Many of the Boss delays seem to have those features: https://www.boss.info/us/categories/effects_pedals/delay_reverb/delay/

Indeed. Man, I have a lot of pedals to review. At least the DD-8, RE-2, RE-202. I prefer knobs over menus but the DD-200, DD-500 look worth checking out. The RE-2 looks like you can long-press the pedal to oscillate, so that's
I hope you find the one that fits your needs and helps you make the music you want!
Man, I really have to stop hitting Reply when I mean to get out of preview mode!
Thanks for pointing me at Boss! I don't know why I just completely blanked out on them when thinking about this. The RE-202 is looking like a real contender so far! I'm coming from a Danelectro Dan-echo, so keeping tone control would be nice is a surprise bonus. And having both reverb and modulation for the repeats is smooth.
I finally found a manual for Source Audio Collider which confirms it does trails, so that's pretty high on my list now too. Over the RE-202 I like all the extra modes it has, but I'd have a lot more to learn to not feel like I paid for stuff I'm not using.
Hah. I know I have done that.
I get it. There are SOO many boutique pedal makers now with insane circuitry is it easy to overlook the more established companies. Chase Bliss has crazy unique pedals that will make crazy noise you never even heard before.
For sure, you can have something for a long time and not know how to use every feature it has.
Sorry I don't have a recc, I just use a rubberneck, while not stereo, it's a fantastic pedal. Bbd are my fav.
Side note: Can someone please make a guitar pedal specific community? I would but not brave enough. I spent a decent amount of time on that one.
I don't have a ton of experience with guitar pedals, but have you looked at the Empress ZOIA? The ZOIA has stereo inputs/outputs, supports an expression pedal and, based on my experience building patches for it, it shouldn't be very hard to do what you want.
That looks pretty badass. But I think I'm way too ADHD to effectively use something like that.
Fair!
I tend to gravitate tower pedals and instruments like the Empress ZOIA, that are programmable and versatile: the Critter & Guitari Organelle (runs PureData patches), the ZOIA (runs its own thing), the Monome Norns (runs SuperCollider), the MOD Dwarf (combines Linux plugins to create virtual pedalboards). Now that I think of it, these are almost all computers running Linux (I think the ZOIA is the exception)!
It is very easy to get overwhelmed with possibilities and options, though; constraints are a good thing. I watched Tom Morello's masterclass and in one of the episodes he talks about his pedalboard. He has like only 5 pedals (2 are repeated because he doesn't want to change the knobs on stage), and he talks a lot about how he has learned to make what he has sound good, instead of having his pedalboard be a moving target. It's a really interesting perspective!
I have mad respect for people who can really dig in and make proper use of components like this. The results are generally impressive. I have a Boss RC-5 and honestly struggle with that! The external dual footswitch helps but I need to dig out the manual to pick more intuitive set of functions.
