Hello All. For a while now i've been thinking about a new delay plugin and it's just about getting to be crunch time. Echoboy seems to very well liked and i probly wouldve just jumped right on that, but it requires iLok and is not x64 afaik. Timeless2 looks like a nice choice. Massey offers what looks to be a very nice delay as well. A tap-tempo feature would be very convenient. What do you guys like nowadays? Thanks for your suggestions.

My go to delays at the moment are Nomad Factory Echoes, PSP Echo (as well as 608 & 42) and Rob Papen  RP Delay. I also use but less regularly UAD Space echo, Nomad Factory Oil Can Echo.
All work fine in 64 bit Sonar X1 (I do have X2 but have stopped using for the time being due to the graphic display issues and some other stuff that needs working out)

I forgot the one I just purchased - Masque from XILS Labs - pretty funky and am just getting into this - very different type of delay

Echoboy is indeed great but the limitations you mention are also true.  I'd go with FabFilter Timeless 2.

I demoed Timeless2 and passed on it, despite otherwise being a huge FabFilter fan. Though incredibly versatile, it didn't seem like the best solution for the 99% of my delay applications where I just want a simple, quick echo effect with a little filtering on it. Honestly, the Sonitus Delay is more than adequate for my needs and would be ideal if a) it didn't have longstanding (probably permanent) bugs and b) had a true mono mode.

Echo Boy is a nice balance of simplicity and versatility, and would have probably been added to my toolkit long ago if not for the iLok requirement.

Have a look at Ricochet from Audio Damage. It makes no attempt to emulate any "classic" wobbly muffled tape echoes, but it's still quite versatile, has a well-designed UI and is only fifty bucks. Compared to Echo Boy, that would leave you enough change to pick up UberMod for the weird stuff, plus a nice dinner.

If you like Timeless 2 and can hold on a few weeks, FabFilter will probably have a year-end bundle sale in which you could pick up three effects, one of them being Timeless 2, plus the Twin 2 synth for $300.  Because this bundle now includes the Saturn distortion effect, this is a particulary good deal if it's within your budget.

Timeless 2 can do the simple or the complex delays, and has many presets for both categories. Listen to some of the demos. It would be nice to get it in a sale bundle with Saturn.  I have both from such a sale not long ago. I'm not sure I've found all of what I'm looking for with Timeless, really. I've not yet fully delved into all that it might have to offer me. But it is nevertheless very useful and creative- and more.

Nomad Audio's Oil Can delay.  Simple and sounds good.

I really love the PSP delays. Very versatile and musical.

Thanks for the replies. I glanced at some of the delays that you all suggested and they all seem to be quality plugins. Got a bit of reading to do now. Are there any good delay plugs with tap tempo? Thanks agian.
