Digitech DOD Rubberneck Analogue Delay Guitar Effects Pedal
Product
Information:
The new DOD Rubberneck Analog Delay
has double the features with the cool new double-wide chassis. The
Rubberneck boasts over a second of warm and musical 100% analog
repeats you crave, along with tap-tempo, subdivisions, and tails.
Double concentric knobs give you independent control of the
Modulation Rate and Depth as well as Gain and Tone of the delay.
Double footswitches allow for
unique extended features like user customizable momentary control of
oscillation and momentary control of the dizzying pitch sweep of
“Rubbernecking.” These extended features are controlled by
individual clear mini knobs that double as multi-color LED status
indicators. Feedback loop send/return, remote footswitch control,
true bypass, and rugged metal construction, make the Rubberneck
Analog Delay the must have delay of the year.
The Rubberneck also has jacks to allow FS3X 3-button remote foot
switching, and a send and return so you can add external effects to
the delay path.
The DOD Rubberneck uses a 9VDC power supply to easily integrate into
your existing pedalboard.
DOD Rubberneck Analog Delay Tips
and Tricks:
“Repeat Hold” and the Regen Momentary Repeats Knob Connection
When a suitable momentary Regen Adjust setting has been found you
may want to keep it going to either play over (by bypassing the
Rubberneck with Tails ON) or to add to the mayhem. This is
accomplished by holding down the Tap-Tempo footswitch to allow regen
to begin, then turning the repeats knob to roughly 3:00 and then
release the momentary. The repeating part will continue to play and
can be manipulated on the fly.
Simulating Tape Delay
To simulate flutter and stretch, set the Rate at ~1:00 and the Depth
at ~2:30-3:00
Set the tone @ ~1:30-2:00, this will cut the bass on successive
repeats like a tape delay.
Encouraging Oscillation
By turning up the Gain control
By turning up the Tone control
Killing Oscillation
Turn down the Repeats control
Turn down the Gain control
Keep the Momentary Regen Adjust all the way counter-clockwise, then
when you hold down the momentary control it will kill any current
regen/oscillation
Tapping in Tempo While Bypassed
Tap Tempo is still being sensed when the Rubberneck is bypassed, so
tempos can be set at any time.
Initial Repeat Too “Crunchy”
With very sharp and loud pick attack the input to the BBD may be hot
enough to cause distortion, while this is part of the sound of the
Rubberneck, it can also be minimized. To help smooth the repeat
attack try setting the Gain control to ~9:00. This will round-off
the initial attack transient.
Neato Modulation Anomalies
There are a couple of locations in the travel of the Modulation
Depth where the modulation nulls and the waveform gets a little
chaotic just before and just after the null. We chose to keep these
in because there are some very cool sounds to be found on either
side of the null.
Optional FS3X 3-Button Footswitch Control
The optional FS3X controls the following features from Left to
Right:
Switch 1: Instant Rubbernecking
