You always need more delay. I'm like oldangelmidnight, where my delay stable keeps growing 'cause the ones I have each do something special, and this new one does . . .

Yeah--PSA time. WWBW will honor their current savings code STEAL20 on a preorder now, but you have to call them. Save now for a more attractive flip to me in Rocktober! :p :lol: :rock:

Had to google that too and order it when coupon was still valid without calling them.

I might wait until prymaxe has one of their stupid sale to get it, as much as I hate them. :idk:

...Or GAS will consume me and I'll buy it in a heat of passion only to realize that I now have only 36 cents in my bank account and no booze to last me through the weekend, which is much more likely. :lol:

Definitely getting this to replace both my DD-20 (that I've been using for years and swore I'd never get rid of), and my Akai Headrush 2. More space and all the same functions that I need, plus more? Fuck yeah I'm in.
awesome signature with witty quotes from all you fuckers :)

Necrotism.

Because.

That moment when you realized the half-assed i-merchant you thought you had completed a preorder with just never bothered to process the order.

I'm waiting. Snagged a closeout Giga Delay though.

As did I. Really dissapointed compared to the DDs and DSDs I have though. I actually borrowed one for an extended period of time to record something (my bass player got it when it came out so it was around then)...and I remember not liking it much back then.

I don't know, it just seems weak to me and the all kinda sound samey (except for the reverse). The best thing about it is pressing the tap tempo and note pattern buttons really fast...The DD-5 or 6 are just so much more fun.

But, in the end, I only got it to mess with it. I am sure that the DD-500 will be far superior.

It *is* a 13 or 14 year old box.

I just want it for the ludicrous delay time.

I snagged a DD-500. It is the new benchmark for digital delay pedals, IMO.

The sound quality is fantastic and it's far more powerful and tweakable than the lame-ass manual implies. Sounds marvelous with an Afterneath in front of it.

For reference I also have a DelayLab, Flashback X4, DD-20, DD-5, DD-3, Carbon Copy, Ekko 616 blah blah...
