Loop-Master saves the Delay!

November 11th, 2009

100_9019My Boss DD-6 has been a problem. It has a good digital delay sound, but the internal tap-tempo is impossible to use live. At least impossible for me. To get it into tap tempo mode you hold it down for 2 seconds then have to do 2 more seconds to get out. So if you are in tap-tempo mode you can’t just click off the effect. So I really have not been using the tap-tempo feature at all when I play.

I got a single loop switcher unit from Loop Master (many other companies also make high quality loop switchers) not quite sure where I was going to use it. If you are not familiar with a loop switcher, it takes your signal, and if the loop is engaged, sends it out to some other unit or units , then expects the signal back in, then it sends it back into your chain (an effects loop). If it is off, the effects loop is bypassed.

Then it hit me. If I placed the DD-6 in the loop by itself and placed the pedal in Tap-Tempo mode, I could use the loop as the instant on/off switch while remaining in tap tempo mode.  I will eventually replace the DD-6 with something with an external tap, but for now I think this will do just fine.

So if you have a DD-6 and are frustrated with it’s tap-tempo mode, this might be a good solution for you too.

When you add a pedal to your board do you have to take another one off or do you still have room to grow? http://bit.ly/3ZcVZR
