User Reviews of the Danelectro Back Talk Reverse Delay DR-1

- This is awesome! I think this is the most cost effective reverse delay out there. Unlike something like a Boss DD5 it reverses everything you put through it and only outputs the effected signal - e.g. The original signal cannot be heard. I highly recommend this.
- Good Points: Cheap. Output is totally effected (No original signal like DD5)
- Bad Points: The footswitch is lame. Plastic knobs wont take abuse. Cuts signal as soon as stepped on when in high settings.
- Price Paid: US$0.00
- Purchased At: Borrowd

- This is a pretty cool pedal. It's simple and doesn't have regular (Forward) delay, but what it does, it does brilliantly. One of my favourite things to do with it is plug a bent toy keyboard into it, have the knobs at 2 o' clock, 10 o' clock and 12 or 2 o' clock. Makes for some really cool build up of noise.
- Good Points: Built like a tank. I've dropped it I don't know how many times, once down the stairs, and it still works. Does what it's supposed to do better than I've ever seen / heard. Looks cool!
- Bad Points: Tiny fiddly knobs. No forward dealy, but that's why God invented other delay pedals!
- Price Paid: US$35.00

- An overall fun and awesome sounding pedal. It can oscillate like a beast, or do incredibly subtle effects. Having the option to blend in a completely wet signal is great, having none of the forward sound actually coming through is especially useful to get some creepy shit going. percussive sounds are especially great to feed into this pedal, pitch them down and only have the reverse going and its pure clanking bliss.
- Good Points: mix knob! super sturdy construction
- Bad Points: none other than the fact that it's a bit limited..as in it does one thing super great but isnt very varied.
- Price Paid: US$0.00
- Purchased At: n/a, borrowed

- A very interesting but somewhat flawed pedal; it has its limitations, but you can definitely can some very cool effects out of this thing. The best part of it is, you can make it do some really obvious backwards sounds -- this works especially nicely on speech and more musical sounds/notes. It can turn speech into a nice creepy slurry of repeating gibberish. Or you can use it much more subtly in the mix, just adding an extra bit of weird vibe to some of your sounds. Either way, it sounds great, and it sounds different kinds of great depending on how you set it. The one big problem is that as you're turning the speed knob up past 12 o'clock, there can be skips and pauses in the sound. For some reason, it doesn't always happen, it doesn't happen below the mid setting, and it doesn't really happen when you're turning the speed down, just up. Still, can be annoying sometimes, but you just have to be aware of it and use it carefully when you're playing with it.
- Good Points: -nice unique sound -built like a fucking tank
- Bad Points: -skipping problem with speed knob -a bit of a one-trick pony, undeniably

- i have had this pedal since '01, it is the final word in cool weirdness. it does beautiful sub sonic swirls and sreams but also can make a wall of noise to make your nose bleed. the mix dial is especially psychedelic; you play then garbled backwardness suddenly fills the room. also if left to feed back etc it can make a cool rhythm. sounds wicked for those times of noisedeathkill but also can does the other thing-"quiet stuff" not buying this pedal is sheer foolishness. unless its not your bag then you'll know.your drummer wil hate it. haven't really found anything like this before apart from the dd-5 so have no frame of reference, but i know noise and this is it. just turn the speed and repeats to full and run like hell. or stay and make it cooler..
- Good Points: -damn sturdy -hasn't broken yet and has done many gigs -good for batteries
- Bad Points: - the paintwork, sorry. damn hippies -have to be VERY exact with dial placings, if you find a cool sound- remember the settings exactly! this is truer the faster the delay time. -have slight trouble with a/c jack but could be my line selector.

- Very cool and unique sounding, I think it sounds better than the reverse section on the boss dd5 and the line 6. Absolutely great for soundscaping. Overloads and oscillates very nicely
- Good Points: Cheap, well made. Dano is not highly regarded, so widely available.
- Bad Points: One trick pony. What a great trick!!
