bitflipperThe only other delay that matches it is Imperial Delay, but that one's expensive so I'm reluctant to recommend it.

 
Surely it'll go on sale again sometime. It was $39 last BF.

That's not what happens when the feedback control's at max. A blast of white noise is usually a denormal problem. There are ways around that, but not worth the bother for one plugin. Also note that denormals can sometimes be caused by a plugin inserted before the one that seems to be the problem. Make sure you weren't trying out any other new plugins in the bin that day.
 
Besides tkDelay and Imperial Delay, my next-most-used delay is the good ol' Sonitus. I have a few others for specific tasks (Timeless2, BT Oilcan, Replika) but nothing as versatile as the Sonitus Delay. No chorus/flanger effect in there, though. You might have a look at Valhalla's UberMod for that sort of thing.

My favorite delay has been Nomad Factory’s Blue Tubes Tempo Delay 3D. You’ve heard it on some of the songs on the CD’s I sent you. It’s a Standard Vanella Wood Burning Delay but it works for my simple tastes.

Why not just buy the Nomad plug in that you already know you like?
 
There was a deal to get the package included with Sonar for $49.

Supposedly that deal ended Dec 31. The nice people at plugivery.com resurrected the deal and I bought the Bundle for $49. Thank you Ashley. Great Service!

I passed on the deal and paid the $99 to get the Integral package for the extras.
 
I know not everyone likes them but for me the Nomad effects are a great option to have in your tool kit.

Soundtoys EchoBoy is the ultimate really, though, isn't it. It's like all other delay plugins rolled into one, a real workhorse powerhouse infinitely configurable great sounding delay. And it's very simple to use. 

...except it requires an iLok account and I don't do iLok.

It just requires the iLok software. Install & forget about it. No dongle required, and the software doesn't cause any problems at all. 

Yep!!!  And if there are too many "choices", there is always the Echoboy Jr..

There are some very nice delays in Guitar Rig as well. Love the tape delay and Psychedelay. 
 
Regarding EchoBoy and the complaints that the options are "too much" - I did think that at the beginning, but once you get the hang of what they all do, no other delay allows you to customize your repeats and echos as much as this one. You can leave the advanced settings at default if you just want regular delay sounds, but they are always there if you want to, say, have different levels of feedback for the highs and the lows, or smear the repeats, or create a custom pattern of early reflections to simulate a reverb, or apply tape wobble, or saturate the feedback, or tailor the stereo width of the delays to fit precisely in the mix. The more I use EchoBoy the less I reach for other delays tbh. 

Izotope's DDL is pretty good, too, I use it on occasion when I need to...

gotta say,
i liked the sonitus delay for basic anything you need delays.

+1 for the Sonitus delay.

+1 for the Guitar Rig Psychedelay, or whatever it's called.

Also +1 for the VKFX delay. It may not be very configurable, but sometimes it just fits the bill..

Ableton live pdc ....

More seriously , UVI relayer is dope , and for those that went traction boat , they have a delay in the essential suite that is excellent .

I'm just getting into Replika XT now (didn't even realize I had it, lol). It's an incredible delay, on par with Echoboy. So much you can do with it in terms of shaping the delay to fit in the mix (as well as completely mangling it for special FX). Probably a little less daunting and more user friendly (and modern) than Echoboy as well. If you could only own one delay, you could definitely do a lot worse than this. 

A LOT of pros...
