Speaking of the Eventide DDL-500 series delay, I think it is the best, most amazing delay I’ve ever heard–even better than my H8000 at the time when I compared delays on the two, and way better than any competitor’s. But I had to send it back (two of them) because there weren’t enough options on it for me for live use. But what a sound and what punch! I hope you can come out with a version of the 500 delay in any form that makes it more ideal for live use–with footswitch tap tempo, full midi control–the typical stuff that the H9 thru H9000’s have or will have for live use, and with that same unequaled sound and punch of the current DDL-500.
