To answer both the original post and you, I've had many pedals in the last 20 years and my all-time favourite has to be the BOSS DD-20 GigaDelay...what an amazing pedal!! Fully feature laden, easy to operate and great sounding Smile
 
You can get all kind of echo-related sounds with it.
 
So Bornlivedie (I dig "Signify" too, by the way Wink) if you can afford it go with the DD-20. If not, the DD-3 is a classic and you can't go wrong with it (had it many years ago).
 
Cheers, J.-

The RC-20 Loop Station and Metal Zone distortion are my favorite Boss pedals.  My overall favorite stompboxes are the Frostwave Resonator (MS-20 HP/LP filter clone) and Moogerfooger Ring Modulator.  The green Line 6 delay pedal is pretty dope too.

LOL

I felt the same way until I got into modular analog synthesizers; three-quarters of my effects chain nowadays consists of Blacet synth modules...  Lots of spaghetti and plenty of tweakable knobs and switches! Clap

That's basically the same as an array of stopboxes in terms of what you have to do to set them up only a little more organised. Wink

I'd love to get some synth stuff to add to my guitar signal as it could help me produce even stranger sounds than I can already produce with my limited collection of effects which is comprised of a Boss DD3, a Danelectro Cool Cat, a Russian Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi, an Ibanez Tubescreamer and finally an Ibanez Weeping Demon wah with an Ebow on the side for extra strangeness.

Can you put a guitar signal through those or do you have to use volt-per-octave signals?

Yeah, the ease of setup is definitely a blessing.  No more wall warts!   Two other things I really like: the ease with which I can reconfigure my effects chain on the fly and the CV processing capabilities of many modules-- very few stompboxes (Moogerfooger, Frostwave, etc.) provide this kind of flexibility and sound-design capability.

You can run just about any audio signal directly into the synth via the I/O module.  I've routed electric guitars, keyboards, SM57s, contact mics, circuit-bent toys, and portable radios through the I/O with no problems whatsoever.

EDIT: Sorry, I don't mean to derail the thread.  Now back to your BOSS pedal discussion...
