The Boss DD 20 can do separate delays by
programming two patches side by side. You set one how you like it with time,
feedback, etc then when you switch it will keep going with whatever you
played for as long as the feedback was set. 100% is "hold". You can then play on
top of that with the second delay setting. The only thing is that you can't go
back and tweak it without killing the loop. Still it's way cool. Lots more about
the DD 20 at
Outside of a couple of little quirks it's not good
for glitching as you say.
The DL 4 can use a really glitchable delay while
looping however and it's controllable with the expression pedal. Just check out
what Genie does with one! He plays it with his toes. F'in fantastic
stuff.

Subject: # delays, mods, boss, fx loops,
moog... for andrew gallasch
andrew-
the boss dd20 does do some delay that allows
you 2 independent delay lines for "interesting delay use"-can't remember
which mode it was (maybe the tape mode as in 2-heads on old tape
machine?)
i think i tried to use it once, wasn't something that
thrilled me, seemed more complicated than i was willing to mess with (i
keep everything at hands reach on a table)
for glitching sounds-i
thought it was pretty weak, it did not do a budget version of demo of
what david torn's lexicon pcm42 unit (which my old dod d12 could
do-which is why i loved that thing!)
to be fair it could kind of
warble the sound, but didn't seem overly usable to me. it really wasn't
doing any time pitch-shift that i wanted it to do (slow to fast or fast
to slow). yes, it can do 23 sec of delay, but again, that didn't thrill
me. hence i put it away when i got an older boss rc20.
a cheap
option of rhythmic delays is the zoom g2-you can actually set up 3
different delays in it (they fall under different effects modes in the
unit). i remember playing around w/ that a few times and got some
interesting sounds/effects. especially if you set the delays short, to
get rhythmic stuff going-
the bad: you can't modulate the time (so no
glitching options) if you try, it just stops and resets to whatever new
time you set it at, a bummer, but it is a cheap multi-effects box, and
is portable.
it does have a tap tempo button, but i would guess if
you're using it for live application, you'd want to save as a preset to
get it set up, otherwise you'd have to set the 3 individual times,
etc.
and the funny thing is: i've had the thing for 3 yrs and still
like it. it has some good amp models, good effects, and some good whacky
effects options (the wahs, step filter, ring mod)
good
luck!
