First of all, thanks to everyone for the suggestions/advice. I’ve been checking out the various EH delay pedals, and some of the reviews of the Memory Man w/Hazarai say that it kills tone. Is that true? I’m still trying to decide which one to get – Memory Man, Memory Boy, Memory Toy, etc. I’m also thinking about waiting until the Deluxe Memory Boy comes out next month. Any thoughts?

To clarify, I’m not trying to replicate the exact sound of MBV or any other particular band. I realize they all use different effects and I don’t really have the money to buy an endless amount of pedals. I was just wondering how I can get a general shoegaze sound with 2 or 3 pedals, if that’s possible. Some of these pedals are pretty pricey, so I wanted to be sure I got the essentials to creating a similar sound. Like I mentioned, I have plenty of fuzz pedals, but there are so many reverb and delay pedals out there, and I wasn’t sure which one(s) would work best. Based on most of your comments, it sounds like the Cathedral is a good start, though. I guess I should mention that I ‘m also looking for something that will also work with playing clean, open chords, so that might change things a bit.

Oh, and thanks for the tip on the Devi Evi pedals. I haven’t heard of those. They look awesome. Which one is named after the label?
