DOD Rubberneck Electric Guitar Analog Delay Pedal DOD0015

Product Information

But after a little while I started finding some flaws: the effective usable delay time is roughly 800ms, after that it will start introducing noise and artefacts. Still a decent delay time, but you have to remember not to use the Time knob to its full extent. For this reason, it’s important to know if the pedals you’re looking at allow you to save your presets – and just as important is how easy it is to access them. The Boss DD 500 allows you to save a massive 297 patches, and with the granularity of control you have over the delays in this unit, you might just use them all.

I’ve recently come into the possession of the Gunslinger and Looking Glass, partly driven by current scarcity and possible discontinuation - so I now own 4 of those listed, including also the Boneshaker and Carcosa. How much space do I have on my pedalboard? Do you want to have to upgrade your entire pedalboard to add one pedal? Don’t go buying a huge Strymon and then try to fit it into a Boss shaped space on your board.Probably DOD’s most celebrated pedal - the 250 is most desirable in 741 chip edition - which funnily straddles both grey and early yellow edition boxes. It’s one of numerous 200 series pedals that were later reissued - a little bit like Boss’s Series 2 pedals - which have tended to overshadow later editions. DOD’s original pedals were 200 Series, then these were updated and expanded for the 400 Series, and finally 600 series.

Electro Harmonix are well known for making some of the best pedals on the market, from the classic Memory Man on down. For this reason it’s important, if you are one of the guys from Explosions In The Sky, to have a clear idea of what types of delay you want in your unit, and then make sure the delays you’re looking at cover all those bases. TAP RATIO: Allows you to toggle between three different tempo ratios (quarter, eighth, and dotted eighth sub-divisions).Despite being an analog delay pedal, the dTape Echo has a patented Sharc DSP Technology integrated into it, giving you complete control over every single aspect of the Tape Echo. This includes machine health, tone aging, delay time, tape age, and more all within that rich and warm analog sound. However, if you use an expression pedal extensively, be warned that the technology isn’t at 100% and is more for limited use. The result is the ability to create a tape delay effect that can be of studio quality, or studio apartment quality.

For example, dual delay allows you to mix together a second set of repeats, giving your delay sound a spacious, almost reverb like sound (what you might consider a wash). While I personally don't particularly like the aesthetics of the 'FX' designation DOD pedals - a large number of them still sounded great, and in fact some fetch some quite silly prices nowadays!The first consideration with a delay pedal is whether you want to go for an analog or digital delay. Typically digital delays will be cleaner and give you more out-there effects, whereas analog will be richer and darker. Coming a close second to the Strymon Timeline, the DD500 is a powerful delay unit from the maker of some of the most popular pedals in history. If money is no object, the undisputed best of the best, and our Editor’s Choice, is the Strymon Timeline. This is the king of pro pedal boards, boasting 12 different delay types, a 30-second stereo looper, and can hold up to 200 rewritable presets. Money can buy no better delay.

A lot of people opt for a stand-alone looper, but if you’re trying to save space on your pedal board and you’re already eyeing a more expensive multi-mode unit, getting one with a looper built in can be a no-brainer.

Features We Love:

It does require a 150 mA power supply (a fact which, although not pointed out in the product specs, can be seen in the gallery picture which shows the input/output connections), so that"s something to keep in mind if you don"t already have one of those in your personal box o" stuff. As well as being able to be used as a tap tempo for syncing your delay time with your music, holding your foot down on the Tempo/Regen switch will
