Members smrz Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 pretty sure that's gonna {censored} up the other modes, so chorus and flange don't work right. otherwise, rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangesix Posted May 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 I plan on only using it as a looper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members conky Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 Stock its a 2 second looper but I've heard of people getting 20 seconds out of them by adjusting the trim pots. I'm not sure which pots it is but The more you adjust it the dirtier the repeats get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangesix Posted May 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 anyone know specifically which trimpots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members squareking Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 From geekchat: The one closest to the output is the Delay time. The one Closest the the huge DIGITECH on the side is the Feedback.... The third is the balance(I don't **** with this one). You will want to mess with the feedback to get it to delay infinitly. The Delay time will break up after 5 seconds. Play with it and it will get to about 20, BUT....You will get clock noise. meaning a high pitch squeel will bleed into the signal. I deal with it at higher settings. But at 5 seconds it won't break up or bleed through. Just be a bit low-fi Test it out before you tweak, though. Make sure the volume level is ok and the feedback is manageable. Then mark the settings in case you goof up somewhere. And DON'T touch the balance trim. Just the slightest tweak could ruin your amp/ears. I have mine set for about 7-8 seconds, so it's on the verge of bitcrushed goodness at higher delay settings. It's a fookin' sweet pedal.

Members Dr.Pain-MD Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 Woot, the PDS series rules. I tweaked my 20/20 for self-oscillation, but I left the delay time at something around 2 seconds since I don't really use it as a conventional looper much. I really love the hold delay though and I use it to loop short "runs" which sound awesome with some reverb and delay after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bleepedybloops Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 I've got mine tweaked out to like 6 seconds maybe? I forget, I never use the full time, just like the degraded sound it gets when you tweak out the trim pots. Do you need to know which trim pots do which? I could probably describe that for you if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hiwatt Bob Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 I have a pic on a different computer that shows it. I'll try to post it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members acdc518 Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 the pic from guitargeek is the one i used to mod mine. cranked the feedback to max then mess with the delay one. dont touch the balance one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kpd78 Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 Aren't the trimpots labelled?(printed on the PCB under the trimpot) They are on the DFX- pedals and the RDS- rack effect versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nightraven Posted October 13, 2010 Members Share Posted October 13, 2010 i turned the feedback up a bit on mine so that it self oscillates at max and i wound up the delay time to something like 15 seconds (can't remember exactly). the modulation modes still work fine.

Members fakeplastic Posted October 13, 2010 Members Share Posted October 13, 2010 The only problem that occurs when you crank up the delay time trimpot is that the delay time knob gets super sensitive and can have an uneven response. On the plus, it sounds fantastic with high delay times. Super gritty, low sample rate insanity. You can get about 8 seconds of 'normal' delay out of it before clock noise and weird frequency response kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
