Digital Delay Stomp Boxes

[Ricky Littleton]

I agree about the cheap DanElectro stomps (the ones named after sandwiches). Didn't like those at all, but the higher end ones are really good.

Chris - I agree, the Guyatone unit is not as versatile as the DD3, but it was certainly much less expensive. I just wanted something to give me one, clean repeat. I wasn't interested in a more expensive stereo unit. The itty, bitty Guyatone fit the bill perfectly.

FWIW... very interesting! When this topic first started back in mid-Dec, was thinking of replacing my Ibanez Sound Tank DL-5 (400ms) stomp pedal (I used it mostly for my strat and tele through a twin reverb).

I knew I wanted to try out the BOSS product line, so tried the DD-5 first. Lots of features, but it sounds very isolated, thin and sterile to my ear, plus I wasn't sure if I was willing to fork out more for the tap-tempo foot controller or ever use the reverse and stereo panning features.

Next the DD-3... much better/warmer sound than the DD-5. Basically, a very solid pedal, as far as features go, and a great pedal for a reasonable price.

However, I selected the RV-3. Above average, professional quality, reverb and digital delay, both in combination and seperate modes, and much closer to the sound of the older analog delays for a fraction of the price over the cost of the DD-5.

I use a DD-5 into a TC Electronics Chorus and stereo out to my session 500 and Musicman HD-130. This give a spatial, fat sound. The Chorus sound is used sparingly. The DD-5 has more funtions than I use, but I bought it at a good price, and have been happy with it. It does eat batteries. I have an RV-3 ordered, and have heard good things about them.
