And since it uses standard Accutronics tanks, you can always get a longer delay one.

Aha! That's the one I was thinking of. I remembered seeing that page but I thought it might have been a Little Lanilei.

I was just wondering: how do two reverbs in series sound? Does it make a huge difference in sound or does it just sound like a big mess?

I use that all the time as very few reverbs trail why you bypass them. usually a large consumes a smaller reverb. The smaller isn;t apperent until you bypass the massive reverb and it trails off

i had a loop for a very short time, and when i'd bypass my fender reverb, the long death surf verb would trail out with my ampeg's reverb. it's nice.

Excellent guide fiveways, even though it's taken me nearly a week to find the time to read it start to finish!

I'd like to know a little more about the PDS 20/20. Is there an online source for info about the stock pedal? Incidentally, what is the unmodded delay time and is this a 12-bit pedal?

any sites? not as far as i know... fiveways might.

if i remember right, the stock delay time is just like 2 seconds.....

it's also got flanging/chorus on it, but neither are very good, IMO... and it's a one-effect-at-a-time box.

harmony-central reviews and loopers-delight are probably the best places for info that i know of on this unit... as usual, on HC.. be careful about info.. but it's not too hard to sort through the good/bad info.

Good read

The Digitech PDS 20/20 has a maximum of 2 seconds of delay time (in the un-modded form). It is a 12 bit digital delay with modulation controls (speed and depth). Leaving the modualtion controls at zero, the pedal is a straight delay with 3 ranges: 16 ms, 250 ms, and 2 seconds. A regeneration knob controls the number of repeats. At the lower delay times, the modulation controls can give flanger and chorus type sounds. At higher delay times, the modulation controls put out cyclic pitch shifting noisies.

It has stereo outs and is powerd by a 9V battery (for a couple hours, tops) or a power supply with an 1/8" jack.

The delay time trimpot can be tweaked out to a max of 20 seconds of delay, but the delay sound really starts degenerating into muddy metallic crap at those extremes. The regeneration control can be tweaked to yield runaway self oscillation that can blow up your amp. Big fun!

Here's the manual in Adobe PDF

What do you think of the UF-01? I thought you were a supporter.. maybe it was just Nobody and Preservation who triggered that purchase, I dont really remember..

I desperatley need to try a Rat, Im a complete virgin to all things ProCo. I too like the SD-9.. the compression can get a little annoying, but it's extremely tasty with my single coil.

Are the BeeBaa's hard to come by? I havent heard much about them at all

**** I forgot the ultra fuzz!!!! I ment to put that in under "WEIRD FUZZ'S THAT CAN BE TOTAL NOISEMAKERS"

And good luck finding a BeeBaa for under $450 USD. They are rare and totally amazing.

Prophecysound makes a BeeBea clone, although it may be just as expensive.

Yeah, they seem about equal in pricing.

great thread, got in alittle late tho

anyway speaking of the beebaa, has anyone tried the roland beegee ? tested it .....the crunch and bite of this pedal is IT.

this is the kind of thread for me, as im doing ambient stuff as well....i noticed no one mentioned tape delays ?? my bandmate acquired a roland space echo, the delays are as smooth as butter....give it a little tweaking and stuff and the texture is unbelievable. analogue or tape delays are the way to go for that floaty soundscape in ambient music.

I am still writing the REAL delay portion.

It is huge.
