Re: DigiDelay (was Digitech Jamman - 3 Second Minimum Loop)



After I posted this at 5:30 this morning, I thought
about it some more on my way to work. Here's the rest
of the story:

A friend of mine also has a DigiDelay; he bought his
new about three years ago, while I bought mine used
last spring. After messing around with mine for a
couple of days (before downloading the manual), I
mentioned to him that I didn't think the looper
features were all they were cracked up to be, to which
he readily agreed. The next time I was at his house, I
checked his DigiDelay out, and found that his worked
exactly the same as mine. We figured that the looper
feature was just thrown in as a buzzword afterthought.
Since we both use other gear for looping and both use
the DigiDelay as a delay, neither of us was all that
bothered by it.

But now this thread has me wondering: could it be that
he and I both have units with the exact same defect?
And if so, is this something they're prone to?

Do any of you own DigiDelays that work the way Gary
(and the manual) describe the looping features?
