Hey, Scott - thanks for the reply.
The DD3 hold function goes from 200-800ms, so, yeah, just enough time for a chord wash, unless you're Yngwie J. Malmsteen in which case you can get in about 30 arpeggios...
And you need to keep your foot on the pedal to engage the hold function.
As it turns out, I already have a DOD DFX9 (bought from our very own Paul Haslem - K/W's double threat of best plumber and hammered dulcimer player!) which, according to http://www.americaspedal.net/dfx9/, it's loop/hold function is 222-1000ms.
Which means that the DD3 is pretty much the same as the DFX9....
Hmmmm....<pausing>.....go figure....I guess other than wanting a DD3 because I'm a Bill Frisell-wannabe, I don't really need it.

well, i can't speak directly to this-
i just looked up the the e-h #1 echo and on m-f.com it says it has 2 sec of delay.
i have a boss dd7, and the delay goes up to 6.something sec---and i'm not sure if
i'm a huge fan of the supposed "6 sec", b/c to get the 6 sec you have to use the stereo
out
jack--so it's kind of a screwy thing-in my estimation.
but i do use the 3.2 sec of delay a lot for my looping and you can get infinate delays going and modulate it to mess up the time etc....the thing w/ it w/ the level all the way up, it gets noisy FAST! but that can be good or bad....
i don't remember what the dd3 had for max time, it seems each subsequent boss dd pedal added a bit longer of delay option, the dd6 had up to 5 sec of delay or something.
useful at times.
of course the dd7 has the sound on sound options for 40 sec, which i've
used a bit, but not much.
a bit of info--not sure if it helps you....i'm most curious about the digitech hardware dl8 pedal--i would much prefer using 8 sec of delay than what the dd7 offers, and when i was looking at pedals a yr ago, i got to try the dd7 at the local GtrCntr so decided to stick w/ that...i didn't get to play w/ the digitech dl8 much there.....
oh well...as they say: happy hunting....
