Required effect, any help :)

Hi, please watch this video and tell me if there is a way to get this sound (delay?), that can be heard best at the end of the clip with my equipment.

I have messed with the Hardwire TL-2 and the Boss DD-3 but cant seem to get the delay quite the same. Its as if his delays have lower volume every time untill its gone. I'm not so clued up with setting up the delay pedal.

Thanks

Put the TL-2 before the DD-3 in the chain. On the DD-3, set the feedback knob so it gives you two or three repeats. Turn down the effect level knob so the first repeat is fairly loud (but not quite as loud as the original sound).

Thanks Alan, I was told to always have the delay first, are there any guidelines or is it just rule of thumb on where to place pedals? I will move them around and give it a try, will let you know. ?

No - very rarely, if ever does delay come first - it's usually right at the end after everything but reverb. There are special cases but this isn't one of them. Distortion tends to make multiple notes messy - especially dissonant intervals (think of what happens when you play full chords), and putting the delay first means you are feeding the distortion with many more notes. It also compresses and boosts the volume of all the notes, including the repeats if the delay is first.

are there any guidelines or is it just rule of thumb on where to place pedals?

Works like a charm ? Thanks.
