Digitech PDS-20/20 loop - extended delay time

Jamming with a loop on my PDS-20/20 which has had its internal trimpots adjusted for more delay time and feedback.

isn't the 20/20 red?

@slamdunktyping Mine must have been at some point, but the previous owner stripped the paint and modded it haha!

hey, did you get this first loop of 6 or 7 seconds from PDS?? can you pitch shift the loop twisting the rate knob? adn...dos it self oscillate? thanks!

[Stribog123]

@rodrigosouto76 Yes, the loop is recorded on the 20/20 and you can pitch shift it with the delay time knob. I've never tried it in loop mode, but I don't believe that you can get any self-oscillations with a loop going because you're getting even volume "repeats".

Hey there!.

I did the same trip by turning the trim-pots inside my rack version of the pds2000.

However the sound quality went from 12bits to like 2 bits, and became very "pixelated" and grainy. did you find this as well?

[Stribog123]

@fendertwin777 Sounds like you extended it too much. The longer the delay time you adjust it for, the uglier it sounds. Mine is set to a few seconds, probably about four or five IIRC.

[Stribog123]

@fendertwin777 The quality degrades as you increase the max delay time. If you go super long yo ustart to get clock noise and super lo-fi delays, that's prbably what you did. I only stretched mine to a few seconds, just until I stopped getting clock noise. However, I have friends who have stretched it to 15 or so seconds because they like the lo-fi sound. Decrease your time and see if it helps.

@ai4281 Why thank you, kind sir.
