I'm looking to add a delay to my pedalboard which will be placed after my Klon klone and Barber Direct Drive. I'll be using a Fender '52 reissue tele through a Princeton Reverb... I've found with the few delays that I have tried that the first repeat tends to stand out too much and clashes with the original signal, so basically I'm looking for something that takes a back seat when playing lead... One delay that I did like was the MXR Carbon Copy but it's delays tended to be a little bit too dark. Does anyone have any suggestions? The Maxon AD999 looks a promising option.

A lot of people go for a tape delay to get softer repeats - strymon El Capistan is great but I’d like to try the mxr echoplex for a smaller size.
I haven’t tried them but I like the clips I’ve heard of the way huge echo pedals as well.

- Maxon AD999 - my favourite, luscious sound, only downside is most of the useful delay times are concentrated into the middle 3rd of the Delay Time control
- Boss DM-2 Waza - S mode sounds just like a DM-2 or DM-3, C mode gives you longer, brighter delays
- EHX Memory Man TT550 - very useful tap tempo, lush modulation, similar feature set to the Carbon Copy Deluxe
I also have the Maxon AD9-Pro, which has very dark repeats (as does the Maxon AD999-Pro - didn't keep that for long!
I may actually pick one up again soon!

The tap is useful, hold to send into oscillation a cool feature and scrolling through subdivisions also.i never use the loop but its a cool feature
I also have the big moogerfooger and the carbon copy. If i had to chose one it would be the ehx.
EDIT
The digital emulation pedals sound good but always come across a tad vanilla next to the analog imo.
