No he’s right. It’s literally blues every single video. We’ve watched thousands we know this

Ok. I NEED this delay!!! I was looking for an analog delay for atmosphere. This checks all the boxes.

Sounds fantastic! How do you compare this to other modern compact analog delays?

Happy to hear you enjoyed it. Micro Dream isn't analog. It's actually using a a slightly crude digital delay chip called the PT2399 (crude when compared to the insane DSP chips we have available now, but the sound that the PT2399 is so charming and nostalgic. I love PT2399 delays). So in essence it's actually a digital delay, but with a voicing and structure very much like a true analog delay. If you want nostalgic and warm lo-fi repeats, then this one definitely delivers the goods, and I love how simple it is. You can find way more complex devices out there, also within the PT2399 world, so it all depends on what kind of features you really need. If you like to keep things simple, then this one is a great solution

Very enjoyable demo!! Love those riffs. I want this pedal now

Damn! I owned a Dream Echo 2 at one point and I don't remember it sounding nearly as nice as this! Especially the crazy oscillation on the DE2 I found too harsh and not very musical or useful without having to filter it severely! This is lush and nice! Well done, Stefan!

Thanks, buddy! Really happy you enjoyed the demo :) The oscillation is pretty intense and chaotic, but I dig that. Sometimes you just need that effect that'll destroy everything in an instant, and the oscillation on the Micro Dream can definitely do that if you want it to. But it can also be nice and dreamy, if you keep it within the 30-600ms range.

This is probably the 10th time I'm watching this video. Don't know if I'm gonna buy this pedal but your videos (including others) give me joy. I'm using Boss DD7, Mooer Reecho & Digitech Obscura. Someday I'm gonna replace the Boss with this. Hands down, you are the best reviewer of delay pedals.

Amazing demo, you’re my go-to for checking out pedals! Question tho; would I be missing anything other than the fuzz if I got this instead of their Echo Dream 2?

@thepedalzone

Thank you! The Echo Dream also has a modulation circuit. The Micro Dream is literally only the core delay of the Echo Dream and nothing else. It’s a good core delay though

Great little pedal. Although the DOD Rubberneck does everything this does with more controls and options without the boutique price.

Love your playing, very appropriate to the pedal. So, "grainy" in this context means noisy?

I just bought this pedal due to your video. You made it sound so delightful! Can't wait to get mine. Also, would you consider doing a video on the Hungry Robot The Wash? I'd love to see how you make that one sound as it is another one I am really interested in.

Wow it sounds very clear and bright I like it. You ran through many settings thank you Stefan. Also I have a question Stefan. Would this unit be a good pair for a CB Montavillian or a Disaster Transport Jr? (I found them to be dark) Thank you! Hoping to see more demos from you. Already buyed one pedal thanks to your videos and seriously dreaming about this Dream Delay.

@thepedalzone

Thank you very much for the kind words! The Micro Dream can be clear and bright, but it still very much belongs in the analog-voiced realm. It's not as clear and pristine as a pure digital delay or for instance an Echoplex tape echo. I've never tried the Catalinbread Montavillian, so can't say how it's pair with that, but yes, it would be a nice partner for the Disaster Transport Jr. Thanks for watching and commenting. Means a lot to me :)

Beautiful guitar. I have played this dozens of times and I have yet to figure this out. Will you please post the chord sequence you're playing? Argh!

I would love to see this compared to the Ibanez DE7. It seems like it could come close.

I love the sound but it seems like a noise from the pedal. Maybe that’s the point?

Hi Stefan - killer demo. Can you isolate and get all the same tones from the Echo Rec 2? Looking at both at the moment (among a dozen or so others - almost too many choices) and really like the sounds you achieved Thanks

@thepedalzone

6 жыл бұрын

Happy you liked the demo, man ☺ This and the EchoRec are two very different pedals. You can get some of the rounder analog-style sounds from the Micro Dream with the EchoRec, but you can't get the crackling disintegrating lo-fi sounds. EchoRec is way more minded at swirly ambience and rhythmical multi-tap echoes, whereas the Micro Dream is aimed at lo-fi analog-inspired echoes.

Just found your channel today, subbed immediately. Beautiful playing, and you showcase each pedal's capabilities very well. Quick question - I'm torn between this pedal and the Caroline Kilobyte. They're both $200, and they're both the kind of lo-fi grainy that I love in a delay. What's your preference between the two?

@ElementOfSmash

5 жыл бұрын

Personally, if torn between DBA and Caroline, I'd probably go DBA. Of course, it's a BUNCH of personal preference, and YMMV. But in my personal experience, Caroline's pedals tend not to play well with others. I couldn't get the Kilobyte or the Meteore to jive with my Disaster Transport Clone, Afterneath, or Julia. And that was important to me. I had the Micro Dream for a few months before I traded, and it worked really well with my setup. Personally recommend. If you haven't gotten something in the last 5 months.

why not ARP 87?

found a pretty good deal on one of these. how do u think it would work in the fx loop of a dirty marshall jcm2000? too inherently muddy and grainy? im looking for a small analog or type sounding delay for an fx loop situation (mod would be a plus)

@erickt1974

3 жыл бұрын

Get something digital to be super clean if you want to avoid it being muddy

I dont know....i love lofi delays, but this grain sounds like static to me (not the last one tho)....i like the WA ARP87 much better. great playing.....

@thepedalzone

4 жыл бұрын

It is static. The delay chip is being heavily over-clocked. It's only designed to go to around 300ms, but Death By Audio have pushed it to over 1sec of delay time, which will create heavy fidelity degradation the longer delay times you choose. I like that kind of static though. Sounds like an old tape that's being chewed up. But sound and art is always a subjective thing. I'm just happy you have a lo-fi delay that you like.

Is this a PT2399. If not they've nailed the sound. I've made a few of these with a glitch and a boost switch. I don't think I've managed to get a whole second out of it on the delay time. You can always rely on Death by Audio to make a great sound paired with a unique look. Great review.
