Members putdownripoff Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 if this has been addressed somewhere else then i'm sorry for taking up precious webspace. i'm thinking about switching my dd-3 for a dd-20, but is it true you can't switch the trailing delay off (after you switch off the pedal) on the dd-20? i know that's the pro/con thing between 3 and 6 but i figure the dd-20 has an option...then i read somewhere that you can't turn it off. doesn't make sense.

Members Purplexi Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 Huh? I r cornfused.You want it(delay) to not continue after you switch pedal off or out of chain?Hmm,personally I would be more concerned if I had to reset cross-program trailing,every time I turned the DD-20 back on.Are we on the same page here?

Members putdownripoff Posted January 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 with the dd-3, all delays stop abruptly when you disengage it. with the dd-5 and 6, there is a trail-off that continues and fades out so it will blend as you continue playing clean. I normally prefer it abrupt because my usual transitions are sharp. there are a few songs though i would like to leave the last delay ringing for a while i continue clean or on to another effect. I figure i could always get another delay like the digidelay or dd-5/6 but i figure if the dd-20 can do both, then that saves space and money.

Members Lanefair Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 You need a looper. I use my DD20 in a looper for other reasons, but the delays do trail off immediately as a result. If you want to use trails you can just turn off the dd20 instead of the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members putdownripoff Posted January 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 damn, so dd-20 isn't the solve all. in that case... follow up question: what's better? a dd-20 or two digital delays (dd-3 and say digidelay or dd-5). i guess space and weight issues comes to mind. i read somewhere the 20 is very heavy and clunky, but i figure it should be about the same weight as two other single pedals. i tend to go to some practices with just a few pedals stuffed in my guitar bag but i can never fit more than 2 or 3 pedals.

Members inscho Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 you can get it to cut off by toggling over 2 presets....so if you are on the first preset, turn it off, then switch it over to the 3rd preset, it will cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members putdownripoff Posted January 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 wait, does that take multiple stomps? can it switch between two presets rather than on/off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members inscho Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 Originally posted by putdownripoff wait, does that take multiple stomps? can it switch between two presets rather than on/off? yes it takes multiple stomps. but you can set up the dd-20 to use 1 preset, and the manual mode...the left switch still turns it on and off...and the right switch toggles between the two. but it would probably still take multiple stomps to have the delay cut out.
