Okay, that's just plain silly...

The pedal pictured above is a Pete Cornish TES Delay pedal. If you’re not a guitar player of the decidedly Classic school of rock, that series of words and accompanying picture are probably essentially meaningless. So here’s the story in a nutshell: Pete Cornish is this ?ber-Geek in the UK that makes pedal boards and the like for famous people with bottomless wallets. People like (and specifically, in fact) David Gilmour.

The going skinny is that ol’ Dave needed to not use tape delays on stage, for reasons that would be readily obvious to anyone that has ever tried to use a tape delay on stage, so he asked Mr. Cornish to make a pedal that acted like a tape delay and didn’t suck. Pete came up with this pedal (well, not the particular one in the picture, but the design.) Dave said “well, Pete, that’s pretty fucking good” or something undoubtedly similar but somehow strikingly English, and used it forever afterwards.

All that by way of saying that the Pete Cornish TES is a very, very good delay pedal. Probably the best delay pedal ever made, and there aren’t that many out there, maybe a couple dozen.

So, when you click the link that’s coming up, you’ll click it with the understanding that this is accepted to be the best example of this particular sub-class of effects. Before you click, think to yourself the most you’d pay for the best delay pedal ever made. Check it.

Now that you’ve done that, and you’re back, ready for the whopper? This is essentially a circuit-bent Boss DD-2. I shit you not. Have a nice day.
