The first delay of which I was aware was in the piece "Echo III" played on the viola by Tim Souster in Cambridge in the early 1970s. Not an echo or reverb but a cannon. Delay was via two reel-to-reel tape machines, with a carefully measured distance between them. I cannot remember if it was the band Intermodulation or 0db, but I loved the piece. Not heard it for decades
