Combining multiple mono delays is not something many people do. Yet, it’s an amazing way to create rhythmic structure that you won’t get any other way. Any delay pedals will work. I prefer to use a mono signal chain to keep things from getting too complex. This concept does work in a DAW—just make sure you turn off tempo sync.
1. Create a simple rhythm. In this quick tutorial, I made a very bland white noise hi-hat loop.
2. Using the first delay pedal, slowly move the repeat knob until you find an interesting rhythmic structure. Make sure you keep the level of repeats down so the rhythm doesn’t get too wet.
3. For the second delay pedal, turn the time knob very slowly. As you do this, you’ll hear moments when the two delays start to play off each other, creating something new and exciting. This works great when the first delay is just slightly off-tempo.
4. As an extra, I added a phaser, which adds a beautiful smeared wash to the rhythm. The phaser's cycle actually adds a third sweeping rhythm.
4. Keep tweaking the repeat and time knobs of each delay—you’ll continually find new rhythmic structures. Go slowly, as there are hidden rhythms that will emerge that you might otherwise miss.
4. Why can't you use one stereo delay to achieve the same thing? It's simple because using two delays gives you two clocks, and the timing will never be perfect. The result is something that has a human characteristic rather than being stiff and perfect.
If you're strapped for cash, look for older pedals on Craigslist or eBay. The phaser in this tutorial was actually found at Goodwill. The Line 6 was purchased for $40 on Craigslist, and the Oceans 11 can often be found very inexpensively.
The cheaper the effect, the better!

"Yes, serial number one of Novation's AFX Station - basically a BassStation II with Aphex Twin's ideas for turning it into something much more than the excellent monosynth it already was.
Visually excellent, too, with a custom colour design, and, not least, a fantastic carton designed by Weirdcore which has to be seen to be appreciated.
This was a limited release which sold out very fast. WYSIWYG: the beautiful synth, looking basically unused (it still has the plastic over the LED), original power supply with UK and Euro plugs, original USB lead, and product sheet with the serial number on it. No overlays. Packing (this carton has to be kept looking great!) 6GBP."

Erik Norlander's Yamaha YC45D Combo organ dual manual, 1972-1977
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by moogfoundation
via this Reverb listing
"The Yamaha YC45D is a dual-manual analog combo organ from the golden age of stage gear, built to compete with the Hammond sound in a portable format… though “portable” is relative, as this beast was famously overbuilt for tone and durability. With lush vibrato/chorus, drawbar control, and punchy percussion voices, it became a favorite of gigging players in the ’70s and beyond.
This unit is in good, working condition. It does not include the original stand or pedalboard. Gray lid is included, shown in last image. Some surface scuffs and two notable nicks in the chassis (shown in images).
Key Features:
Dual 61-note manuals with percussion and sustain modes
9 drawbars per manual plus dedicated bass section
Vibrato and chorus with intensity and speed control
Bass and lead voice settings with real-time switching
Gray lid version
Condition Notes:
All keys, drawbars, switches, and functions work as expected
No pedalboard or stand included
Cosmetically light wear, good overall for its age
The YC45D has been used by everyone from Rick Wright (Pink Floyd) to Garth Hudson (The Band), and remains a favorite among collectors and retro keyboardists for its unique voicing and stage presence.
Please note: Due to its size and weight, this instrument is best suited for local pickup. Freight shipping may be arranged by the buyer (please contact us prior to purchase if you intend to have the item shipped).
30% of proceeds benefit the Bob Moog Foundation."
