So the budget is tight, the space on your board is little, and you desperately need a delay pedal.
Here's an interactive page that sums up all the options you have; to navigate it, follow these guidelines:
Hologram Electronics brings a prolific new box to the pedal game with a sophisticated workstation called the Dream Sequence which spans a host of capabilities including octaves, arpeggiation, sequencing, and sampling. You can use the pedal effectively as a sound designer to create full chord sweeps, pitch shifts, envelope filters, echoes, sub-octave harmonized tones, and all sorts of deep sequenced layers. This is one of those pedals that words don’t have much hope alone in doing it justice because the list could go on for days.... Click on the title for more
Most engineers and producers, to allow themselves more options at the mixing stage, record guitars (electric ones in particular) with two or more microphones placed at a different distance from the sound source. Shoegazer bands are particularly famous for using this technique, which indeed can help give the guitar a more roomy and open sound (if the mics are spread across the stereo field), but can also be problematic, because of a little mysterious word called “phase”....

With a sound both meditative and gothy, Brooklyn duo Surf Rock is Dead pairs sunny melodies to melancholic tinges, ala the Drums, but with a much shoegazier approach, a kind of music that's tightly connected to the use of guitar pedals. Since guitarist Kevin Pariso confided us that he often gets asked about the secrets behind his uber dreamy sound, we just thought we'd give him an opportunity to come clean....

Recreating the sound of classic rock and pop bands from the past is always fun, but probably not high up in most guitarists' list of priorities. That's why we are highlighting this cool series of videos produced by Reverb.com, dedicated to the theme.
The Cure is probably THE band that made the sound of the chorus and flanger effects popular, so you won't be surprised to find a lot of those in the following video, performed by Chris Kareska.... Click on the title for more

After perfecting their nuanced sound via touring and single releases, the shoegaze duo, Shana Falana, impressed critics with a 2015 debut LP titled Set Your Lightning Fire Free. Follow-up album, Here Comes the Wave is scheduled for a fall release later this year. The band's sound hits all the right sensory marks dealing in positive wonderment and a sense of discovery. Vocals, as sung by singer/guitarist Shana, soar over chiming guitars and tom-tom drums, all of which keep pace with affected, drone-y guitars. Here's Shana to re-cap the techie and creative side of things.... Click on the title for more

Led by Danielle Sullivan's gentle and compassionate voice, Portland's indie pop outfit Wild Ones sounds anything but wild, although they do enjoy experimenting with sounds, which - in a sense - is kind of wild! Their music has the ability to sound at once warmly intimate and somewhat cerebral. This is must be the product of the fusion of the creative minds and talents of Danielle and keyboardist Thomas Himes. We asked them a few questions about their gear and compositional process....

Leading string manufacturer D'Addario recently launched a new line of guitar strings that proudly features the letters "NY" in its name: NYXL. This is to bring attention to the fact that the Long Island based company, after spending the last few years working towards centralizing every step of their operation, can claim that the new steel wire at the core of the NYXL has been formulated, created, and perfected in the Empire State - not only made in the US, but made in NY!...
