Hello, I would like to know if the analogit FX is really good for Dub Techno in general. I currently have a syntakt, a diktakt 2 and an electron digital tone and these should get an effects device where the priority is on reverb and delay. The sound should also get some compression and dirt. Do you have any experience? I just don’t want 10 pedals, but one device that takes up little space and can do a lot.
The reverb and delay on the +FX are fine but not amazing, in my opinion.
The other effects are good, and the heat stuff is obviously very good. But one limitation I’ve run into is that rarely do I want all those effects on the same track.
In my opinion, if you want to use a +FX in this way, you should think about how you are going to solve this problem (e.g. with a patchbay, Overbridge, etc.).
For me, since I use neither a patchbay nor Overbridge, this (literally, deciding where to hook up the unit) has been challenging.

Okay, im searching for amazing delay and reverb.
Knows anybody the eventide h90, IT IS a Multieffekt like the ah+fx
I would recommend getting a dedicated delay pedal if you were going to be focusing on anything dub. It’s a huge part of the sound and you want to be able to tweak those knobs at any time.

Can you recommend a specific pedal?
With Syntakt, you have all you need to make the classic dub delay effect: CATENATION aka Dissonant Witchcraft on Instagram: "... did you know i give lessons for any genre? ;) More info: link in bio #elektron #syntakt #dubtechno #dub #dubb #dubby #techno #sounddesign #synthesizer"

Yes it is. It takes a bit to dial iin the sound you want but it definitely can do great filtered, lofi, crunchy, phasey, warbled delays and reverbs. The lfo’s and envelope follower are very useful to add movement to the effects.

Benidub gear is made for dub.
However my firm recommendation would be the Erica Synths Zen Delay - no competition IMO - their new reverb would probably pair well too.

Source audio collider is another dual effect delay & reverb.
The Zen Delay is a really nice delay, but the lack of pitch artifacts when changing delay times kinda killed the dub vibe for me.
I have a UAFX Orion tape delay coming to combine with a Walrus Slöer to try some dubby fx send action with. Both are fairly simple but lots of hands-on control and deep sound-shaping possibilities.
Another unit I’m expecting is an Ekdahl Moisturizer with all factory mods done, should be super vibey 
The tape delays have pitch artefacts, unless we’re thinking of different things? You mean like the doppler sounds or something else?

The OTO BIM delay unit is awesome, just an overall excellent FX unit that combines the best of analogue and digital delays.
I have the SAC, and while it’s a nice-sounding and reasonably-priced dual FX unit, it’s not what I’d call playable. The two FX share one set of knobs, with a single tiny switch to choose what the knobs are affecting. Okay for set-and-forget, not so good if you want to tweak in the moment (which I think you’d want to do for dub techno), unless you control it via MIDI.
Best dub setup I’ve ever done was using multiple aux sends into fx that then fed back into channels that sent to the aux’s.
I did this in Logic for this EP, which was all composed on the Elektron MNM and MD with fx in the DAW: B* Dubs EP
The buses were something like a tape delay on Bus A. A reverb on B. A chorus on C. And a ping pong delay on D. Bus A sent into C, which sent into B, which sent into A again. c also sent into D which sent into B. You get the idea. I had to really dial in the amount of the sends to get washy fx without runaway feedback. I think I put compressors on each buss to also limit things from going out of control.
Why is this relevant? Because to get really good dub fx on the AH+FX, I think you’d need to pair it with a mixer. Send into it using an aux, but return the Heat back into a stereo channel that also has an aux and send some back in to make a feedback loop. That way ALL your processing and fx will be interacting, to give you real dub soup. The trick is you need the overall fx chain to have some delay and/or verb, and at least one of those needs to be 100% wet or you get real fast flanged feedback squeal from the dry signal path.

I get very good results using simply an OTO BIM and a Boss Space Echo Re202
