DigiTech X-Series Digital Delay

Sound,Sound,Sound je generalno dobar,veoma upotrebljiv dok crvena dioda svetluca.Kad crvena dioda prestane da .....Zamerka:Ova pedala u "BP" menja originalni sound u totalno novi.Ako vam taj tek rodjeni zvuk ne prija - cela prica o dileju nema smisla.

Jos se prilagodjavam novom zvuku,sto znaci da nije los (definitivno nije bolji od originalnog).A|B svicer je jedno od resenja kako povratiti stari isprobani sound a pritom zadrzati DIGI u svom arsenalu.Gitara koju volim je Telecaster + Handmade vrat(Kiki hvala).Zatim Wah-wah Dunlop Cry Baby,Boss super OD 1,pojacalo Fender 30 - tube amp.

I just wanted to add to what the last guy said ... I had two of these pedals (I bought mine when they had the buy 2 get a third three), in an attempt to capture that my bloody valentine sound. anyway, they were pretty good pedals and tape mode sounded good, but that low level noise was present on both of them! it wasn't awful, but did irritate the shit out of me after a while. it wasn't battery related (by the way, these pedals consume batteries at an amazing rate) and i tried several different adaptors, all with the same result. who knows what the problem was, but i sold both of them after 6-7 months - still looking for a good replacement - probably go the guyatone micro delay route ...

not trying to slam this pedal - i did like it, but that noise was present on both of mine (and i don't remember it when i demoed it in the store or i most certainly wouldn't have bought it), so it probably isn't just a fluke that other people notice it. anyway, not a bad pedal.

if you are familliar with pedal delays this is no more difficult to use...

the tape mode is mostly what i use but the mod delay mode is nice also-overall i like the vibe better than the Boss DD5 and DD6 i had but recently noticed some low level but ugly clock/DSP noise(not hiss) when pedal is on(a little more when in tap tempo mode)...most of the time it's not noticeable even for recording but it's there and if you are picky it may bug you.

don't even think of using without an adaptor! it is still working fine after a few months and there is no reason it shouldn't be working for a long time.

took a chance on this after being a Boss pedal user for a long time-the sounds are more preferable to me but the weird noise is a drag...it just shouldn't do that. i don't know if i'd get another one-maybe i'd spring for a Boss with the high cut mod or look into something else altogether.

It's not the easiest to get good settings out of but given a little time with the unit and it gets easier and easier.

It's not noisy at all and the effects are very acurately tuned with the level knob. You can go from a little echo to an exact replica of what you just played. I use it with my bass amp, but you can hook it up to 2 amps and have the delay repeat back and forth between the 2 for an extremely long time. Granted only 4 seconds gets saved but you can keep adding and over dubbing.

The loop feature really helps with my bass because I can create a small drum beat/tempo then just add and save when I think of something. I haven't tried that slow drop off method, but it sounds good.

Tape delay is excellent and I've kept mainly to that so far. Reverse is shady at best. I'm not sure what exact it does but playing to it is hard.

The lower bass notes don't sound incredible or anything but it recreates your notes almost exactly so whatever.

This is my first Digitech pedal. Almost all my friends have some version of a multiple effects pedal. All their pedals have had some sort of problem so I'm a little scared for the future. This one feels solid, though.

Haven't dealt with them.

I have a very humble rack of floor effects and this one fits nicely between my bass overdrive and bass wah. I'd rather have it than not have it and I'm sure I'll find many uses for it.

This is a reveiw for my second one.The first one wasn't broke its just they don't tell you that the thing takes a loud crackling dump when the battery dies.And the manual says average battery life is 4 whole whoopping hrs.More like 2 in mine. USE A POWER SUPPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS THING ATE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY AND ASKED FOR SECONDS!!Anyway,its pretty easy but the destructions need to be read for trhe looper and tap tempo,if you choose to use them,which I do not.

Excelent!!! The tape echo is great I use it solely on tape with a slap back delay setting.Sounds awsome.The delays are nice to but I prefer tape siml.The chourus delay is beutiful on clean arpegios and chords.The only faults here are the looper is only 4 seconds,but I don't get into that crap anyhow.And the reverse plays your origanal notes befor the reversed ones which makes it pretty useless.

DO NOT USE BATTERIES FOR THIS THING GET A POWER SUPPLY!!!I use a Visual sound one spot adapter to ower all my FX,this is a great DC supply for $25 it powers 5 pedals.Anyway,I've had it 6mo and no problems with a power supply hooked up instead of batteries.You'll think it has a short when the batteries die though,cause it nakes a crackling fart noise,thst why I say use a supply.

??

I like it it sounds about as good as a pedal delay can sound.I think it tops Boss.GET A POWER SUPPLY!!

its easy enough, like most things......just give it a little time to get used to it

the sound is very good. actually i cannot get a bad sound, i may have the wrong setting for the tempo/tone, but it is still a great sound. you just have to find the right settings for the song. i use a les paul studio into a marshall plexi or twin reverb (clean), this pedal sounds great on it all.

they did a great job with this one

looks very sturdy, so far it has help up 3 months just fine.
i try to give it time before submiting reviews, so i can give you the real low-down

i dont have a problem but if i do these guys will hear about it, and respond with the quickness they shall.........no - they better

i really like all the sounds this little box can produce. it can do so many things, so there is no need to say anymore, it would probably work in most situations.

my only complaint is the small knobs. well, they arent real small, but you know. my wife says my peepee is too small, but she still enjoys it, so i can learn to live with this flaw. she should be glad its not any bigger, because i smack her with it all the time......oh yeah, the pedal.
IF YOU NEED A GOOD DIGITAL DELAY WITH MANY TRIX....GO GET IT!

One great feature about this pedal is you can take like the four second delay,set it at maybe three O'clock (7-8).
Now play something and it repeats at four second intervals and slowly
fades away right
After you got a good groove happening, TURN THE KNOB ALL THE WAY TO TEN.THIS WILL SAVE YOUR SOUND AS A LOOP.Back it off to seven, add more to the loop and turnit up to capture the new additions to the loop, and so on.
This is NOT the loop setting #7, it's 1-4 second delay #3.
This is a great feature. It pretty much means the pedal needs to be
raised to hand level, and for me this is ok because the tap tempo is way to stiff. I've thought about changing the tension spring to something lighter.
I have a two level pedalboard.The bottom is for my foot controled gear
(Line6 DDL delay pedal, Pedalracks true bypass looping strip-this switches my gear in and out of my signal chain, and a korg volume pedal).
On the top level I have my great PODxt,the MagicStomp,and three
X-Series pedals, the reverb,synth wah,and the delay.
I also have two rack space processers(LexiconMPX100,DigitechTSR12)sitting piggie back on an angle in the back top area.

Here's my chain
G&L ASAT > Pedalracks True Bypass Strip (T/B)> out to Rack gear > (T/B)> MagicStomp,Synthwah,Delay,Reverb > (T/B)> PODxt > (T/B) >
Line6 delay pedal stereo out > Two Power Engine 60's (speaker cab and power amps designed to be as tranparent as can be)
All my gear is as clean and as transparent and unaffected as I can make it. Of course, when combining fx together, to much and it can get
noisy. I use as little gating as I can.
The Digidelay is clean sounding and the delays are musical.
As I said earlier, capturing loops and playing and layering and evolving the loop is some thing I love to do. Bill Frisell plays with loops in real time and he has an old eight second digitech delay that
does the same thing as this new pedal.
The sound is argueably better than that old Frisell delay, but in his hands that old delay simply sings. This is the new generation of that
pedal.
I dig it.

Pretty standard fare for a cheap delay, you don?t have to be a quantum physicist to operate it.
I?m not a fan of the knob placement choice? not too friendly for edge of shoe tweaking.

Settings 1, 2, and 3?(10Msec. to 4 sec.) sound pretty good. Doesn?t degrade too much, but isn?t quite warm enough.. its digital, go fig..
Setting 4 (tape) mediocre [at best] in tape delay emulation.
Setting 5 (mod) is decent, but the chorus can get old really quick.
Setting 6 (reverse) no? no? no?. ?how many times do people have to point out that original signal over reverse sounds like crap? Bad, bad Digitech! Shame on you!
Setting 7 (loop) meh? If you want looping, buy something dedicated to looping.

If you are thinking of buying this pedal or are dead set on it:
Take it out of the box at the store, sit down w/ it for more than a half hour and if it still works, buy THAT one. You?ll have to go through a battery or two, but that?s the clerk?s problem, not yours.
It eats batteries faster than a fat kid at a buffet, beware, or buy a power supply.
The chassis is sound, but I can?t get over the crappy little switch nestled ON the circuit board which pressure is applied to. Not very sound design IMHO.

Same as with any megalocorporation, register for the warranty ASAP. And cross your fingers if it breaks.

Okay, say you don?t have the extra 30 ? 60 bucks to buy a Boss DD-3 or DD-6 or even a DD-5 second hand right now? just wait till you have the extra money. Or if you're not a Boss fan, check out the Guyatone Micro delay.

very easy especially if you are familliar with multi mode delays-if you are not the manual would make it clear enough(mine was used so didn't come with one).

great sounding delay-i especially like the modulation and tape modes...like the Boss DD-6 i also have the delay trails out when you switch it off(instead of cutting out abruptly)which is a nice feature if you have a lot of repeats going. also,the cab simulation is pretty neat to have on there-it's not stellar but it gets the job done...i think mine is updated as the cab sim sound works thru the mix output even when the pedal is off.

i hope it doesn't do what some others have complained about below-another X series model i tried had a problem but i m going to be optimistic that it was a fluke...i have used the RP-1,RP-10 and 2101 preamps with no troubles and don't consider their stuff to be crappy-the digidelay for the most part stays on my board all plugged in and doesn't get knocked around,so there is really no excuse for it to not continue working properly,right?

n/a

the cool thing about this is that all the 'extra' modes aside from the straight delays are for me very useable('warp' mode on the boss DD-6 anyone?)...hopefully i won't have to replace this but i most likely would if need be.

Plugged it in and started getting killer sounds right away. I'm a bit of tech weenie so I didn't bother to read the manual but you may want to glance at it just to know how to work the loop and tap modes. Otherwise, it's pretty self explanatory. If you've used a Boss DD series pedal, you'll feel at home with this pedal.

Excellent sound quality. I recently sold my line 6 flextone 3 and went back to good old fender tube amps. I was looking for a delay with tap tempo as well as smooth and not brittle tone. This pedal fits the bill nicely. Very analogish sounding delays, even more so in "tape delay" mode. I did a ton of research before commiting to this pedal. I tried the Boss DD 6 on two different occasions but just couldn't justify spending the extra $40 for a pedal that isn't any better than the digitech. The boss actually sounded more digital to me and the tap tempo didn't seem to nail the tempo everytime like the digitech does. OK, so here's my setup - Fender USA strat > Boss Vari-wah > dano tremelo > old ass washburn analog delay > weird old washburn stereo chorus > digitech x-series delay > to either a Fender Blues Jr. or Fender SF Twin Reverb (depending on size of venue). If I ever need distortion (which is very very rarely) I use the dirt on the variwah. I play LIVE HOUSE music. jazzy/tech/deep house with a full band. this delay is perfect for what I do. The tap tempo is a godsend. I use it constantly. I never really use the reverse delay as it's a bit of a gimmick. it would be cooler if you didn't hear the source note and just the reverse delay, but it doesn't do this.

built like a tank. looks like they took a tip from Boss in this category.

haven't needed support

Like I said, I play live deep and tech house. Yep, DJ music but with a band. This pedal is perfect. I can easily tap in the tempo the band is at (usually 128+ bpm) for spaced out leads and pseudo-synth dance lines. The long delay times are superb for floating chords over grooves. Very warm sounding pedal. If you are looking at the Boss DD's try this one as well it's a better deal IMHO. I'd definitely buy it again if lost or stolen.
