Deltafex

Post by Dennis Yager »

Hey, is there anybody using a Peavey Deltafex processor with their steel? I'v got my hands on a loaner and would appreciate any advice or your best settings...this sure would help me a lot makin up my mind to the fact of buying it...the manuel does't mention steel modes. thanks....Carter s-10 3x5...Nashville 400 & Evans

Hi Dennis,

I have a stompbox version called a "DeltaStomp". It has all the same setting as the Deltafex. It's not a bad unit...delay, etc. I also use it for my standard guitar, because in the stompbox format it is very portable. Not bad for the money, but it is not a Profex ll.

The Deltafex and Delta Stomp use the same microprocessor. The Deltafex is a rack mount unit and the Delta Stomp is in a "stomp box"(footswitch)housing. I've taken a Deltafex out and used it with my Emmons and Nashville amps and it sounded really good. This is a 24 bit processor which retails below what most stomp box pedals retail for.

Here's a link to this product from the Peavey website;http://www.peavey.com/products/proaudio ... ltafex.cfm

I have one of these units for PA work, and I have on occasion used it as the effects for my steel. I works very well, and as Mike stated is very reasonably priced. It doesn't have a pre-amp like a profex, but if you are using a combo amp that's not really an issue. The best way to find settings is to start turning the knobs, thats what they are for, don't be afraid of 'em!

The really neat feature on the Deltafex, you can use a 1/4" push/push or momentary type footswitch to ramp up or down the rotary speaker effect. On the DeltaStomp, you can use a CV pedal and adjust parameter 1 values in a real-time situation. This applies to delays and the other effects that are being used at the time.

Try it out at your local authorized Peavey dealer. Here's our dealer locator link; http://www.peavey.com/support/dealerlocator/

Hey Mike--does the Max 100 fit into any of the same structure? I have this multi-stompbox and it actually has a real good sounding preamp section and some decent effects. Does it share Delta's platform?

Would the effect`s in a delta-fex be the same that was used to program the effect`s in the pro,tube,transfex. Enquiring mind`s want to know.
