Sound Carpet with Delays - The Chain Gang #13



I use this setup for long - ringing, drawn - out chords or when I finger - pick and I want to blend the single notes into each other gradually.
The delays and the reverb provide a nice base behind the actual chords.

The goal is to hide the repeats of the delays so that they don't sound pronounced but rather give the effect of a continuous combination of notes in the background.
That's why I dial the mix back a bit on the delays.
The repeats are set quite high and the time setting is best matched to the individual song.

The reverb pedal is meant to make the repeated notes even more "smeared" and stuck together.
Also, I'm trying to avoid getting the repats too bright, when using analog delays or an eq to dampen the highs, the feedback gets duller and the individual repeats don't stick out so much.
