Members sense_of_henry Posted March 5, 2007 Members Share Posted March 5, 2007 Are you talking the flanger-ish sounds or the glitchy sounds when you turn the delay time knob? If not, perhaps I need to re-investigate. Both. I find that setting the delay time to full with a flanger-type setting and making noise, twisting back and starting again can really get some things going. Glitches can be a lot of fun.

Members Michael Colford Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 Sorry if this has been addressed already here -- there are so many posts on this thread. I'm thinking about getting a DD-20, but am wondering if I will be able to power it up from my voodoo labs 1 power unit? Have other larger units that require 2 inputs Y'ed together to power from these units. Any advice on how this might work? Many thanks.

Unfortunately, the mA requirements are quite high for this pedal. The VL PP 2+ has outputs with the mA requirements to run the DD-20 but the earlier versions don't.

Members 12Bass Posted March 10, 2007 Members Share Posted March 10, 2007 but am wondering if I will be able to power it up from my voodoo labs 1 power unit? The DD-20 was designed for a regular Boss PSA adapter. It requires around 180 ma. Check to see if your power supply can supply enough current for the DD-20 and your other pedals simultaneously.

Members hugoazevedo Posted March 10, 2007 Members Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hey, everyone! Hope someone can help me out! I've a Boss DD-20 which I use a lot for sound-on-sound overdubbing. The normal operation is to press pedal to start recording basic phrase, press pedal to stop recording and then hold pedal to start overdubbing. I was wondering if there is a way of setting it up, so that if I just hold the pedal down when I press it to stop recording, it would allow me to start overdubbing immediately. The manual doesn't say anything about it, so for now the only technique I have is practicing a lightining fast pedal "double click" and hold which isn't very practical. Any help with be immensely appreciated. Sorry if this has already been addressed in this thread, but I didn't find anything. Cheers, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my multimeter, actual current draw is around 170-175 ma, depending on the mode. The Boss PSA supplies 200 ma. I gave the 180 ma figure so that the user could calculate the total current draw including the DD-20 plus other effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately i am not sure exactly what she did, but I was able to loop and overdub and overdub and overdub. I know it is possible, now to find out how!

Members Lanefair Posted March 15, 2007 Members Share Posted March 15, 2007 I think once you've set up the first loop, you can just overdub after that, and if you don't stop the overdub it will just keep recording a fresh extra overdub every time the loop reaches the end and starts again. At least I think that's what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members i51423 Posted March 15, 2007 Members Share Posted March 15, 2007 Has anyone tried using the DD20 on a PP2(NOT a +)? It seems that the older one only has 100mA per output. It would be super disappointing if I couldn't use one with it. Anyone offhand know how much a DL4 draws(for comparison)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I think that's what happens.Thanks for your replies Lanefair and Cornfield, but I think I didn't express myself properly. I know how to overdub with the DD-20. The problem is that, after recording the first phrase, if you wanna overdub from the very beginning, you have to wait til it goes round the phrase once, and then, start recording. In other words, the process isn't continuous. I wish it to be seamless, i.e., as soon as I stop recording the first phrase, I immediately start recording the first overdub. I hope this explains my dilemna a bit better! Cheers,Hugo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cornfield Posted March 17, 2007 Members Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'm going to try and recreate that today...but I never manually stopped recording the original phrase. I guess it timed out and started over on it's own, then began the continous process of over dubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnrambo Posted March 21, 2007 Members Share Posted March 21, 2007 can i use the right pedal for tap tempo and a separate footswitch for scrolling through the presets or is does it work vice versa? if so, do i need a momentary or latch type footswitch?

Members anti-flag193 Posted March 21, 2007 Members Share Posted March 21, 2007 is there a mod that i can do to make my dd-20 actually cut through the mix. its great when you are playing alone etc but it just dosent cut it live. any idearrrrs??? It cuts fine. It's probably your amp, or you're using may to much delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the pedal plugged into the CTL jack to switch between presets, tap tempo, or turning effects on/off. The left pedal always turns effects on/off. The right pedal can be MANUAL or MEMORY. I have mine so the right pedal selects presets and the external pedal is tap. It works great. Momentary does the trick. You can get one for under $10 at Radioshack (look for a keyboard sustain pedal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that it worked better with the +4 when using with a parallel loop and -20 when using in serial fx loop. You'll have to try them both with your amp. Sometimes it sounds good at +4 going into the front of the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
