Members BTBAM Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 So i was thinking... The thing I don't like about my dd-6 is the tap tempo feature. hold down for 2 seconds to tap...then hold for 2 seconds to get out of tap...then turn off. if in a hurry...that won't work well at all. But...what if it was always in tap tempo mode...and you just put it behind a looper? that way you on and off it with the tb looper, plus it's always in tap tempo mode. It seems perfect. I don't know...old news...but I never thought about it before. I'm going to try it tonight. the only thing it won't allow is the trails. Is there a way to make a looper that can allow signal to trail off? hmm...just pondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cdawzrd Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 doesn't have to be tb...hmm. You would have to have a delay that has a dry out and a wet out... then design a circuit such that when you disengage the "looper", it turns on the dry out, and fades out the wet out over a period of time...Too much of a pain, in my opinion.

Members smrz Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 doesn't have to be tb...hmm. still. the only way I can think of making this work is if you have a wet only out on the delay. Split the signal before the delay, with one out going straight into the amp and the other going into the delay and then out to the amp. put footswitch that mutes after the split, but before the delay (something like a tuner...). That way, you always get the clean sound and you get trails and you get the effect of a tb loop. but that's kind of a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BTBAM Posted November 28, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 ok...forget i mentioned the trailing looper...that wasn't the point...the point was....a way it is always tap tempo is putting it behind a looper, thats all.

Members homestar_kevin Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 just sell it and buy a dd-5. Yeah, I'm that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cdawzrd Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 Is there any way to mod a DD-6 for external tap tempo? Someone mentioned that Analogman does that mod, but it's not listed on his DD-5/DD-6 mod page... He just talks about expression pedal jacks for the knobs. Cause that would be really sweet.

Members homestar_kevin Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yeah I'd be all over it. Boss needs to make a dd-7 and external tap tempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cruciatus Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 i'm almost 100% sure he can't do it for the dd-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cdawzrd Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 i'm almost 100% sure he can't do it for the dd-6 It would make sense for him not to be able to... Since it's a digital product, the hold-2-seconds is telling the controlling microchip to go into tap mode, it wouldn't make design sense to have another input line into the microchip to be able to have dedicated tap... sigh.

Members Dannibal Corpse Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 I USED to own the dd5 with an external tap tempo. I left it in my car the night my car was broken into. I had to get a dd6 and I HATE IT. _Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BTBAM Posted November 28, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 I like my dd-6, I just wish the tap feature was different. But hey...i run 8 delays on my board...atleast one works a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
