New Yamaha looping/delay device
I know it was mentioned previously by someone else, but here's another link
to Yamaha's new delay unit
http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM02/Content/Yamaha/PR/UD-Stomp.html
that was introduced at NAMM. Based on the 4 footswitches, and relative
simplicity of the control layout, I was quick to assume this was Yamaha's
answer to the Line6 DL4. However after just having read the manual
available at www.yamahaguitars.com I realize that for better or worse,
this
is one complex box. Definitely not the plug-in-and-play device that the
DL4
is. The manual is a very dry read, and after having been through it a
couple of times I'm still trying to get my head around it. And this is
after having spent 10 years with a TC 2290. I suppose for those just
looking for a "DL4 with user presets and MIDI", this will be a
disappointingly user-unfriendly device. For those looking for lots of
tweaking and knob-twiddling potential, I suppose this box will be of
serious
interest. Either way, there seem to be some interesting concepts at work.
I wish it was a little more intuitive though. Anybody else looked at this
thing?
