Japanese digital delay pedal.
1 knob level (output level of the effect), a feedback (number of repetitions), a delay time (time effect) and a mode (choose type of delay, from 50 ms to 800ms, with a hold function, that allows to trigger the effect after a note is played, this one recurring as long as you let the pedal engaged).
1 x mono output, a stereo, an entrance.
pedal super strong. by against, despite this strength, it is possible that the activation switch gets dirty, what happened to me: therefore the pedal reacts poorly (or not at all) when you try to initiate or to stop the effect. A clean from time to time then.
UTILIZATION
Configuration rather simple, yet comprehensive enough. Simply select the mode (type of delay from the shortest to longest) and adjust to convenience the number of repetitions and duration of effect. As a result, the possibilities are quite numerous.
The manual in English, if not indispensable, allowing the novice to avoid mix brushes between the functions of each of the knobs.
For cons, the main drawback is the fact that it is imperative to connect with an adapter boss at 30 euros (really an unfortunate trade policy is theft!), Failing to get a terrible hum with any other transformer. As for batteries, not really cost effective because the machine has been rather greedy.
SOUND QUALITY
The different modes are effective and really distinct palette of sound is fuller. I use it at the end of the chain effects loop of my classic 30 with a LP Standard and a strat us. Combined with delays of my DOD pedals, it produces interesting effects. I mainly use the following settings: level at 13h, 15h to feedback, delay time at 9am, all with 800ms mode. The effect is rather flat and allows some of the best psychedelic delirium effect. I used a lot with a bottleneck in the way of David Gilmour, to draw atmospheric melodies, songs like dolphins or mermaids, or when combined with a distortion (always with the bottleneck) to draw sound apocalyptic. However, I find the sound a bit cold and synthetic (this will appear more or less depending on the settings), especially compared to my Ibanez AD9.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this pedal for 5 / 6 years and I am quite satisfied, although the sound is a bit cold for my taste. Combined with other delays, we can draw really interesting stuff;
she has no other major flaw, if not the fact that it takes a boss to power transformer, on pain of seeing your cock up her a roar worthy of an engine Airbus A 320. Once purchased the said transformer, no problem, so the default is zero (if not having slammed 30 euros more for a simple transformer and into the pockets of roland!).
value for money is worth OCCAZ (I bought 80 euros at the time), especially considering the prices of his little sisters (DD3, DD5, DD6), sounds, it seems, much more cold with unnecessary functions. If it again, I'd direct, I think, an analog pedal noise heat.
