I was hoping you could plug an expression pedal in it and use it for feedback/level/something else.. GV there is an input for tap tempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StrangeDay Posted March 22, 2005 Author Members Share Posted March 22, 2005 Here is a really great setting originally posted by dethink on 2/2/05. This setting also sounds great clean and with humbuckers. Originally posted by dethink i was playing around with my new DD-20 last night, and stumbled on the greatest shoegaze fuzz sound with the least number of pedals and without the need of studio magic.1) get a guitar with single coils if you don't already have one.2) feed a RAT into an amp on the verge of breakup, and set the distortion between 12:00 and 2:00 to suit your tastes.3) stick a DD-20 in between the amp and the RAT, and make a preset with the following:- delay model on "modulate"- effect level at 100%- feedback at 3:00- tone at 12:00- delay set to 330ms- depth set to 100%- resonance set to 80%and start from there. i tried turning the delay time back a bit so there's not so much trail off when you stop playing, but the combination of the high feedback and delay time masks the modulation so you have that bit of swirl and slight pitch-bending buried a bit in the mix...otherwise, it sounds like you have a jacked up chorus pedal on in the background, and the modulation end of things is a bit too up-front for my liking.

Members TJ000 Posted March 22, 2005 Members Share Posted March 22, 2005 Any of you mess around with setting it with the 4db boost? You can do something where you get some extra gain out of it and I was curious... TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cqc6 Posted March 23, 2005 Members Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hey, I am getting gas from this thread. Hows the bypass in this delay? What power supply are you using with this? Thanks all, I think I want one-!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buffer is sweet, I've had mine nearly two years and it's the best delay I ever owned ... I sold a Space Echo I liked it so much. Standard 9 volt power supply ... amazing delay.

Members cqc6 Posted March 23, 2005 Members Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hey, I thought the Pedal Power2's 9volt outlets didnt have enough MA's to run the DD20? Isnt the DD20 200MA's? Just checking. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hammerhead Posted March 23, 2005 Members Share Posted March 23, 2005 Yes, but Pedal Power 2's have been shipping (soon to be designated PP2+) since roughly Oct/Nov '04 with 200mA capabilities on output's 5&6 (the "Line 6" ones). Just keep one of those on the normal 9V setting and it'll power the DD-20 perfectly. For PP2's made before the above date, you might want to contact VL to see if they will do an upgrade for you on those two outputs if you use/want to use the DD-20 or any of other Boss twin pedals, I presume.

Members mightyquinn Posted March 23, 2005 Members Share Posted March 23, 2005 Well here are some thing I don;t like about my DD-20. No smooth speed changes, can't 'pitch' it without digital glitches. Won't self oscilate which goes hand in hand with the 'pitching'. No expression speed control. I really enjoying my MXR analog delay. I added an expression jack for speed control. What I think sounds really cool is to play a chord or note and just very slighty move the speed up or down, ever so slightly. If you swell it up just a little it sounds like the note or chord is blooming. If you do it down it gives it a dark vibe. Way cool, super subtle, can't be done with my DD-20. So the DD-20 sucks ass because even though it won;t do these things it is still sucha kick ass delay that I can now not part with either of the board!!! Fuck! Two HUGE ass delays and I NEED them both. I hate you DD-20, I love you DD-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the analogue setting for long delays, the deteriation of the repeat is lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cqc6 Posted March 23, 2005 Members Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hey, Thanks so much for the info guy's. I was set on a DD-6 but now i want a DD-20.

Its a big price difference but now I need both. I can't part with my self oscillating echos on the DE7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StrykeBack Posted March 24, 2005 Members Share Posted March 24, 2005 yes it is a great pedal. I love mine. had a friend that actually knows how to play try it out while I tweaked it and got some lovely violin like tones with the reverse mode with a super long delay. I'd like some more Edge like delay settings How are you guys setting up the analog delays? I haven't used that mode too much since I haven't found anything to great in that mode...now the double and smooth delay rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StrykeBack Posted March 25, 2005 Members Share Posted March 25, 2005 violin tones with the reverse mode? never heard it can do that Hmm. Come to think of it. He might have been using his ebow. Then do the reverse mode with about a 1600 delay. I know some people think an ebow is useless...I think its an excellent tool when you really know how to use one.

Members Six Degrees Posted March 25, 2005 Members Share Posted March 25, 2005 The DD-20 is one nice pedal...I find myself spending hours just noodling around with the modulate delay setting in my room. I haven't gigged with it yet, though; any suggestions on how to maximize its potential? Cheers.-SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
