Sadly that influenced me a little until I started using reverb and then years later another friend gave me a very good demonstration of digital delay.

I play a lot of open airy instrumental music, light Jazz style pieces, among covers of popular music. Delay is an important tool for me to add depth/dimension and separation when I play leads. The TC Electronics Flashback Delay is very clean and transparent.

Postlude: What my friend didn't do was perform and/or play acoustic plugged in. My experience is, plugging-in is giving your guitar another voice, ability to shape that voice, and create a multitude of voices.
There's nothing better than a friend voicing his opinion on something he has zero experience with lol. Some players over use chorus but just look at Lindsey buckingham. Brilliant player and he has a good deal of delay, reverb and sometimes chorus going on.
