This is a roundup of a delay pedals that are built with an analog dry-through (sometimes written dry-thru) signal path. You can read more about the difference between analog dry-through and fully digital pedals here. We'll focus exclusively on delay pedals here, since there are only a few of them that fit the criteria.

Quick Analog Dry-Through Rundown
For those wanting a quick review, an analog dry-through pedal (delay or otherwise), means you have a digital processor for the effect itself, but an analog circuit for your dry non-effected signal. This does a better job of preserving your guitar's clean tone without having the effect overtake and cover it up.
Questions or additions to this list?
Do you know of any more delay pedals with an analog dry-through circuit? If so, drop it in the comments section below and I'll take a look. Boutique and mainline pedals are fine, no matter how popular or obscure. I sincerely hope this list is helpful to you, and if it is, please share it with others who might also benefit.
