Don't print the triangle with the delay. If you want, you can print the delay 100% wet on a separate track (make sure you label it apropriately!). The reason is that you might think the delay sounds cool, but I might figure out something different to do that sounds better. Or, I might like the delay, but after blending everything, it's too loud, or not loud enough, and I wouldn't be able to change the level if you print the delay with the triangle.
