![]() In order to have true stereo you need split of Hexaphonic pickups. The audience at a distance only hears mono plus its not even true stereo. In all honesty, live stereo rigs are purely self indulgent for the player. I'd want to keep it in mono then widen things out for a pseudo stereo effect to two amps using chorus and echo/reverb. Something like a tremolo in stereo wouldn't be my choice. I run a stereo rig live and in the studio and the main pedals I use for stereo effects are chorus and echo/Reverb. Just know that there are better options these days.Tremolo in stereo isn't tremolo, its more like an auto panner except drastically hard. If you're more straight-ahead, need a super basic digital delay, and happen to see one of these for cheap, I guess you might enjoy it too. ![]() If you're into more out-there genres, try to score one of these. Instant ambient! The low bit depth ensures you'll get a sound brimming with character. Turn a rumble into a hiss, or reshape a dreamy pad into an ominous drone. Then, by tweaking the Delay parameter, you get to shift the pitch of the sampled pad. A better use for it, however, is to nab some kind of sustained ambiance and hold it. Want to repeat a single note or keep a chord that will chop in over and over again? Here's your machine. You can only capture about a second's worth of music, but that's where your imagination can take hold. It's worlds away from your modern loopers or freeze functions, but its got its own little charm. The real draw here, however, isn't the delays themselves. It's 12-bit digital, so you're operating below CD quality nevertheless, its a clean sound overall. From there, the delay times become good enough for practical playing. You have to crank it to the 63ms option to get anything remotely audible. ![]() The shortest delay options on the Range/Mode know are, it should be said, utterly useless. It's not the best delay you'll ever hear. ![]() Whatever it was, I went ahead and paid about fifty bucks for this toy from the waning days of the eighties. Maybe I liked the idea of creating short but infinite repeats. What prompted me to get a standalone digital delay, though? Perhaps I had some nostalgia from the days when I'd messed with a friend's DD-7. I bought this one from some middle aged guy who'd still kept the original box, manual, and battery cover. ![]()
