I like Maxon's analog tho.

    The analog delay I use now is a Yamaha E1005 that I bought used for under $100. It's got lots of delay time. It's pretty beat up and they are no longer made but if you can find one it's pretty good.

    And yes, Dave Fox knows his shit!

    Yeah the DOD FX 96 Ex had is aparently a pretty good analog echo too that goes for around 40 or 50 bucks on Ebay.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    the FX96 and FX90 are the best finds going right now. same heart as the fabled analogs essentially.

    I'm a big analog fan, too, with old tube amps and such... but I prefer the precision and brightness of digital delay. But my delay unit is something like 20 years old, too, so it's about as analog as a digital effect can get. Like Paco said, it's personal preference. I would generally stay away from the EH Memory Man... it's got amazing tones when it works right, but it's a moody pedal, it's big, it has a hard-wired AC power supply, and it has an annoying amount of self-noise. Something to be expected, I suppose... but if you use single-coil pickups and a tube amp (especially an older tube amp) that self-noise is just unforgivable.

    And now you guys are talking home-audio in here? What's next, car speakers?

    Speaking of which... Cerwin Vega car audio is the shit, man...
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    stroker 18"s 46lb magnet. 2" excursion. It would put a whole in my trunk.

    Their component mid-hi combos are the best... Their subs are a bit tailored for the electronic/rap stuff, though. I have two Massive 10"s in my Rodeo at the moment.
