      Yeaaaaaahhhh
      That tone control like a digital echo Plex boiiii
      Add in one of the OLD Neunaber WETs like the first stereo ones
      Oooff but if only the Providence Chrono had a dry thru/ wet out you can send it to a stereo box with a Ø n go all 2290 or send it into a chorus

    As much as I love the delays in modelers like the Axe and Helix, there's just something about the tone out of a pedal like this that's really inspiring.

    We need to know if the new BOSS SDE-3000 Dual Digital Delay de-thrones the Strymon DIG, which was also based on the same Roland SDE-3000 during it's development. Time for a shootout!

  • @gcoller
    @gcoller Рік тому +8

    You can get a pretty convincing Timmons Halo delay out of the Dig. You have to use secondary functions to make sure it is in series and that delay 2 isn't tied to delay 1's timing because you need D1 to be about 375ms and D2 to be 500ms. Not too hard but would be nice to own the Dig V2 and save it as a preset instead of recreating from scratch.

    Very Cool, Thankyou. Awesome Sound. I have a Donner Echo Square on one board, and a Cuvave Analog Delay and a Behringer Vintage Delay stacked on another board, each has it's favored options, but I think the Behringer with Stereo out is my favourite for that extra dimension. Cheers

    DIG is the best digital delay pedal at capturing the vibes of the Roland SDE-3000, Lexicon PCM42, TC2290, Korg SDD-3000, AMS 15-80s and everything from the 1980's that attempted to be one of those benchmark delay designs. DIG is better than the Free The Tone or any others that shoot for the same target.
    I suggested to Strymon that DIG really needs a small LED readout so that the delay time can be entered in BMP/Milliseconds. Maybe at some point they will work on a more fully featured pedal like Volante that focuses on digital delays like the 2290 and AMS 15-80s and can add an LED readout for delay time and get those secondary functions all onto the surface level. I've suggested exactly that to them multiple times and offered my assistance. I think it would become one of their best selling pedals and not affect sales of Timeline which I am hoping becomes a plugin like Big Sky.
    DIG V1 sounds better than V2 for me. Others may have a different opinion, but I love the way the delays are voiced in V1. The delay lines in V1 have a more pronounced midrange and a really nice "smear" in the way they decay.

    Is the dotted 80's setting the same when players in the 80's used two delays at the same time? One was very short about 40 ms and the second longer. I have this pedal now and I would like to know how to set it that way.

    • @LeonTodd
      @LeonTodd  Рік тому +1

      It's the same settings the Edge uses on every other U2 song - the delay time is calculated as a dotted 8th subdivision of the tapped tempo. EG 120bpm dotted 8th note = 375ms

    • @LeonTodd
      @LeonTodd  7 місяців тому

      The Duotime is basically a "multi mode" delay with a few different preset delay types. Really impressive unit, especially at the price.
      The Dig is more a "sandbox" where they give you two stereo delays with modulation, a few different routing options and plenty of control over the individual delays. It absolutely nails the character of old rack delays without the inconvenience of having multiple rack units. The Dig Stereo ping pong is super unique too.

      You have to buy a separate midi switcher and possibly the conduit that interface. By that time you’re over $500. The keeley halo and eventide micropitch have presets without spending extra money.

      Similar for sure. The Halo has cross feedback between the two delays which the DiG doesn't. But then again DiG has the series ping pong which is super unique!
