i like to play short minor chords with some synth-stab like sound. this lets you clearly here the time-structure of the delays:Musical Gym wrote:What types of sounds are the best to use for testing?

...and sounds pretty cool (IMHO). i'd say, instant house in this case. actually i don't really like house ...still this sounds cool. percussive sounds are also good for hearing the time structure. with slow, pad-like sounds on the other hand, you may be able to create some kind of reverberant impression with short delays (but this does not work on percussive sounds though, so it's not really a replacement for a real reverb)
