Modern day musicians have many different options when it comes to genres equipment, effects and audiance since the rising population and advancing technology allows for large audiances of every genre and wider opportunities in their art. This is especilly the case with rock, pop and jazz which all use the guitar and the bass guitar. There are many different ways to change the sound of the guitar and add a variety of effects most of which can be placed at your feet for a convenient way to change the sound of your instrument in an instant. The effects vary from wah wahs which can change the sound of the instrument entirely to the bass guitar delay pedal which creates an echo effect which can be adjusted heavily through the various dials on the pedal.

A musician that knows how to properly utilize the various effects at their disposal will be able to create any sound they desire. The innovations achieved in the past 100 years in musical instruments and amplification has allowed for newer sounds that people 100 years ago couldn't even imagine. And with the bass guitar delay pedal which has been used ever since the golden age of rock, blues and pop of the period between the 1950s up until the 1980s which is technically still going on with many bands popping up around the globe creating complex and interesting tunes that weren't possible a decade ago. With the delay (analog or digital) you can use it to replicate the sounds that Jimi Hendrix made to the modern day rock that has been branched into many different sub-genres that all have their own unique style to them.

How a delay works is by creating a closed circuit from the input of the guitar to the output of the amp causing the echoing effect and you can control the time of the delay, namely how long the echo will last. The feedback, the repeat you'd like to hear, and the overall level of repeats. When getting a  bass guitar delay pedal there are a few things you should consider, thhe value of the pedal the simplicity, flexibility, precision, quality and size of the pedal which all play a role in its overall usefulness. And weather it's an analog or a digital delay, analog uses more natural means by adjusting the amp to create the sound while digital does it through an internal processor. Analog will sound more natural while digital will give you more options so again it falls to personal preference.
