PEDALS......

[Mykoal]

Alright everyone. Quick one. I have a DL-4 and want a Boss pedal to play along with. I'm looking at a DD-6, but I'm wondering what the benefit of having both is. Is it just being able to loop my delays? Someone reccomend what I should be buying with my DL-4. Thanks.

The DD-6 is a delay pedal for quick delay and can only loop for a few seconds. The DL-4 allows you to play long loops; 14sec I think?
You should definitely get both. As far as accessories, you shouldn't really need anything for the DL-4, but you may want to get a non-latching pedal for tap tempo for your DD-6.

So having a dd6 and a dl4 together is a good idea? what can i do with the two of them... should the dd6 be my next purchased??

-It's crazy, I'm thinking, just knowing that the world is round.

depends on what you're wanting to do, really. you can do some crazy instrumental stuff with both of them, but really, it just depends on what you're needing to do.

Anyone ever listen to howie day? i know he has a dd-6.. or maybe a dd-5.

anyhow, How does he just look that over and over for like a whole damn song. It's like there's 3 different peopel playing.

I know absolutely nothing about this kind of stuff, Since i have neither a dd-6 or a Dl4

[isaac]

uses the dl-4. it's not too hard nor impressive once you actually get the pedal.

where can i get an acoustic overdrive pedal?

[mastermindmatthews3436]

they make acoustic overdrives?

[cave_cricket]

Get the DD-6 or a DD-5 You can't go wrong. YOu can loop delays or delay your loops depending where in the cahin you put the pedal. I have one and I know Firedancer has one and he will tell you the same thing.

Of course you gotta get what you want so have fun choosing. Play anything you can get from Delays to Sitar simulators and pick the one you would have the most fun with!

Overdrive is non-specific to acoustic or electric. Boss makes a good one.

[Mykoal]

Isaac is right... Once you get the dl4, having multiple layers is not that hard, and gets easy to make great sounds.... so in the end, having a dd5 or dd6 with a dl4 is the thing to do? and what is this Boss BD-2 Blues pedal?

[isaac]

the blues pedal is a distortion pedal that gets you a bluesy sound, i think. go to the boss site...they actually have some sound samples that you can mess around with to see what each one does, etc.

i'd go with a dd-6 just for the extra features it has. check on e-bay for some decent prices.

[Dancing Ants]

ah, okay. i didn't know if there was an acoustic overdrive or not..

[Dancing Ants]

what are some other good pedals i could use for acoustic?

[grock]

what are some other good pedals i could use for acoustic?

chorus, reverb and volume. i have used all with varied success. i'm not gonna get any reverb. volume pedal is fun cuz it is really interactive.

chorus is pretty sweet as it really fattens your sound. but i think some acoustics can really go overboard with chorus and it sounds cheesy.

i've been think about Visual Sounds H2O Chorus + Echo. a great addition to any chorus pedal is an echoplex type pedal and lo an behold Visual sound is on top of it. this way i could have my chorus with slight delay/echo (800ms) and still have my DD6 for the 5.2sec stuff and backwards/loop etc.
