Re: Newbie! (DD 20 question)

Hello Ted, or anyone else savy to this question

When going through the DD 20 in delay mode (100% or near) can you cut off your input at some point, meaning can you get some loops (delays) going and then hit the pedal again and play over the delaying loops dry? 

BTW  I was at a small experimental gig in the local art museum which featured Keith Rowe last night. Not a looper per se, but a pretty big guy in the electro acoustic field. He lives here now in West France. 

Just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks for any info.  Still looking for the right pedal. Was leaning towards a used boomerang, but they've been going quite dear on ebay of late. Don't really fancy the rc 20 stuff. Not sure I really want to bridge out to the laptop set up either, afraid I'd or someone else would spill beer all down it's front. Sticking with my Headrush for the mo, until illumination comes from above. It's just so damn short if you want to overdub

I  use it on both voice and instruments. I also use a Boss digital delay on the voice, which I play around with when my hands are free. 

Am now waiting for my Lexicon Vortex which I got off ebay to arrive!!!

thanks anyone

The DD-20 is something I've frequently used.

I've owned up to 3 of them at a time and I still own one.

To my knowledge, the maximum delay time is 23 seconds.

Unless Boss has upgraded the memory on the things, I suspect it still is.

You might want to check, if this is important to you, before you buy.

On the other side, it is a useful pedal indeed.

Like you said, I too use the Delay Mode at (or near) 100% feedback instead of the Loop Mode.

Loop Mode reminded me too much of the RC-20 -- which I owned for less than a week and took right back to Guitar Center for  refund/trade-in on another DD-20.

Having lops that at least have the possibility of decay and change seems a lot more musically useful and normal.

There's my 2 cents.

Good luck and welcome aboard.
