I prefer digital delays like Korg.
My Korg SDD-2000 is the delay YJM still uses. It has a few cool features like Trig Overdub that locks onto the midi beat clock for accurate selection of delays to fit the tempo of your song. Tap tempo, echo on/off(this allows echos to trail off while you keep playing) plus it has long delays 4.3sec
Not true stereo though.
Analog vs. Digital vs. Tape = Meh. Give me digital any day.
Racks can bring a myriad of cool tones. Mine consists of the following:
Furman PL Plus Power Conditioner
Behringer FCB1010 MIDI-Controller
Marshall JMP-1 Preamp
Rocktron Piranha Preamp
TC Electronic G-Major Effects Processor
Mesa Triaxis Preamp
Mesa 2:90 Poweramp
Other than the rack stuff I have an Engl Powerball, Carvin MTS 3200, and Ampeg SS140C. My guitars are a Jackson USA KV2T, Jackson USA KE-2, Ibanez JPM P1 Petrucci, Ibanez Universe, and Ibanez Roadstar. Fuck it, sorry to get off on a wild tangeant but I decided to post all my shit here anyways.

I was gonna get a VHT 2/90/2 but none of those bastards came for sale when I was looking for one so I went with the 2:90. The Deep and Modern give my JMP-1 the balls it needs.
Are they as good as their price suggests they must be?
Yes they are. They go on Ebay anywhere from $325-425 most of the time. THey are good if you want a processor that is transparent and will not color your amp's natural tone. The reverb, chorus, and delay effects are dominant.
