I was wondering . . . I'm a long time EDP user now trying to find ways to pare down from a 16-space rack and a floor full of pedals and controllers to simply an amp, guitar and a few sundry pedals -- for those gigs where it's damn inconvenient to schlepp a ton of gear to. I bought a Line6 DL-4 pedal about 16 months ago and it has already died (deader than a doornail as they say) -- worse still, it's now also out of warrantee. It'll also cost nearly as much to fix as to buy another one of the little buggers. Disgusted, I bought one of those DD20s a month or so ago and have been playing around with it. The "looper" mode is fairly easy to suss right out of the box. However, I find many of its other features pretty hard to comprehend because of the poorly written and obscurely laid out manual. I feel that there is a great deal I can't figure out from just working with the unit itself. Your comment above about the "2 delay loops of different lengths" baffled me when I first read it. Can you please (if it wouldn't be too much trouble) explain how this is possible? So far, I have not been using the thing for anything more than just the most basic of looping functions (in the "Sound on Sound" mode). I know that it is supposed to be capable of a good deal more. But the rest of it all still seems pretty cryptic.
