Ibanez DDL Digital Delay

DL10 pedal. 4 knobs. Not difficult to use if you go by ear and don't look at the markings around the knobs, but it is difficult to get a good sound out of it because it is digital. I didn't get a manual with mine as I bought it used.

Cheese. This pedal is good for one thing: Subtle echo/slapback. The repeated tones sounds like crap, especially if you are using overdrive or distortion. I know a blues player who uses one of these and he makes it sound good (a testament to his awesome playing), but he is only using it for a barely audible echo.

This is the worst delay I ever owned. My Zoom 9000's delay effects are 100x better. I took it back and traded it in for an olive Big Muff and 5 bucks, and even though I still ended up losing money in the deal it's the best trade I ever made.

Sucks batteries like you would not believe! If the batteries aren't fresh the repeats will start to sound like farts. If you buy this better plan on buying an adapter, too.

Not an issue on this one.

I play blues, rock, hard rock, psychedelic. I've come to the conclusion that a versatile and great sounding delay cannot be crammed into a pedal. I had a DOD delay pedal that cost far less and sounded much better than the DDL (plus it had a "hold" feature). I generally love Ibanez effects, especially pre-9 series, the 9 series, and the 10 series. I gave this pedal every chance I could but it just wasn't useful to me. A major disappointment from an otherwise fantastic product line (and company).

I give it a 3 for stereo outputs (otherwise it'd be a 2).

Fairly easy to use to set up for slapback or reverb sounds and various echos. I bought this unit used hence no instruction manual. The pedal has a hold function which takes some getting used to. The pedal has four controls : delay time, delay level, delay mode and repeat. The three delay modes are short from 28ms-224ms, long from 224ms to 1800 ms and the hold function 224ms to 1800 ms. There is an out and a dry out and an in. As usual it requires a 9v or adapter.

Very clean digital delays. I prefer the sound of analog over digital delays but that is a personal preference. There is a whopping amount of delay times in this pedal!!! Almost two seconds worth of delay more than enough for most applications.The pedal is very quiet and adds no noise. The hold functions allows you to infinitely repeat a phrase by holding down on the switch.

An Ibanez 10 series pedal. Very dependable and should last a long timeif not abused.

Don't know. Bought it used and never dealt with Ibanez.

A good delay pedal although the hold function is a plus. A repeat hold used to be found only in higher end digital delays and is nice to have in a pedal if you ever want to play Eric Johnson's " Soulful Terrain" live!!

it is sort of confusing having 4 knobs 1 of witch being a 3 pos switch but it is easy to figure out after fiddeling around wwith it

good sound you can get a reverb sound with a litle tweaking i got it used and it sounded good to me!! if you turn the delay time knob wihle it is on it wil do sort of a pitch bend effect but is hard to use..

never broke but you might want to pick up an ac adaptor for it it drains batteries like crazy with is a down fall.

never broke

i love this pedal and use it for anythin and everything i even use it with a mic when playing acustic.. never seen or even herd anything about it but i love it.. all i really know about how old it that it came out before the sound tanks did..
