Lyrics:

Tiny messengers back for more
No patience they gotta hit
Weaker than the last one
But I’ll carry you every trip

I look at myself,
I see the moon though empty
Shatter the glass
Then I move on

The stars will align
A show of infinity
Proving your willing to let go
It’s Almost Human

Slip away To the shadow
Something magnetizing
Peel back all the skin that filters
Inject the possible

I look at myself
Through these pages
I look at myself
And I move on and on

The stars will align
To show us a better way
Proving your willing to let go
It’s never ending

The stars will align
A show of infinity
Proving your willing to let go

Every Hour Kills - Almost Human - Single 2015

Here is a very basic dual delay: 1/8, plus dotted 8th. I added a little cross-feedback, but I've got R TIME OFFSET at 99.2% so they don't stack too precisely. That's probably about as good as you could get in the days before TEMPO sync'd effects. Don't be too perfect!

Because we're talking about vintage digital, I've set BIT REDUCTION to 11. I know, I know... who ever heard of a 13-bit effect? But with the Axe-Fx, YOU decide what you like. I let the last tail ring so you can hear the grit. Remember how we used to "hate" that sound? Now we tweak it back in in nostalgic appreciation! The EQ of the delay is set to taste with some high cut, low cut, and a little bump  at 2.6k.

I'm playing a Les Paul Jr. (P90s) into two "Hipower" amps. You can't see it in the picture, but the preset also contains a DRIVE block (FET) and a COMPRESSOR block (PEDAL).

I programmed a cheezy lofi drum machine because I felt it was important to show how pushing/dragging into the long delay tail creates a human feel even though the drum machine and echoes are quantized.
