It really has nothing to do with a pedal and more to do with playing technique and a more treble tone. I would disregard any external devices when trying to get the Mooney/Brumley sound. Much more a bouncy style.

"Bouncy" is a good word for it, Kevin, and there were no "delay pedals" when the style was first developed, only spring and plate reverbs, echo chambers and tape delays, the latter three being only available in well-equipped recording studios.

Didn't Ralph Mooney use a Echo Plex from time to time? I'm thinking Sneaky Pete used a echo Plex quit a bit.
