It's funny, but I have never gotten that deeply into using delay.

As a percussionist,  I decided early on not to put tons of energy into 
three instruments:
the congas,  the djembe and the tablas for the reason that they were so 
popular that
I reasoned it would be difficult to create a truly unique voice on the 
instrument.

I think due to the ubiquity of digital delay in our own community, I've 
had the same approach.

In the same breath,  reading about the DD-20 has me curious.
As fate would have it,  money is unbelievably tight since the recession 
and the last looping
festival so I'd have to sell a lot of equipment before I can buy even 
one of them.

Also,  I'm just in love with distortion and fuzz and string instruments, 
lately so my world is
overfull.    this is the first year that I've actually felt like some 
kind of guitarist.  I've always wanted to
play and always been intimidated by it.   But I actually jumped in and 
play plucked string instruments
more than any other instrument in my life right now and I'm in love with 
it.
