No, sadly the one area the 500 sucks at is oscillation. But seeing as they've already patched the firmware once before release with added stuff, I hope they can fix that. :idk:

Ah that's a shame, but yeah maybe in the future. I occasionally see people talking crap about Strymon, but some of the secondary controls of the El Cap sound like absolute gold to me. :idk:

Does adjusting the time setting cause pitch shifts in every mode?

iirc, some modes pitch up and down and some just glitch out and then start playing in the new speed. :thumb:

What about a street credo? Does it have a street credo?

What's the city planning vision of the Boss DD-500? Does it have a department of city planning?
What about the width of sidewalks? Does it believe in roundabouts or toll roads?

It probably just supports Godzilla coming in and fucking up the city.

Talk about a holistic and complete street credo. Godzilla has definite
plans when it comes to "rezoning" a city into nothing but flat rubble.

I ordered one, it was RGS last's in stock. Finally not. I have to wait, the Boss rep found an unit for me. If it wasn't so I asked to be refunded. The next batch arrives in about 2 more weeks (ordered on october 8th).

No, there's no amp in there - tone fairies and feedback goblins live inside this box.

Awesome! I didn't know they were still out of stock. :O

My camera has been taken by my film professor friend, so until she remembers to take time off to see me, no ILF demo. :facepalm:

Still can't beat a lot of the fun weird stuff that comes out of a DL-4. Yeah, only three presets, and 14 seconds of loop time, but the Lo-Res delay is one of my favorites ever and I've never been able to match it on any other delay.
