Oil-Can Delay?

[crankyrayhanky]

What up all!
I haven't been here for awhile but all is awesome with my fx8!

So...back when I had a Kemper, I really liked the Oil Can Delay. A few weeks ago I scored an EQD Space Spiral, which does this effect really well. Can the fx8 get close to this?

Sorry if the answer is obvious or in a recent update; thanks in advance!

I've never used an oil can delay but I listened to several examples. I really liked the slight stereo spread I heard from a Strymon preset. Here's my take based on those examples.

First chord is dry, then I kick in the delay.



Place the block in the POST section (or after your mono cab on an AX8/Axe-Fx). To achieve, I started with a stereo analog delay, low cut to 180 Hz, high cut to 2115 Hz, wide Q at 0.5. This narrow filter creates the main part of the sound. Then I played with MOD1 and MOD2 a bunch, and also attached an LFO to a couple parameters to keep things wavy, to simulate the can with imperfect rotations. You'd have to remove the LFO from the time parameter if you want to tempo sync the repeats.
