Delay/Mod questions

I am using the Helix in pedal mode only for this. I have it running straight into my DSL 40c (not using the fx in). I play in a cover band and I try to find what pedals the bands are using to sound close at least. I'm having a heck of a time with Delay and Mod pedals.

 

The main thing I need is a monster solo snapshot. My main issue is delay pedals seem to repeat a ton of times and clutter up my sound. I read about people setting it to 3 repeats, but all I have is 1/4 and MS options.

 

On the mod side. I try to get a tremolo effect and they sound off. I feel like the tap tempo is overriding my settings? Is there a way to set BPM on those?

For the number of repeats, you adjust the feedback parameter. If you are running the delay in series, try about a 25% mix and 25% feedback. That will tend to stay out of the way (ala Andy Timmons). You can also run the delay in parallel with your "dry" signal so you maintain clarity. 

 

You should be able to make the trems a set time and not based off the tap tempo.
