EHX's Most Powerful Delay Pedal Ever

With 12 effects types plus a full-featured looper section, the Electro-Harmonix Grand Canyon Delay & Looper pedal is one of the most comprehensive and creative delay pedals you could put on your pedalboard. Effects range from vibrant delays and echos to animated pitch effects, reverbs, sample/hold, and more. The looper provides up to 16 minutes of recording, and your looped audio remains until you clear it — even after you turn the Grand Canyon off. For more delay effects and looping capabilities than you could ever ask for, check out the Electro-Harmonix Grand Canyon Delay & Looper pedal.

Powerful delay pedal

At its heart, the EHX Grand Canyon is an incredibly deep delay pedal. With a twist of the selector knob, you can choose from 12 different delay effects, including modulated delay, tape-like delay, and even a Shimmer setting. The Tap Div button determines the rhythmic subdivisions you'll access by tapping out the tempo. And holding it down changes the function of the control knobs for deep editing parameters.

Onboard 16-minute looper

The looping effect onboard the Grand Canyon pedal is plenty for practice, songwriting, and even live performance. Simply pull up the loop function and step on the footswitch to start, stop, overdub, and erase your loops. And you can get up to 16 minutes of loop length, which is a ton of time for such a multifaceted effects device. Guitarists at Sweetwater especially appreciate the fact that your looped audio remains until you intentionally clear it, even if you remove the pedal's power supply.

Reverb and more

Electro-Harmonix didn't stop with delay and a looper. They also crammed a great-sounding reverb setting into the unit. When blended with the onboard delay, this setting is ideal for worship guitarists and other players who lean toward the ambient. And adding in a quick delay with low repeats instantly calls to mind the slapback tones of the 1950s. The reverb on the Grand Canyon sounds so good that it would be well worth the price of admission on its own.

Electro-Harmonix Delay & Looper Pedal Features:

  • Time-based multi-effects and looper pedal for guitar, bass, and keyboards
  • 13 onboard effects types, including tape, Deluxe Memory Man, and reverse

Opens the door to new vistas

Like many of us musicians, hunkered down in our abodes during the pandemic year that was 2020, I looked to expand my musical horizons. I am primarily a classical guitarist, though not locked into tradition. I mostly play and perform Brazilian and Latin American music, and also compose and improvise a bit. Previous to 2020, despite about 50 years of playing and performing, I had not really experimented with guitar effects pedals, except for a few pedals designed to enhance acoustic guitar, the LR Baggs Align Series, for example, which I wrote about in an article on amplifying classical guitar, for Classical Guitar magazine... I think that while most classical and acoustic guitarists use pedals not to color their sound, but to try to produce a more natural amplified sound, there's also a lot of creative possibilities that can be unlocked or unleashed with effects pedals. They are useful for live-streaming, which I also turned to for the first time in 2020, and great for generating composition ideas and improvisations. I also play electric, and of course effects pedals and electric guitars play together very nicely.

So 2020 was the year I discovered guitar effects pedals, and this particular pedal, the EHX GrandCanyon Delay and Looper, was my "gateway drug."

This is a high quality pedal, with a ton of options, but overall easy to use. I appreciate that it has 12 different delay effects, providing quite a variety, although I find a few of them not very useful for my style of playing. In particular, I like the echo, the tape delay, the drum, and the shimmer. The shimmer is awesome for adding a bit of ambient wash to the sound, as I have been doing for my arrangement of Peter Gabriel's "Here Comes the Flood," on acoustic guitar.

The looper is also very useful, and it's great that you can lay down a loop using one of the delay effects, and then play over it or overdub using different delay effects, or none at all. Loopers take some time and practice to get used to—-timing is difficult--but they are awesome for practicing improvisations as well as in performance (best used in moderation, IMO).

I also would like to thank Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, for all his guidance in steering this pedal-newbie into the world of stompboxes. There's no going back! (I now own 7 new effects pedals, thanks to Jason and Sweetwater)

I've been using the Grand Canyon and other pedals during my live-stream concert series and have posted a few links below.

Very easy to use EHX Grand Canyon Looper And Delay is Awesome

If you read the specs on this unit you will understand why its very Versatile Unit. 16 minutes of looper time ,unlimited overdubs, loop fade out and so much more. You really need to read all the functions this has.
Before buying this I called EHX tech support to find out if this unit was suited for working with a Bass guitar they said it was great for bass and that was somewhat of an understatement!
ITs Fantastic on Bass or Guitar it makes my Gretsch Penguin Chime so sweety It was like having a new guitar
Also it has 12 Tape delay settings and up to 3 seconds of delay
13 presets can be saved and has even more features
Go online and watch the videos for the price its a bargain and comes with its own power supply

It really is "Grand!"

I used a lot of pedals to produce ambient music for scoring my Youtube vids. This pedal is always on the board and in the mix. The array of variation available is staggering and I recommend the Grand Canyon to anyone who is a fan oof any kind of delay.
