Dispatch Master question

Post by _r_ »

I've seriously got my eye on one of these bad boys (post-rock in a pedal!) but I can't really find a decent demo of what the reverb sounds like on its own. I use reverb all the time so will probably be using the pedal mostly for that, with the delay when the time is right because I'm sort of in the market for a second delay to go with my DL-4 too. At the moment I'm using a Holy Grail but a) it's about as reliable as an old Fiat and I've lost count of the number of times I've had it open trying to find why it won't power up, b) it's noisy, c) it commands quite a lot of pedalboard real-estate and d) the intrusive pre-delay has always annoyed me a bit.

The setting I like the most on the Grail is on Hall mode with the mix between 1 and 2 o'clock. This is the sort of reverb sound I'm after - basically all I want to know is can the DM get this sound?

The DM can get that sound. The reverb is pretty deep and wet on it's own but I add a short delay for added depth - only because I like the Mix between 10-11 o'clock for dirt.

Mine keeps clipping whenever I use anything next to it... is this my pedal, or is it just a low headroom pedal?

Email EQD about your pedal.
I don't remember having any clipping or headroom issues with mine and it was next to last in the chain.

Clipping is not an issue we have ever heard of with the DM. I answered your email a couple minutes ago.

Just threw all sorts of crazy fuzz at my DM using humbuckers and didn't have a problem.

Is there any chance of having a tap tempo mod done to the Delay side of the DM (adding a jack & wiring for exterior pedal control)? I'm getting varying opinions from the "modders" out there, so I thought I'd finally get smart enough to ask the guys who designed the pedal. Would this mod be possible?

I hereby retract that last question, realizing it's fairly stupid to ask a builder about hacking into one their pedals & thus voiding it's warranty...sorry. I was just very enthused with the DM & pipedreamed about it having tap tempo.
