Man, I really don't get exactly this. I mean, I paid $300 total for my In Limbo II which blows this thing out of the water and back and out of the water and back a second time. Are they just running on brand name now?
I'm double bummed because UC's Echo Master looks so fucking great with a ton of options, and this looks boring and overpriced as shit.
That would be absolutely awesome at like, $125. I have a friend in a dope post-punk band who uses a DD? And it's always on. If the price was reasonable I would totally buy this for him.

Live like me. Flip everything. Romanticize nothing. Accomplish nothing.
dunno, two other boxes that let you run pedals with a mic were also linked to today in other threads, and they are both $299 and while they both have more options neither is also a delay i know its par for the course to complain about the prices of DBA but....not like anyone else is making this?

Oliver even told me, face to face after a APTBS show, that the Evil Filter was as good as done and that they would start building them as soon as he got back home. That must have been 4+ months ago or something. What a sneaky man! Maybe he just got back?

This.

Those other two are likely more advanced than what the DBA is doing. If all you're trying to do is get a high impedance signal from a mic to a pedal, all you need is something like this. Then clean boost the signal to get the most out of it.

its cool and looks great, but for that price tho i'd rather get the radial voco loco or the http://www.revivalelectric.com/synapse/
I can verify that the Synapse is indeed awesome and super useful (expression control for mix is everything)
this just seems like a missed opportunity. and at that price I would expect it to be analog
I'd be all over this if it had a bypass switch, phantom power and instrument ins/outs. At $300 though it makes much more sense to get something like the Eventide MixingLink and use it with delays that aren't on my guitar board.
Everything makes sense when you look at it from another way.
guys you make it seem as if DBA has ever been reasonable with their prices
I know you could say that usually you got more for similar money... same difference to me. As long as you get over a certain pricepoint it's useless counting features because at the point when you're comfortable buying at those prices you are not that precious anymore
welp, just got mine today and this is CRAZY good sounding. In the white on the feedback and delay time you get really nice and dark sounding normal delay type sounds. Turn delay time into the red and the noisy lo-fi artifacts start up, turn feedback into the red and oscillations start up. oscillations are so good, there is a pretty good range of in the red on the feedback too, which just increases the insanity of the oscillations the further you go. And you can then tune the pitch of the oscillations with the delay time or whatever, or get clock noise etc. So yeah, it essentially turns into an instrument...tons of fun.
It comes with a power supply too with a 10 foot maybe cord.
I've only spent a little while with it on vox but i'd say its darker than the other two DBA delays. Pretty sure it gets noisier than the echo dream, and the oscillations are more "analogue" sounding like with the ghost delay...but I'm pretty sure this gets a little crazier.
i didn't try it yet, but the manual says the f/x loop is in front of the delay circuit, and isn't effected by the mix control.

Thats a pretty good idea. Let people run whatever other pedals they want on vocals without any more adapters.
