DOD Rubberneck Electric Guitar Analog Delay Pedal DOD0015

Product Information

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. By the way, if you don’t have a looper, get one. They’re a killer practice tool as you can record a riff and then solo over it to your heart’s content. Simple. Range Of Delays It's got more going on that a typical analog effect. However, it could be drawing less if I'd used a more efficient op amp than the 4580. I regret this. The quietness of the pedal is outstanding. It produces a bit of noise on the longer delay times, but that’s kind of a part of the sound with these types of delays. Finally, the third consideration is power draw. Some of these delay pedals draw a ton of power, and you may find you’ll need to upgrade your pedal board power supply to accommodate.

The result is the ability to create a tape delay effect that can be of studio quality, or studio apartment quality.They’ve even thrown in a DMM setting, giving you access to the classic Electro Harmonic Deluxe Memory Man sound – just in case you forgot why you were interested in Electro Harmonix digital delay pedals in the first place. Latter versions seem to be calibrated somewhat differently with slightly different core EQ, and compression. For me the differences are rather subtle - but I prefer the slightly more articulate Grey Box editions overall including that somewhat more open-pored texture - while many favour the first Yellow versions. Each to their own really! 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). The second is how much delay you need. If you’re trying to spice up some solos with a little delay, you do not need the huge array of options in a Strymon Timeline. If you want to make vast audio soundscapes, an Echobrain is going to be too limiting.

This slightly fuzz-edged BAT Mark Wentz collaboration has often been disparaged in much the same way as the Boss Metal Zone attracts unwarranted criticism. In both cases this is mostly down to user issues - where certain individuals just don't have the wherewithal or patience to approach these pedals in the correct manner. The Tap Ratio switch makes it easy to get repeats that are perfectly in time, create triplets and achieve a doubled up feel Gain and Tone knobs allow you to shape the overall sound of the delay by increasing brightness, darkening the sound and adding more gain. The Level knob controls the output level of the delay signal.

Sorry

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. The Nemesis from Source Audio fills a particular niche in the market by catering more toward producer guitarists than pure players. The functionality that it comes with is second to none, making it one of the best pedals for that market, but those looking for something simple may find themselves overwhelmed. When you’re looking at delay pedals, there really is an abundance of choice on the market – and for that reason, it can feel like you’re being bombarded with options. The Meatbox had been riding high on my wishlist on occasion, but that has now really been supplanted by the Way Huge Atreides. Most likely next acquisition is probably a 741 Yellow Box 250 - if I can find one in good condition - and at the right sort of price!

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. Credit subject to status and affordability. Terms & Conditions Apply. Guitar Guitar Limited is a credit broker and is Authorised Honourable mentions should probably go to a number of other highly collectible DOD pedals - particularly in the 'Lamb Series' - including : 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.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. 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 All you have to remember is that tape echo is going to sound vintage, analog delay will be warm, and digital delay can be whatever you want. The killer thing about the Timeline is you’re not just getting a pedal that does a few things well – the Timeline does a high-quality job at traditional delay types, as well as introducing a range of less conventional delays that bring a whole new sonic palette to delays.

Electro Harmonix are well known for making some of the best pedals on the market, from the classic Memory Man on down. Winning multiple awards when it first came out, this unique delay pedal aims to recreate the sound of a vintage Tape Echo unit, but without the notorious issues related to maintaining the classic originals. 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. TAP RATIO: Allows you to toggle between three different tempo ratios (quarter, eighth, and dotted eighth sub-divisions).

What Makes Our Sales Engineers Great?

TAILS: Allows repeats to be heard or not heard when the delay is bypassed (on, off, and on + no dry). These features are controlled by individual, clear mini knobs that also double up as multi-colour LED status indicators. It has 12 individual delay modes, as you would expect of a device of this type, and has tap tempo functionality. Further, it has MIDI and stereo I/O connectivity, which, when combined with the Source’s Neuro app, gives you a ludicrous amount of options to play around with. Now that we have covered the main controls we can now discuss the footswitches. There are two footswitches labelled EFFECT ON, and TEMPO/REGEN: The gain control allows you to dial in your desired amount of breakup on your delay tails, giving you a level of control not normally found on analog pedals.
