Re: KP3+FCB1010 vs. DD20+KP3



Right and if you haven't seen it, this is a good starter. http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/bossDD20/bossDD20.html

There are a number of folks on here whop can address the issue of
using two DD-20's, either in serial or parallel. Given their
availability on eBay, I'd highly recommend investigating their use in
your application. It's been discussed here before, so you should be
able to look through the archives, as well.

And it's all about signal routing anyway...

Good luck and best,

Dennis

The negative is more money to spend, and more batteries/power supplies to deal with.

Still it could be a good choice for building up a loop and then letting it fade away by bypassing the effect but letting the loop play on. (Which actually is a hold effect if you set feedback to 100% but then you have other issues if you do want to evolve the loop...)

That can be addressed with still more pedals to do the appropriate routing, but it starts to get pretty messy particularly if you want a stereo signal flow. Still, based on reports elsewhere on this list, it seems like one could have a lot of fun with two DD-20s plus a mangler of some sort (e.g., KP3, SL-20, etc).
