Hi all, I mentioned in a post sometime a few weeks ago the fact that my Line 6 DL4 had died and I'd gone ahead and gotten myself a Boss DD-20 to replace it. So far, I've found the manual fairy cryptic. Maybe my copy is a misprint or something, because after the initial first few pages of disclaimers (and basic stuff about inserting batteries and plugging things into it) it seems to jump right to the middle of operating it and I get a bit lost. So, the manual for me has not been all that helpful. Oh well . . . Yesterday I bought an RC-20. I haven't checked out the manual on that yet but I'll be using the two pedals this weekend on my first gig out in a while without my usual half ton of gear. My setup will just be guitar, amp and a few pedals for the first time in many, many many years. It's like going out naked. No guitarsynth, no MIDI, no EDPs, no Vortexes, no Moogerfooger, AirSynth, SP-303 . . . no nutin' (comparatively speaking). And, since it's just the one amp, I'll be performing in mono for the first time in ages too. Stan Card would be proud. However, since it's an art gallery gig I can't be that loud (heheh). Sorry Stan! Anywho . . . I hope this thread continues 'cause I too have found very little help on the web about the DD-20 -- especially in regards to operating it in something other than the basic "sound on sound" (SOS) mode. This thing about multiple loops that Eric wrote about the other day has me intrigued. I wanna delve deeper and make the most of this little box in my new "HO-scale" setup. The DL4 was a lot of fun . . . with some weird and wacky capabilities . . . but it had reliability issues (for me) and the sound quality was less than stellar (even in "bypass" mode). One really great thing about these Boss pedals is the squeaky-clean audio. What goes in seems to come out exactly the same -- and there seems to be a lot of "headroom" too. It doesn't clip or crap-out on a strong pre-amped signal. I like 'em a lot . . . so far. But, I need to learn more. More info would be very helpful. Anybody who wants to pipe in with some "tips 'n' tricks for the DD-20 (or the RC-20, for that matter) will definitely have MY gratitude.
