to a dd5 n footswitch and finding a small analog tape echo type too.
Just wondering others i might have missed and or thoughts. Thanks

T Rex Replaybox? Very straightforward digital delay with tap tempo, small footprint, subdivisions. Seem to be some good prices on this at the moment.
Best delay pedal I’ve used and heard is the anasounds utopia. No tap function though but it’s easy to adjust on the fly.
However, I like character so... the Belle Epoch has plenty of that. No tap tempo but it doesn't really matter. And paired with the Echorec it's like you never have to leave the 1970s. Great fun! (But inevitably over budget!)
