Does anyone out there know >where I > could purchase another one of these units? DOD (later Digitech0 made quite a few rack mount delay systems. The early DOD ones were very simple with a few knobs for mixing dry/wet signal, delay length and time, an LFO of sorts, and push buttons to set preset delay time ranges (this is where you got the double, flange, delay options). These then evolved into the "Time Machine" RDS systems by digitech. Digitech made at least three different series of time machines all with the RDS line and the actualdelay times in the title. ie: RDS960 was 960 millisenconds, RDS3.6 was 3.6 seconds, RDS8000 was 8 seconds long All of these had the LFO, mix contorls and preset buttons but the later versions also added a hold feature, trigger button, and quieter overall performance. As far as i know all the models were digital delays; the digitech RDS certainly was. These show up all the time everywhere. If you can't find one locally in a music store that sells used gear you can always find anumber of them forsale on the web in newsgroups or at very least in stock at Daddy's junky music http://www.ugbm.com/group.shtml look under rack effects. They should range from $100-200 depending on the model and condition. I adore my RDS 3.6. good luck! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HELP WANTED PRODUCTIONS - Http://www.voicenet.com/~legion "Bringing you the best in Organic Electronic music since we started..."
