I use lexicon mx 400 in quad mono fx mode
So i have 4 in/out and lot of delays and reverbs

#217

Where is OTO BIM? Love that delay.

I use mine with CV, scaled courtesy of an SBG. I’ve only tried it with expression set to time.

Another H9 lover. Between all the classic timefactor algorithms and the incredibly versatile UltraTap and SpaceTime delay/reverb/modulation hybrids it’s a pretty killer box. Strymon et al. can’t touch how far out it can get or how rapidly flexible and wide-ranging each algorithm gets. And with both MIDI and CV (1 input) modulation (multi-mappable) they integrate nicely into a variety of systems, including modulars.

If I was going off-list I might opt for Foxpedal’s The Wave which is outstandingly good.

this one’s really good

Have to agree the DIG is a great sounding delay. I use it for modular but it sounds superb on the 24bit setting with my minimoog - perfect clean repeats. The DIGs dual delay when paired with something like the Bigsky creates some really textural ambience. In fact perhaps this is the thing with the DIG - it pairs well. I found the Timeline (which I sold) with the Bigsky was all a bit complex. I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve with delay.

I recently bought the Line 6 HX Effects instead of the Stomp for when my pedal board is too much to carry. Maybe not as nice as the H9, but far more versatile. Sometimes I’ll chain two delays. The results can get you in some strange spaces.

I am sooooo curious about BIM …

#225

I have a buddy that has one, and everytime there is any kind of sale he texts me a link and tells me to buy one. Hes evil like that. Theyre awesome, but super spendy.

#226

Tell you what, next time you get that link, send it to me too - I’m hooked.

memorial day is coming up. Highly likely you could find one on sale then.

I had a BIM for a while, got it because of how much I love my BAM and BOUM. But I wasn’t crazy about the BIM… I found it harder to dial in a sound that I liked, and there are a lot more settings to tweak compared to the BAM, making the led display harder to wrap my head around.

In comparison, the Empress Echosystem that I got when I sold my BIM I find a lot easier to use and get delays that I love, and it can do true dual delays.

YMMV of course. If you love the 12bit sound and the OTO analog input stage (which is pretty great) then there’s nothing else currently being produced that’s quite like the BIM.

BIM is magic. It has a ton of sweet spots that gel really nice with the source material.

It’s one of the few outboard effects I have that feels like an instrument because of the playability.

There’s also a mode that lets you bypass the delays completely and just use BIM’s analog parts to shape your sound with the filters. This doesn’t sound very exciting, but it is fabulous.

The filters are fixed and can really help color your sound. Especially when you drive the preamp.

I’ll be slightly contrarian and say… I wasn’t too impressed with BIM. Not the sound as much as the interface, which doesn’t work as well as it does on their other devices due to the number of parameters. It’s not too bad if you want to set it and forgot it, but it doesn’t lend itself to live tweaking. Not a huge fan of the fixed filter frequencies either. But it does sound good!

Have to disagree on this. Sure there are more parameters, but you don’t need access to all of them in a live situation. Delay time, Feedback, LFO speed and Depth controls are all there without any menu diving. Other functions like divisions, feedback path, etc can all be set up before and saved in the patch.

Echosystem is the best of all delay pedals I’ve tried. Purer sound to my ears. Deep echos. Paired with the MIDI box, the delays sync nicely.

But that’s the thing, I want to access them in a live situation: “set up before and saved in the patch” is not how I use delays in a live context. This is very much a question of personal preference, but for my needs the interface doesn’t work well.

Fair enough, I guess you could always hook up a midi controller and get access to all the other parameters, but that’s extra baggage and space.

I love using the loop function live. I have my BIM synced to midi and hooked up to a mixer. Looping certain elements from a mix is really fun.
