RE: OT: Digital tape delay with hold and modulation

[Ivodne Galatea <takas20@hotmail.com>]

I thought I'd check From Japan since it's a Japanese Gadget
 

There is now a DDG-1 (not M, RCA version) available via From Japan, current bid is 10$

http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/?lang=en

http://itemsearch.fromjapan.co.jp/search/list?lang=en&word=vestax+ddg&category=All&auction=1&shopping=1&auction_site=yahoo&shopping_site=yahoo%2Crakuten%2Camazon&price_min=2&fromlang=en&sort_order=price_asc&in_stock_shopping_yahoo=1

 

So it's a Yahoo Japan and the shipping will be slow but about 20$

 

If you sign up (free) to From Japan they will put in a snipe bid for you (but you have to put a deposit up, which means they take your snipe bid from your paypal or credit card and then put it back)

 

I have been using From Japan for a couple of years and they are fantastic

 

There are also two DDG-2s as well, each 100$

Slightly OT:

 

I use my fav digital delay (Vestax DDG-1) as a short interval looper (up to 1024ms), but it is slowly giving up to work, and they are very rare.

 

Does anybody have a tip of todays new pedals/ztable units (not rack mount!) for the following delay features:

 

- behaves like a tape upon delay time change (like a EHX SMMH in loop mode)

- dedicated hold switch (not momentary - just circles delay buffer until switched off, input to buffer switched off, no fade)

- delay time modulation with separate depth and speed control, capable of extreme settings, approx. from 0.05 Hz to at least 20 Hz

- has a separate dial for a delay time multiplication, e.g. 0.5x - 2x, furthermore if delay dial is already at 0.5x, then resulting range would be 1-4x and vice versa for the other extreme.

- writes slices of live signal into delay buffer at moentary buffer position, when fast on/off-switching the hol.

- stereo would be nice, but mono already works with me.

 

you probably won't find much ddg-1 live examples anywhere, however, the 1980s rack mount predecessor vesta fire dig 411b is technically the same unit, though mono. But any rack unit is too big for my travel setup.

recently checked out the super awesome death by audio echo dream 2, but it is missing the hold switch.  http://www.deathbyaudiostore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DBA012

 

any hints on otehr product or diy things? thanx a lot!
