      I sold my first DD20 many years ago. But then I stumbled across some really helpful demos and tutorials, which made me want to buy a DD20 again, which I eventually did. I got myself a DD20 in mint condition. This time I will definitely keep it and your tutorial just added a ton of value to this fabulous delay pedal. Thanks for that!

    Great demo, cool solutions !! In warp mode with a compressor before it creates a "freeze delay" effect without pressing the footswitch. By setting the maximum feedback level each time you change a chord or note, the delay follows what you play without overlapping the repetitions of the chords in sequence. It's unique. Watch my DD20 demo 😉

    Hey all, wondered if anyone could possibly help me out! I'm not an expert but do play a bit, self taught for say, 8 years maybe more, but no technical knowledge (Scales etc) or gear know how really, I plug the thing in, turn it on, and tweek settings at random if I'm perfectly honest. Due to my health my playing days are running out, losing the use of my arms essentially, can maybe play for 10-20 minutes before I have to rest - either way, one song I want to conquer before I put it all down is called Pneuma, by TOOL, and it's the bass riff I want - using a DD-20 I have from ages ago, wondered if anyone knows the best settings? I think it's a half a second delay at 510MS but when I set my pedal to that it just doesn't sound quite right? Any help would be awesome so I can cross one of my last ones off the list hah!
