Im so close to pulling the trigger on one of these amps, but ive just got to get the delay issue sorted out. You know it hasnt got an fx loop , so that is where the fun starts.

I dont play any fender guitars, instead I play a 2001 Gibson Historic R8 with voodoo 59 PAF pickups. I dont have for gigging these days and id be using it at home. FX I already own are EHX analogue memory toy delay and EHX analogue small clone chorus. I know I am going to have invest in an overdrive pedal for use with the DRRI and I am quite taken with the juicy tones of the barber direct drive.

From experience of owning a Marshall 2204 head w/out an fx loop and sticking a delay pedal out front with the preamp jacked up, it sounds just dreadful. I love playing tunes by eric johnson , hence the DRRI and those awesome cleans lend themselves easily to my needs, but for kicking on the drive for a solo like manhattan, I dont want that that crummy delay tone like the amp is about to implode, just pure warm analogue repeats. I hate digital fx with a vengeance, so that will be a road I will never tread.

Your help will be invaluable to me in sorting this situation out for me, and if anybody here remembers me from my (in)famous days at the FDP 10 years ago.....................hello :D

For many years Eric Johnson and thousands of other guitarists have been doing just fine with a Deluxe Reverb and delay. I didn't mind the lack of an EFX loop when I had my DRRI. Check out this thread: http://www.fender.com/community/forums/ ... hp?t=43486

Yes the repeats won't be exactly crystal clear, but they should sound better than with your Marshall with its preamp jacked up. The Marshall has a lot more preamp gain than a DRRI or any other blackface Fender for that matter. The blackface Fenders were designed to be clean machines and have a completely different tone stock than Marshall. Try the delay with the DRRI and if you don't like it return it and get something with an EFX loop. But there is a good chance you'll be fine with it.
