Description

Edit description

The DD-5 offers four switchable delay ranges and 11 modes that give access to delays from 1ms all the way up to a walloping 2000ms. Delay time can also be set in real time using the Tap Tempo function and an optional FS-5U footswitch. With the Hold mode you can sample a passage simply by pressing and releasing the pedal.

From Alchemy Audio: I add a tap tempo switch on the top of the pedal which eliminates the need for an external switch. Of course, you can still use this option if desired. The "analog" mod is a pretty common modification to this pedal. A capacitor (controlled by a "analog / stock" switch) are added to roll off some of the harsh, high frequencies associated with many digital delays. The result is a warmer, lo-fi, less "sterile" tone. The repeats will be gritty and more "analog" sounding. I also install a bright LED.
