DOD Rubberneck Electric Guitar Analog Delay Pedal DOD0015

Product Information

The result is the ability to create a tape delay effect that can be of studio quality, or studio apartment quality. Now that we have covered the main controls we can now discuss the footswitches. There are two footswitches labelled EFFECT ON, and TEMPO/REGEN: It does require a 150 mA power supply (a fact which, although not pointed out in the product specs, can be seen in the gallery picture which shows the input/output connections), so that"s something to keep in mind if you don"t already have one of those in your personal box o" stuff.

In addition to these knobs the pedal also features two switches – a tap ratio switch, and a tails switch: You could say the FX96 and Memory Man were starting points, but the final design doesn't resemble either. While I personally don't particularly like the aesthetics of the 'FX' designation DOD pedals - a large number of them still sounded great, and in fact some fetch some quite silly prices nowadays! It’s equipped with a number of controls that allow the user to shape the delay sound to their liking. The “ Time” control adjusts the length of the delay, while the “ Repeat” control determines how many times the delay repeats. The “ Mix” control allows the user to blend the dry, unprocessed guitar signal with the delayed signal to achieve the desired balance.The Nemesis from Source Audio fills a particular niche in the market by catering more toward producer guitarists than pure players. The functionality that it comes with is second to none, making it one of the best pedals for that market, but those looking for something simple may find themselves overwhelmed. The first consideration with a delay pedal is whether you want to go for an analog or digital delay. Typically digital delays will be cleaner and give you more out-there effects, whereas analog will be richer and darker.

But after a little while I started finding some flaws: the effective usable delay time is roughly 800ms, after that it will start introducing noise and artefacts. Still a decent delay time, but you have to remember not to use the Time knob to its full extent. What will my power supply support? If you’re good adding another wall wart to your pedalboard, then you should be fine, but some of these multi-mode units use up a ton of power, and your board’s power supply might not run your new pedal. A lot of people opt for a stand-alone looper, but if you’re trying to save space on your pedal board and you’re already eyeing a more expensive multi-mode unit, getting one with a looper built in can be a no-brainer.

The second is how much delay you need. If you’re trying to spice up some solos with a little delay, you do not need the huge array of options in a Strymon Timeline. If you want to make vast audio soundscapes, an Echobrain is going to be too limiting. The gain control allows you to dial in your desired amount of breakup on your delay tails, giving you a level of control not normally found on analog pedals. TAP RATIO: Allows you to toggle between three different tempo ratios (quarter, eighth, and dotted eighth sub-divisions).

Each channel can save its own delay mode and delay time, as well as any other parameters or effects you want to throw in there. The two can be switched between one another with the built-in A/B switch, or you can use an external SW input. These features are controlled by individual, clear mini knobs that also double up as multi-colour LED status indicators. Both have dual-concentric pots - the Metal Zone has 2, for overall 6 different parameter controls - including Parametric Mids, while the Boneshaker has 3 dual-concentric knobs - for Parametric EQ across all 3 Frequency Bands, also with a Depth control - for a total of 9 parameter controls. It has 12 individual delay modes, as you would expect of a device of this type, and has tap tempo functionality. Further, it has MIDI and stereo I/O connectivity, which, when combined with the Source’s Neuro app, gives you a ludicrous amount of options to play around with.

Use code JULY4 for 15% off. Just saying ;) By the way, if you don’t have a looper, get one. They’re a killer practice tool as you can record a riff and then solo over it to your heart’s content.
