DD-20: looper
does anyone here utilise the Boss DD-20 as a polymetric layered ambient
looper?
i was playing with it last night and realised that you could have, say,
an 11 second loop running and then advance to the next memory location
(where you'd have say a 7 second delay stored) and start writing into
that, while the initial 11 second loop runs alongside it indefinitely.
it will only clear that initial delay memory when you advance to the
_next_ register after that.
if you stored a series of opposing prime-number delay times in the
memory registers you could easily move seamlessly from one pair of
loops to the next in an ambient context ... in one pedal.
i really like how the on/off switch is not a bypass but an input switch
for the delay line. that's pretty cool. it makes this pedal actually
useful to me, though it would be far more usefull if the "effect level"
knob was a true mix control for something other than the reverse mode.
judging from the behaviour of the effect level knob, i don't see how
Analogman can mod this for a dry kill switch. if i used two of them i
would want them to be all wet so i could do my mixing elsewhere (like
my 828 mkII)
i suppose i could always put one of them out-of-phase and hope that
they are completely identical.
i still like the PCM-80 more, but man for 200 bucks or whatever this
is, it's very nice. i can see buying one of these for the Hammond rig.
