Playing a bar in the 90s, and was opening with ‘She Sells Sanctuary ‘, was using this stupid early Boss multi fx unit, and had pressed bypass by mistake. Instead of the awesome delay and chorus intro I gave it plink plonk plink plonk 😂

For this month’s Halloween sweeps, show us your scariest delay! Maybe it’s a decaying repeat that comes back to haunt you. Maybe it’s a runaway echo […]
