Define "a few bucks." If the price is low enough, I almost always say go for it. Even if it's not any good in the traditional sense, it can be fun for mucking around / abusing.

Re: Digitech PDS 20/20 any good?
Based on the review over at NoiseFX, I'd say it looks like a good bet if it's cheap: "Featuring stereo outputs, a 13 to 1 sweep ratio and infinite repeat function. This pedal is great for noise. You can 'capture' a loop in infinite repeat mode at a short delay setting and turn the DELAY TIME knob to a longer delay setting for grinding low-end crunching sounds. Extremely versitile and fun pedal. " Sounds like fun to me!

Defining a few bucks as approximately 50 bucks

awesome pedal. loads of fun. i got mine NOS for $60 (had an iffy footswitch though). $50 is a great price so definitely jump on it.

You just may have yourself a deal there, good sir. IF you don't like it, and IF the slow seller ever gets back to you to sell you the pedal you want to buy and maybe sell to me if you don't like it...

Re: Digitech PDS 20/20 any good?
The deal is done, on monday i shall have it - personal pickup, if it works, it's mine
judging from your reaction i really stumbled upon a killer deal/awesome pedal. I'm looking forward to trying it, experimenting with it...
i really miss my dual delay setup

You should be happy, it's basically one of their old RDS 1900/3600 rackmounts with a couple less knobs and not as much headroom in a pedal.
Insane noises can be had.

Re: Digitech PDS 20/20 any good?
alright, it's here
the delay is purely digital pristine stuff. Bad thing is it's actually quite hard to find the right time on a small pot when you have max 2 seconds of delay, but whatever...
flanger is quite cool
chorus... i don't really care about, but with full wet signal you can get veery nice vibrato
i can recommend it to anyone who likes CRAZY MODULATION... Disaster Transport is for pussies, seriously :-D
i'm gonna experiment with it a bit more... when i make my decision, i'll send jrmy a PM
