I have decided to settle on the Ghost Disaster, but One final question - is there any difference in the circuit/function/sound of a DT jr and a DT (minus the modulation of course)?

I'm pretty sure they are the same except for the modulation.

so i was seconds away from ordering the ghost disaster for 300 but instead got the DT and GE for 300 from the hello music deal!!! schwwweeeeeet!!!! i'll give my feedback on it as soon as i get them!

It can do loads of repeats without oscillating, or you can keep it in that awesome place where if you play hard you can get it to oscillate a bit, and you're barely in control and it's very fun. The DT sounds amazing for haunting, long chords, it can repeat nearly forever (well, a long time, about 10x better than the analogue delays I've had) without oscillating.

to be honest, i think it might be the Tone knob making the difference

on my Wampler, the Tone knob really controls the oscillations a great deal... with low Tone you can have the Repeats cranked for nearly endless ambient wall of delay, but it doesn't oscillate until you turn the Tone up.

so... maybe that's it

That could be it, the oscillations are different with different tone settings. It definitely does loads of repeats with the tone low, maybe not so much with it set higher.

I had the Ghost Disaster for a while and really really enjoyed the Ghost Echo side moreso than the Disaster Transport side. The Ghost Echo had a lot of reverb on tap which was super super nice

My two cents is the DM does more a Devin Townsend style sound bed and the GE is more of a weathered spring reverb sound

Uh, the ghost echo IS a reverb.

It does have that slap-back thing with the Attack knob...

So I pulled the trigger on the DT and the GE when it was on sale at hello music and I am very satisfied. For my sludgey, down-tuned band, I have been leaving the GE on always. It really is a breath of fresh air in the sound. It compliments the fuzz so beautifully and really brings it to life in such a hauntingly sexy way. I have been setting the reverb fairly lowish and it adds a nice foggy glow without mucking up the tone and making it unrecognizable. Although I have been experimenting with cranking the verb and placing it before my dirt pedals and it sounds incredible for distant, fuzzy rock from the depths of hell as I call it. It is very inspiring and a definite keeper.

For the DT, I expected the DT to be my always-on ambiance adder, but I have been using it for certain parts of songs and solos to add a new dimension of depth and darkness. It is incredible gritty and ghostly with the tone knob counter-clockwise. I use the modulation sparingly but it is a nice feature to have if I need it, but it doesn't come turn on much.

The combo of these two pedals is truly a black-hole ambiance generator. One night, I laid in bed, in complete darkness, plugged in the fuzz and the GT and DE and actually scared myself because the sounds that came from my amp were actually scaring me. It is also fun to crank the repeats and go into oscillation madness time freak-out, volume-swelling shenanigans.

Oh no I know, I was just saying it had a LOT of reverb on tap, not dinky or short! You could get lost in those trails
