Delay Effects for the Electric Guitar

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Gary Schutt. We’re talking about guitar effects, and right now we’re going to be talking about delays. I’m using my trusty amp, you know what an echo does, and it echoes. It takes your sound and it echoes, delays, so if you turn this on while you’re soloing, you can turn it on a lot or just a little bit for subtle effects. Turn it on a lot for whole other. You can also create harmonizing effects with it if you have it tapped at a certain tempo, if our tempo was this and we happened to hit our tap button with the same tempo my tempo would be in tempo with what I’m playing. And if you’re playing something within that tempo, your echo will play back what you’re playing and you can create various harmony effects. Of course, you have to kind of know what you’re playing because you have to play both harmonized parts, so if I was playing, it would only echo. So when I play both parts, I play the low part first and then the higher harmony, it will echo opposite of that and create a harmony. You can have short delays, otherwise known as slap back which is good for rock-a-dilly or blues. Or you can have long delays, as long as you want. "
