I meant more like pre-make your vocal loops by doing a straight recording of them, and then load the recording into the CF card.
Otherwise, what mic are you using? have you considered going with something with a cardiod pickup pattern rather than omnidirectional?

The DL-4 is a delay modeller and 14 second looper. kind of the Line 6 version of the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai. They’re nice enough pedals, but the stomp switches on it aren’t actual switches- the actual switches are the little dot things like in Boss pedals and the stomps are an actuator that goes down and presses them, except they’re prone to just punch into the circuit board and break the circuit board. There’s also some interesting mods to them.

I wouldn’t use a hifi speaker for ‘live’ audio, it’d be too susceptable to damage, although as long as you used the proper impedance speaker [8 or 16 ohms], you should be okay. But really they aren’t built for that kind of signal and it stands a good chance of sounding like arse.

need a special DI box for that; there’re very few that take the cab signal and pass it. Otherwise you risk damaging your 44 or 22 and the house mixer [which they, in my experience, hold the band liable for damage to]. You can’t make an additional ‘output amp’ patch on your M9 and put the DI with that? Otherwise there are amp modeling DI’s [the DOD 285] or any ‘fake amp sound’ pedal [Hot Tubes, those Boss/Fender abominations, Sansamps, etc] + a DI will get you in the ballpark [and a good eq or two will get you the rest of the way].

I do the modeling DI thing myself. Amps are heavy and expensive and I’d rather spend the money on more effects tbh.

looks like it goes for slightly less than $120; if you wait a few months, you can probably find it used for cheaper. Also, you know the effects loop on the DMB? you can probably get some decent drones by putting a volume pedal in it and fading the delays out to get fewer feedbacks. To me, the freeze would be more like the sustain pedal on a piano- less useful for drones but better for long legato passages.

i think there’s a bit of middle ground; it’s for someone that wants ‘that swirly sound like the cure have’ but doesn’t want to tweak it. It’s not a toy because they aren’t plastic enclosures or going to fall apart instantly. it’s also not a tweakers dream for controllability. it’s the entry level flanger and that’s all.

oh yeah and if you’re looking for cheap digital delays, the rackmount digitech delays from the 90’s are available in fairly constant supply for cheap on ebay and they’re more or less giant stompboxes – no menus or programming and footswitch jacks for everything, including bypasses. I use a digitech RDS3.6, but the 1.9, 1900, 900, 7200 and 8000 are all great too [those are the models I’ve used, anyway]. They’re actually abundant enough that a few years ago for xmas, I got all my musician friends delay racks.
