Multi-Delay Pedal Shootout: Boss DD20 VS. Digitech TimeBender

[MrCecilbag]

pretty close till the reverse, then all digitech and I cant believe I said that

[kakodaminonoz]

the DD20 is connect in stereo mode an de time factor in mono!?!

[sologtrstewie]

What song are you playing?

Almost sounds like "this will destroy us"

I think, perhaps I'm wrong on the name!

[scorpguitar79]

@sologtrstewie not playing anything-just noodling

[TheDancingSaxophone]

@sologtrstewie It's "This Will Destroy You." :) Their album Young Mountain is fantastic.

Timebender kicks arse. I sometimes just use it as a pitch shifter by using voicings with almost no delay You can then use the expression pedal to bend the pitch. (PS: Check out my Timebender Demo for some cosmic fandangeltechery)

[albacorky]

looked pretty close till you did the reverse echo .. then the digitech leaped ahead .. by a long way ..

[maydecember513]

The Giga Delay is a much better. Not only does the delay sound more organic and less digital, but the pedal itself is also better built. Digitech tend to use plastic parts that aren't as durable.

Digitech has better tape sounds, Boss better analog sounds

Nice video, NO BS, just the facts. Thanks!

[scorpguitar79]

@fendertwin777 your welcome!

[RinkZate]

The DD-20 analog actually sounded miles better to me. More thick and ambient, less digitized.

I just got my timebender this week and it's blowing my mind. taking it on the road for it's first gig this weekend.

[scorpguitar79]

@rockstar4jc yep, love mine. sold the dd20!

[sequalls]

does the timebender have a 1/4" jack for tap tempo controller?

[rockstar4jc]

@sequalls the right footswitch on the timebender is the tap tempo. holding it down saves the delay settings into one of the 4 memory banks.

[rokstar110]

@rockstar4jc actually, there's a small memory button for saving the setting...when you hold the right footswitch it allows you to play a chord so that the pedal knows what key you are in...

[bradydansmith]

thanks man i have both they are both fantastic pedals. however the time bender has multi harmony which makes it really hard to compare to anything else on the market

what do you think?

[scorpguitar79]

@bradydansmith I prefer the timebender by far. Much better feature set-better sounds.
