I'm debating on getting a T-Rex Delay...and up on the chopping block would be my Klon. I don't use my Klon much (hardly) but it IS my 2nd one. What do you replica users think? I'm not much on delay but it is fun to have and I think with the tap tempo it would cover pretty much any and all delay needs as well as adjusting on the fly. Thoughts?

Keep the Klon. I don't use mine all the time but when I do I'm glad I have it.

Having dual delay settings is so much more important on stage than the high priced delay's out there.
The tap tempo on the DLS or T-rex work but the repeats are never adjusted with the tap. Usually if you want a longer delay you need some more repeats verses slap back where you want none.
I have to listen SO VERY CLOSELY to hear the quality difference in some of these costly delay's. Having a few delay speed's set and dialed is so much more important when running down a set list at a show. I want my DL4 back.....

For a while I had my Echo Park right beside my Replica, thinking I would take advantage of having multiple settings (for example). Well, after gigging with that setup for a while, I took the EP off the board and went soley with the Replica. It honestly sounds so much sweeter and clearer IMO.

You can program 28 settings and the whole point of the "analog" delay thing that's driving folks nuts is the distortion and decay on the repeats. If you like that, why grab a crazy high fidelity delay? Just get a Zoom and you'll have convenience and some nice low fi analog style echoes, and you'll be out $50.00 instead of a couple hundred. Just my thoughts. I really kinda like the Zoom.

I got a Rocktron Short Timer a month or so ago. It's become my main delay pedal. Very analog sounding for a digital pedal. It's cheap and built well. Also has apush button that allows you to switch back and forth from a slap back to a longer delay. The blue LED is cool, too.
