Post by Larry Behm »

Looking for simple delay at 300ms. Would a DD2 be ok?

Larry
My two cents, The RV3 gives the option of Delay only,Reveb only or a mix.
Best regards

Yes, the DD-2 would work fine for this.

The Boss DD5's are worthless and one or two Forum members should send theirs to me. I'll pay shipping. 8~)

If you can find a DM-2 it's a Boss anolog not in production anymore that I'm aware of. It gives off a slower rounder fuller sound then any digital I've tried.

analog vs digital

digital: more delay time
analog: warmer sound due to softer repeats

I am building my own digital delay from a DIY kit. It will have all the time length of a digital, but will have some of the treble rolled off the delayed signal giving it the sound of the old analog repeats. It is on backorder now.

I never thought i could build one of these things as i know nothing about electroniocs but it was pretty easy and fun (I built the Ross Compressor and its GREAT!)

So far the DD-3 is a great unit to work with .Enough delay for steel.

So far I've been very happy with a DD-6. The main difference is that it has a built in tap function which allows you to set your own delay times.

There is one that just went up for sale in the Amps and Accessories page.

The DD6 is their best one to date (I've had 'em all). True stereo, no discernable noise or signal degradation, and several tasty delay modes.
