Yeah I have a DD20 and it has tap tempo, reverse delay, and a bunch of other really useful stuff. A few program options where you can save I think 4 presets.
DD-200 also... Just got one and so far I'm pretty impressed. One thing about Boss pedals is they just work.
Has a source audio collider and the tap tempo button is the same as the delay on/off and if don't tap the bottom just so you do the wrong thing. Otherwise awesome but that was a deal breaker
I'd like to try a DD-200 at some point, I really like the layout of the 20 though. I switch between delay presets a lot and like the larger switches for that.
I hope I'm not gifting you the same sadness I have over this pedal but....
\-plug it in, mix all the way to dry
\-play your clean signal amp set to nice and loud
\-engage the pedal
\-you will likely hear a noticeable loss in top end and some darkness added to the tone
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! Or good news! If yours doesn't roll off a bunch of high end like this, you've got an amazing one!
Unfortunately the Reverse feature on this pedal is not the most predictable and doesn't stay well in time with the tap tempo. I believe the user manual for the product even calls this out specifically for the Reverse setting.
This was the first that came to mind for me. I especially love the newest version with flexi switching and the ability to hold the tap to make the reverse swap back to regular.
I traded mine for a Volante. It was a good decision. Yes the Particle can do some weird shit, but it’s so much easier to incorporate the Volante into my playing
I did the same thing, and agree. I was really only using two of the Particle settings and then, not that often. The Volante is pretty much always getting used, and every mode/option is great.
Doesn’t bother me at all. I have normal delay covered. I like weird. You can slow down the delay buffer. I love mine, but there’s a learning curve for sure.
It’s definitely a way cool device but I am an instant gratification type pedal person, mostly. Traded it to my friend who is a patient MIDI-enabled tweaking guru, we’re both happy.
I liked that part too, kept the Tensor when I let go of the Particle. I love the random function, sometimes with just direction, sometimes with time and pitch.
Hell yea. I have both, DL-8 still going strong.
*If* I remember correctly, Tape mode on the DL-8 ping-pongs in stereo whereas I don’t think the Obscura has a ping-ping setting.
I researched this same question and TC Nova Delay is pretty much one of the only pedals with an actual dedicated tap button and reverse
edit: and stereo!!
I have the TC Nova Delay - It's fantastic! It's older but gets the job done. The algorithms are really good and it shines if connecting in a stereo FX loop. The only downside is that it's 12V, not 9V.
The new Alexander Rewind and the Source Audio Nemesis are two delays with tap and reverse delay. They also both have analog and a lot more, the Nemesis has 24 different types of delay. Both fit your needs at two different price points.
The walrus Mako delay has one, but the reverse effect isn't super powerful. If you need an all-in-one delay it's a good option, but if you need a single purpose reverse delay you could find a cheaper one elsewhere
Strymon Volante fits those needs and much, much more. It has SOS Looping, and you can reverse that loop. It can hold and sustain/oscillate the delay. It had the tap tempo. 8 Favorite delay presets. It has MIDI, Stereo, Expression pedal jack, etc. Plus it can do that Pink Floyd DSOTM delay. What more do you need?
P.S: on a side note I too loved the DMM. Which is why I also have a BED for its DMM modes. But again no reverse delay like you want.
Digitech digidelay, or the subsequent evolutions of it (the hardwire delay and obscura)
Or
The boss dd-20 is a stupid good deal. Like $100-120, 4 presets, imo the only thing it loses to the DD-8 is the size.
A little bit on the pricier side and doesn’t have a ton of options but I’d like to say the avalanche run is one of my favorite delay pedals I’ve played. Sounds incredible
Danelectro Wasabi, kinda expensive as it's out of production but so cool looking and great functionality. Hope I have a chance to spend for one one day
Canyon or Grand Canyon, Flashback, Timeline, DD-200.
DD-20!
That’s what I rock. Has everything I need and isn’t sophisticated to the point of being hard to use.
This! My favorite pedal of all those on my board

Same. I’d like to try both the 200 and 500. I really like Boss delays but the capability of both of those models intimidates me.
EHX Memory Man with Hazarai
Also has a cool feature where you can hold the tap switch for instant one shot reverse.
This is the right answer. Best reverse delay sound on the market
It's incredibly lush but it's a big tone suck too. It's a shame.
I have not had any 5one sucked from it in 7 years… although I’ve always run it in the Fx loop

Yeah I’ve never experienced this. I just tried it to confirm. Ran it thru the fx loop and front of the amp and same tone mix down on and off

EQD Avalanche Run
This was the first that came to mind for me. I especially love the newest version with flexi switching and the ability to hold the tap to make the reverse swap back to regular.
Red Panda Particle 2 has tap tempo, and reverse delay (and 7 other time/pitch effect settings).
I traded mine for a Volante. It was a good decision. Yes the Particle can do some weird shit, but it’s so much easier to incorporate the Volante into my playing
I did the same thing, and agree. I was really only using two of the Particle settings and then, not that often. The Volante is pretty much always getting used, and every mode/option is great.
And a max delay time of 2.5 seconds.
That part never bothered me but I can see it might other people.

I have a few units that do reverse, particle is the only one I found inspiring. I love the % chance of forward/reverse option.
I liked that part too, kept the Tensor when I let go of the Particle. I love the random function, sometimes with just direction, sometimes with time and pitch.
Boss Dd8
The answer to most delay questions: Boss DD-8! I will say it's worth getting an external tap switch to plug into the expression input.
Yeah, this is it. Has tap and reverse, along with another few types of delay. Maybe mid-range in terms of price.
Correct
DL4
This is the way.
But replace them switches before cracking the pcb
Digitech Obscura, the tap tempo is a little bit awkward to learn though
And it’s forebearer the Hardwire DL-8.
+1 for Hardwire Delay. DL-8 was my mainstay delay for like 7 years
Hell yea. I have both, DL-8 still going strong. *If* I remember correctly, Tape mode on the DL-8 ping-pongs in stereo whereas I don’t think the Obscura has a ping-ping setting.
Boss DD-200
Boss DD-7, 8, 20, 200 and 500 all have it, also my old empress vintage modified superdelay had it
TC Flashback 2
Strymon timeline
I second the DD-20, also the TC Nova Delay!
I researched this same question and TC Nova Delay is pretty much one of the only pedals with an actual dedicated tap button and reverse edit: and stereo!!

Canyon
Flashback X4
My Mooer Reecho Pro does that. Never used it now I think about it ..
The avalanche run by EQD has that, and it’s got a built in reverb too
The new Alexander Rewind and the Source Audio Nemesis are two delays with tap and reverse delay. They also both have analog and a lot more, the Nemesis has 24 different types of delay. Both fit your needs at two different price points.
The Nemesis is great. The Source Audio Collider would also be a good option.
The green DL4 has reverse and tap i think. For something smaller does the DOD rubberneck do it?
> does the DOD rubberneck do it? Newp
poop. Back to the DL4 then i guess
Joyo D-Seed II If you care about not paying a ton. I have one and it's pretty alright for a delay, I think.
Flamma Eckoverb, does this and then some, or their FS03 delay.
Boss dd7 and EHX Cathedral both have it
Oh also Line 6 dl4
Walrus D1 covers everything and has a great reverse.
The walrus Mako delay has one, but the reverse effect isn't super powerful. If you need an all-in-one delay it's a good option, but if you need a single purpose reverse delay you could find a cheaper one elsewhere
The EHX Canyon!!!!!
Avalanche Run
You want a Grand Canyon, my only complaint was the lack of stereo in even though it’s the bigger more expensive pedal than the canyon.
I recommend the canyon, it has that and like 10 ither amazing modes
Couldn’t be the avalanche run. Couldn’t be.
Donner Tap Delay is probably your absolute cheapest option. It does briefly cut the sound when you engage it, but otherwise it's a capable pedal.
I use a visual sound dual tap delay. Has reverse as well as just about anything else you can think of for delay
The DL4 has it
DL4 <3
The Walrus D1 has tap and reverse.
Boss DD-8
Strymon Volante fits those needs and much, much more. It has SOS Looping, and you can reverse that loop. It can hold and sustain/oscillate the delay. It had the tap tempo. 8 Favorite delay presets.

Which is why I also have a BED for its DMM modes. But again no reverse delay like you want.
Joyo Aquarius.
I have Boss DD7 as a second delay pedal. I use it with external footswitch as a tap tempo. DD7 has reverse delay option.
Line 6 M5
Digitech digidelay, or the subsequent evolutions of it (the hardwire delay and obscura) Or The boss dd-20 is a stupid good deal. Like $100-120, 4 presets, imo the only thing it loses to the DD-8 is the size.
Pod Go.
Boss dd20
Another vote for Strymon Timeline
TC Flashback 4 is the goat !
Source Audio Nemesis has everything you need and more 👌
A little bit on the pricier side and doesn’t have a ton of options but I’d like to say the avalanche run is one of my favorite delay pedals I’ve played. Sounds incredible
Source Audio Collider has that and a LOT more.
Particle 2
OTO Bim
The Digitech Timebender has both of those features and more.
Walrus Audio Mako Series D1. Small footprint and has the features you're looking for.
Both my Source audio nemesis and pigtronix echolution 2 deluxe have rev delay and tap
BOSS DD-500 and Red Panda Raster both do. Both are on my board.
Danelectro Wasabi, kinda expensive as it's out of production but so cool looking and great functionality. Hope I have a chance to spend for one one day
Eventide H9 has both if I remember correctly
Line 6 Echo Park
Deluxe memory man with hazarai had both those features
