How we ranked these delay pedals

Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

Max delay time weight 2
Tap tempo weight 1

Buying advice: delay pedal with presets

Count the presets you can reach live

Presets matter most when you switch sounds mid-song. The MOOER stores its 14 effects with preset storage, the SONICAKE stores 2 sounds in each of its 7 algorithms behind one A/B button, and the BOSS holds 8 EVH presets. Check how you switch between sounds: the MOOER uses a tap tempo footswitch, the SONICAKE uses one A/B button, and the BOSS uses its panel controls.

Check tap tempo and delay time

Tap tempo keeps the repeats on the beat, and delay time sets how long the echoes last. The MOOER and the SONICAKE both have tap tempo, and the SONICAKE adds 3 rhythm divisions to match echoes to the beat. The BOSS runs from 0 to 1500 ms, with a 0 to 3000 ms range for long echoes.

Look at bypass, trails and power

True bypass passes the signal untouched when the pedal is off, and a trail function lets the repeats fade instead of cutting off. The SONICAKE has true bypass and a trail function, and the MOOER has a Trail On function. The SONICAKE runs on DC 9V power at 150mA, so bring your own supply.

Frequently asked questions

How many presets does the MOOER D7 X2 hold?

It holds 14 built-in stereo delay effects with preset storage. Tap tempo sets the timing, and the Trail On function lets the repeats fade out naturally.

Can the SONICAKE store two sounds per delay?

Yes. Each of its 7 algorithms stores 2 sounds, and one click of the A/B button switches between them. Tap tempo with 3 rhythm divisions matches the echoes to your song's beat.

What makes the BOSS SDE-3000EVH special?

It packs two SDE-3000 delays in one pedal with 8 EVH presets from Eddie Van Halen's live rig. The presets are locked, but you can adjust their output levels, and the pedal builds a wet/dry/wet rig.
