What is a Delay Pedal?  How Does A Delay Effects Pedal Work? 

A Delay pedals duplicates the sound of your guitar and delays the sound adding depth and a bit of sustain to your guitar sound.  Delay Guitar Effects can be either single delay effects or multiple delay cycles.  A single delay is sometime referred to as slap echo or slap delay.  Jimmy Page used a lot of slap echo effects in certain Led Zeppelin songs like "Houses of the Holy".  Delay Pedals can be Digital Delay or Analog Delay.  Digital Delay Pedals tend to produce smoother guitar tones.  Analog Delay is sort of the older way in which delay was produced.  Mike McCready used a lot of Analog Delay in his side project concert video for his group Mad Season.

How To Use Digital Delay Or Analog Delay Pedals?  How Does a Digital Delay Pedal Sound? 

If you have heard Another Brick in the Wall or Run Like Hell from Pink Floyd, you get a good example of how delay sounds through a song.  It's a pretty distinctive sound that is created.  On Guitar solo's a Delay Pedal can add depth and fill a lot of space.  Recording a solo with delay can make you sound more professional as well.  Sometimes less is more with a digital delay pedal.  Make sure you don't add to much as it can jumble your guitar notes.  Experiment with different delay times to suit your needs.
