Re: DD-20 (was Re: Boomerang 3)



 
Now I found the description for getting up to 46 seconds. For those who didn´t know about it - like me:
"Pan alternates the delayed signal between the right and left outputs with each repetition of delay. This is commonly called a "ping pong" delay. If you set the delay time at 1000ms, the first delay will appear hard right at 1000ms, the second hard left at 2000ms, the third hard right at 3000ms, the fourth hard left at 4000ms, etc. You can get up to 46 seconds of delay from the DD-20 by using this mode and muting one of the two audio outputs. A jack must be inserted to both outputs or the stereo effect (and the potential 46-second delay) won't be heard. The direct sound retains its stereo image, but the effected sound reduces the stereo input to mono, sending it hard to the left, then hard to the right."
I´m excited how it works...

Jeff is right. It´s really good this way.
Didn´t know the 46 sec trick that he mentioned.
Have to check that... But can´t find it in the archive.
Does anyone no more about it?

Yes that's right. I actually use my toe to operate the feedback knob :) Light socks or barefoot looper here.

It's "trails" feature is always on so when you press the effect off it keeps playing for as long as you have set the feedback knob. This is true even if you switch to the next preset.

So, just treat the DD-20 as a really long delay line? Can one tap-play-tap-overdub? I take it that when off, the delay will keep playing so you can just set feedback to 100% and turn it off to get a hold effect? Do you have to reach down and grab the feedback knob to adjust feedback?
