thanks man, great demo! i recently bought on of these beauties for $150 bucks used, and it quickly became my favorite pedal. I have a bunch of other delays; memory man, space echo, carbon copy deluxe dd-3, and this one is by far and away the most versatile! the combinations are virtually limitless.
Its still my go to delay unit - top mounted jacks, 4 presets plus manual mode, analog dry thru, backlit display that can show bpm or ms, built in or external tap tempo, multiple stereo routing options, no weird power supply requirements and the darn thing can even run on batteries and has a headphone out. You can still find them for cheap on reverb.
Great video!! I've had one of these on my pedalboard since they came out. A couple of tricks I used are to turn this into a chorus/vibrato (sort of) pedal using the 'modulation delay'. I think Todd mentions this in one of his other videos. My setting the delay to around 15ms and setting the rate and depth controls you can get some usable sounds. I used this for a bit when I scaled down to three pedals; budda wah -> Ibanez TS-9DX -> DD20 with programs set for slab back, medium one repeat, long multi-repeat, chorus, vibrato.
Had this on my board for 2 years. Really liked it for its capability and the four presets. It's a great sounding pedal and built like a tank! The only drawback was its size for me and since i was only using the analog and tape modes i got a Carbon Copy instead.
Sick sounds man. My bandmate used to have one of these and I remember scoffing at it coz it was "just another Boss pedal". But it's definitely a modern classic in it's own right. Still seems to hold it's own these days
I have had a DD-20 since 2007 and it is a nice unit. The only thing that's a bummer is that it can screw with your tone when in bypass mode. The plus side is that the search for a delay unit to solve the tone suck problem lead me to your channel by way of my interest in the Fractal FX8.
Honestly, I've had this thing for maybe 13 years now and it is easily the only delay pedal I've ever wanted to use, other than my Quiet Theory Prelude. I also have a tape echo machine but this is such a fun, versatile, and reliable unit.. I'm never giving it up ever. It will go down as one of the greatest delays of all time.
Hi Leon, I declare myself a fan of your channel and you band Ragdoll since that I met them (3 weeks ago) Such Rock and roll man!! sincerelly!!. I just want know what is name of tha song that you put in the finish of this video? I send you a hug from Chile
I have never tried one, but would love to. I thought you could have programmed delays? For different delays for different songs. It sounds great to me.. We live in such a great time for gear. It's almost obscene 😂.. Very cool video.. I still want to see you do a review if the ADA mp1 pedal. I bet they sound great. I've not even seen one for sale except online though, and even then it's slim pickings. 😛 Hope you're safe and well my friend. You and all your family, friends and subscribers as well..
@@LeonTodd Yes indeed. You should build a pedal board amp setup some time with a preamp like the ADA pedal, and a power amp, effects, and a cab. Would be cool to see what you come up with.
I have a question not about this video if that's cool, anyway can I use my axefx3 as an interface to record to my computer into a DAW or should I buy an interface. I was thinking of the Motu m4,it seems to have the least latency of all of the budget interfaces, any thoughts on it
Not a dumb question at all. Turn the delay time right down between 1 and 20ms and you have a wonderful sounding modulation effect. keep the feedback at 0 and it's a chorus, turn the feedback up and it's a Flanger!
I recently got mine and I have been hooked ever since. 😁 I've also binge-watched your tutorials on the DD20 man.

4:23 Modulation mode= wow!!
love the tone with the distortion at 2:42
Nothin like some DD’s on a nice 20
I read this comment four times before getting it. You win the internet today!
My parents got me one of these on my 18th birthday, one if my fave pedals of all time!
10/10 parenting right there!

Got one of these used for £100. One of the best pedals I've ever bought! Easily worth it.
I have it since 2004. Sounds great with Marshall JCM2000 Tsl 602. S. O.S, modulate, dual and tape are my favourite algos. Great demo!
I fucking love this pedal...the design and sounds are super good to this day.......it is a masterpiece of design.
9:00 is KILLER...whatever amp you're using there sounds spectacular.

I agree, it makes a KILLER chorus.

Funny you mention the CC because that's the unit I got after this!
That thing still sounds good.

never thought i'd hear you'd play rockabilly! - great sounds :)

Well done and thanks for sharing brother! Be Well Leon and All!
You are good time rock and roll man to the max😎
All killer, no filler. As usual Leon. By the way, where's the Atomic Amplify Dial It In Rectifier vid huh? :)
Very soon! Working on some new Atomic presets atm.

Agree!!!
Just got one in mint condition box and everything for $170, loving it
Congrats! A modern classic
I wish you would do this for your BOSS DX100

DD20 plus ADA MP-1 pedal would be a pretty rad pedalboard :D
@@LeonTodd Yes indeed.

can you try the Hotone Ampero ? :-) i've one .. i am curious what you can pull out from this fantastic device .. thanks ..
Would love to take one. If I can borrow one I'll definitely give it a rip!
Long ago, I was in the market for a dual delay. I kept looking at the Line 6 DL4 (that giant green pedal). Any idea how that compares to the Boss?
The DL4 Is one of the most important delays ever. Been trying to find one used for a while!
I have a question not about this video if that's cool, anyway can I use my axefx3 as an interface to record to my computer into a DAW or should I buy an interface. I was thinking of the Motu m4,it seems to have the least latency of all of the budget interfaces, any thoughts on it
Yes, the Axe-Fx is a USB interface!
@@LeonTodd did you have a video on how to set it up as one
Yes, modern classic, those pedals you don't want to sell...
A dumb question: can I use the modulation only without any delays if I need? :) Or is the only blended delay effect modulated?
Not a dumb question at all. Turn the delay time right down between 1 and 20ms and you have a wonderful sounding modulation effect. keep the feedback at 0 and it's a chorus, turn the feedback up and it's a Flanger!
Dude, is that a Hamer between the LP and Firebird?
Certainly is! Well spotted :)
@@LeonTodd Whip it out bro!
On this pedal can the axefx3 do most or all of the sounds in it.
The Axe does all of this and a lot more
First video wearing a sleeved t-shirt! :)
These are strange and interesting times
Just got one for $100
