  • eight dotted delay (U2)

    Quote from BayouTexan

    Uh... Excuse me.... but if you have a DAW then you have a click track to work with.


    I've never tried to play any U2 songs but it seems like all you do is play the riff on the 1 and let the delay do the work. Right?

    I seem to hear these dotted delays a lot on Sundays so can't be too hard.

    Hi BayouTexan, Yes, I use Audition for many years in my home studio. But I don't need the click track. I just play along with the song if, in this case, I have that delay. And you're right. If you mute all guitar strings and have one guitar stroke then after this stroke you hear the exact delay setting. See and listen to the examples in my reply #71 above...

    OK that's a clear answer. Then I must go and look somewehere else.... I'm sorry for your negative comment. I don't deserve that. I just asked for such a delay and this seems to be not possible despite all efforts by many of you, and I tried every one of them. The one in the video is still my aim but if it fails I have to move on. If you don't try you will find nothing. And success starting a topic is never guaranteed.

    Still I like to thank every one of you again for your contribution.

    Starting this topic I hoped that someone could show me which settings and ranges you'd need to get that 8 dotted tone. I still don' t feel the need for a metronome or drums, because that 8 dotted tone is more than enough for me to play that intro, like the one in my video.

    Despite all you very appreciated replies :) :thumbup: none comes near.

    So having such a really exact (Profiler) patch is still my wish and I'm still hoping someone's technical skills can take care for that. Then this long topic has reached his goal.

    again, you must play this against a metronome or a drumloop or the off-set 16th notes will shift your tempo to sound like an 8th or 16th note.

    Absolutely unnecessary. This delay is a metronome of itself, if its settings are properly constructed!! The real key is: HOW?


    For everyone: Look, see and listen here. I now hope that all know what I'm talking about because I don’t want this topic to go out of hand. Pay special attention to what he says at 1:45 !!

    theplayer Please post a recording. Play to a metronome that is set to the correct tempo for the delay settings. As others have stated, keeping the tempo to the beat and not falling into the delay is crucial for the desired effect.

    Hi Hell-G. Have you seen my # 19 answer and listened to my audio file?

    Quote from Ruefus

    I disagree with this completely. When I played Streets - multiple people commented on how nearly dead-on the sound was.


    That's not be being boastful - just the truth.

    I can understand that. Everyone likes to hear a good band and goes, in a figurative way, nuts, while listening . But you can count on 2 maybe 3 fingers those in the crowd who really listens and explain what they exactly hear. After hundreds of gigs in many years I know the answer...

    Quote from Kellerblues

    I would use the dual delay, set the note value and then use Tap Tempo. This would allow you to use the same setup on different tracks

    Hi Kellerblues, thank you for this option, but unfortunately no luck. Both delay settings behave as a normal standard delay setting.

    It turns out to be very difficult, if not impossible to create such a delay for a Kemper.


    I also have found out that you can get a free (!) patch for this exactly sounding 1/8 dotted delay if you are an owner of the Boss Katana amp. Lucky players...!

    Finally, this one is the best sounding 8 dotted note. In the first part (during scratching) you can hear the right delay effect setting and in the second part you can hear it in action with the guitar. And now the million dollar question:

    I have put 2 delays in a rig: one in Stomp and the second in the fx section. Both of them I got in the 3/16 (8 dot) note value. I checked both Tempo boxes for this. Delay 1 left is set to 352 ms with a 70% mix and the right delay is set to 523 ms with a 50% mix.

    But still it sounds a long way from this:

    I checked again and found that the delay preset I uploaded is from "Maurizio70". Here's another video. The Kemper software was older back then, but still a pretty good result.

    I'm an experienced guitar player and did about 40 gigs a year. I have been watching and listening carefully to the playing of 8th notes with a dotted 8 noth delay and the key is to not overdo your playing because then it gets very soon a mess of uncontrolled tones, especiallly in soloing. Let the delay do its job and important: stay in tune with the tempo. Each pick on the guitar string can be the start of the beginning of the delay and cause that totally magical sound You don't want to or have to play 20 or 30 notes pro second... if you catch my drift... :)

    The first trick/aim now is to get that delay...

  • eight dotted delay (U2)

    Hi Ruefus, I'm still trying to get an eight dotted delay. Tweaking a delay to get that result failes sofar. Purchased profiles with promiss for that kind of delay have misled me. So why want I to have such a delay...?

    Well, I've just joined a tribute U2 band with quite a selections of songs. The Edge is known for his all kinds of typical delays for his typical songs. One of those is a (hard to get) eight dotted delay. You don't want to perform with random delays because it must fit in the song and it must sound convincing...

    I know how it must sound but making such a delay without specific knowledge is no option for me. And buying neither I noticed...

  • eight dotted delay (U2)

    Wow...You have been exploring these sounds quite extensively! These technical details, diving deep in making a perfect sound, are going beyond my knowledge and skills.

    I'll try to copy all settings but I wonder if I succeed.

    This week I ordered and paid foor a dozen of U2 profiles. Soon I discovered that they all sound quite the same so this was a waste of money: another learning curve....
