DM, Yeah . . . FWIW at one point I owned and used 3 of the buggers at once. If you dial in numerically-related times on different units the times remain amazingly well synced. Whatever digital "clock" circuit that's in them it must be really quite accurate. Nowdays I only own and use the one . . . for my "mini" looping rig . . . and (like Mark) I use that pretty seldom. One of the stupidest parts of the DD-20 is the fact that the maximum delay time is 23 seconds -- a prime number that's not divisible by much of anything. I can't tell you how many times I thought: "If they'd only made it 24!" What were they thinking? One little tiny second more and you would have a number divisible by all sorts of useful factors (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12) in "whole" numbers too (which says nothing for the fractions of a second possibilities). Oh well . . .
