Re: "most guys are using digital delays"

Looking at it that way I see your point. So there is not a conversion back to Analog occurring in the BB chip? I had in my mind it was like a A/D/A sequence occurring with the signal. I did not see the BB chip acting as a filter but actually converting the digital input to an analog output.

It's a digital signal run through a BBD chip. That is not a D/A converter. Even if it were, the original signal has still been number crunched by the first A/D converter. It is only to get the sound of the BBD chip. Turning the knob on the pedal does not bypass the A/D conversion that has already happened. I think that's where the frustration has arisen, because this point has been made repeatedly in two threads. Arguing otherwise is akin to saying, "I run my CD player through an analog power amp...therefore I am listening to an analog source." It's a digital signal from the moment it hits that first A/D converter. After that, it is either filtered by a BBD chip, or not. It is not converted to analog again until the final D/A converter. So you don't need to do anything to follow the guy at Sam Ash's advice. You are already using a digital delay, albeit one of the more usable new generation of digital devices that either emulates or incorporates the sound of BBD chippery.

Remember to use a real honest to god truthful bypass man!

no need for bypass. we only use 40 year old hand picked nos cables and have them hardwired into our amps directly from the pickup coils.

The main reason for the BBD and a clock, is probally the modulation.

That I did understand. Which is why the modulation is only available on the Analog setting.

g175, may I ask, with the extra personnel running around and the plethora of guitarists and the rotating platform and hardwired cabling, is it still possible to do synchronized dance moves and smile for the audience?

DSP is exactly that; Digital Signal Processing. It's a proccessing method. The hardware uses analog components.:scratchch

I think it would be easier to rotate the audience around the band.:cool2:

oh wah wah - i was gonna call you...we need you to some up from melbourne to help us with some logistical issues. And no we dont dance or smile - we are way too serious for that. It would diminsh the purity.
and golden vulture....you might be on to something....

Ok, count me in. I think I could do that job of manually spinning the rotating platform, because I know it would mess with the purity if it were done mechanically. But can I wear some sort of protective gloves? Or would that be...you know...impure?

Re: "most guys are using digital delays"

I haven't had an analog delay for a long time....since the early 80's. I'm always on the prowl for a good deal on an AD 9 reissue, Carbon Copy, or such...

Not from me chief. I luvs' me some TGWIF, even though there ain't quite as much to love as there used to be.

Don't be ridiculous! They're not luddites, man. There's a wooden crank for you to turn, I'm sure.

No one could possibly hate MM as much as he hates himself.

As much as I LOVE Devil's Advocating you most of the time - you are spot on in this matter. I'll get the guys card and you can call him.

Actually I'll just talk to the sales manager (guy who sold me my #2 Les Paul)...

Either way it won't be good.

Where? Did I miss something?

If you're talking, even in part, about my posts, I urge you to re-read them. Not hating on you one bit.

Re: "most guys are using digital delays"

Aceman's post is why I don't shop face-to-face. I simply cannot bear to gaze upon the limitless void of human ignorance, much less ask it a simple question.

I love being able to hear youtube clips of gear nowadays, because I know what will work for me at that point. I certainly don't need face to face interaction, so I never lead a salesperson on, giving them hope for a sale.

Just the other day, I overheard a sale, and knew that all the info was BS, but he was doing his job of closing quick and coercing them into add-ons.
Who knows.....they probably all know I'm a stroke!

Hey - I was just wanting to know WHERE it was. The rest of the advice was gratis...

I think you are seeing things. I have not seen any post in here that shows any animosity towards you. You and I may see things differently, others do too, but most all of the posts have been on your side of the line. I too, have defended your position! I see a different outcome, but that is just me. No one in here has personally attacked you. You have a lot of respect in this forum.

Get Over it. We can agree to disagree.
