Trailing Delays
TheChris
units (pedal or rack) that featured 'trailing delays'... Which means,
when you turn OFF the unit, the delays fade out, as opposed to just
stopping.
I know that some of the newer Boss pedals do it (DD-7??) but, am
surprised that 1000 other things DON'T do it.
Even when I was 15 years old, I rigged my Memory Man with an A/B pedal
and a Y-Cable to get it to trail off... Why isn't this more common?
End of diatribe... Anybody have any leads.... (that don't trail off.. :)
Thanks.

converters aren't that great.
So I bought two DD-7's a year and a half ago, when they first came
out. I thought they sounded great in the demo videos. I tracked down a
Roland/Boss representative to find out if they had 24-bit processors
(they do). This was when DD-5's were going for almost $200 on Ebay,
and I had 5 of them. I use three on my main pedalboard, and was
looking to replace them with better converters ASAP (and make a few
bucks on those "vintage" DD-5's in the process).
As for the DD-7 delay trails. Oh, sweet baby Jesus, they broke my
heart. The DD-5 and DD-6 trail off naturally. On the DD-7 it sounds
like there's an invisible soundman pulling down the fader too fast as
they are trailing off. I couldn't believe it. I used them once, and
sold them as fast as I could. Luckily, I had only sold one of my
DD-5's.
So, if you want good delay trails, I would steer clear of the DD-7.
Maybe a mod will come out later for it. But as of it's initial
release? Booooo.

I think I'll look for a DD-5.... But, I'm surprised there aren't more
rack units that do it..

??? Just make the "engage" switch an SPST that stops
sending (read: shorts) to the unit's input when it's
"off". Cost $0.00 per unit....

My Digitech Digidelay will finish the last bit of "repeating" after you
switch it off. Is that what you mean?

Yes.... I think I've read about that one...

The tap-tempo on that is like the Boss DD-6, IIRC. You have to hold it
down to put it into tap mode, then tap, then hold it down to get out
of tap mode. Correct me if I'm wrong. I have looked at MANY delay
units, and sometimes I get them confused.
That functionality is why I couldn't wait to get rid of my DD-6, and
replaced it with a second DD-5.
I use delays a lot, and the ability to tap tempo, without monkeying
around too much, is important to me. The advantage of the DD-5 is that
it "listens" to the tap tempo even when the delay is turned off. So
every time I turn one on, it is in perfect sync with the song tempo
(as long as I have been tapping my foot in time, that is).
But if you're not doing a lot of syncopated delay echoes, the DD-6 or
the DigiDelay are great.
There is a Chinese company called NuX ("New Ex"). I think they are
also called Cherub. Anyway, they make a bunch of pedals that look
really good, including a digital delay called the MD6, I think. You
can see them on Ebay. I don't know anything about them other than that
the delay looked pretty cool. But I haven't been brave enough to pay
for one to try it out.

IMO, my POD did the BEST tap tempo... Just as you described... And the
wah was to die for :)

I only use my POD for studio work, and then only when I need to be
quiet. So I have never tried to use it live. But yeah, the delay IS
good. The Line 6 DL-4 is of course quite good (though it doesn't
"listen" to the tap when it's turned off).
Alas, If Line 6 would take advice from me, they would make a "DL-5"
that would:
(1.) let you use any/all your patches simultaneously.
(2.) have a global tap-tempo (tap it, and it stays at that tempo for
every patch until you change tempo).
(3.) tap "listens" when unit is bypassed.
There are a couple of other features I could include, but I would be
ecstatic about JUST this.

take a look at the eventide time factor. It could be setup for
trailing delays.
A good reverb with trail option is the line 6 verbzilla. Has a simple
delay too!
