Guest HRB853370 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Getting the settings on this box can be disconcernting. Here is what I settled on. I would be curious about what settings others have found to be desireable. The numbers are equivalent to the "clock" hour hand. E Level-3 F Back-11 D Time-2 Mode-S 50ms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Yep, here's a few ideas.... Keep the level around 11 o'clock, feedback (repeats) down to around 9 o'clock, and keep delay time around 12 o'clock.... Mode at long... Add some OD to it and you have yourself some Bonamassa lead tones.... Level is how much of the delay is heard Feedback is the number of repeats Delay time is just that how much delay between when you strike the note to when you hear it come back, the numbers are in mili seconds.. Have fun! http://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/topic/17430-dd3-on-the-way/page__hl__%2Bboss+%2Bdd3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HRB853370 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Thanks, I remember the OP so I will try your settings and see if I sound and play anything like Joe. I sure wish I had not missed his two hour show two weeks ago. Also, I reversed the order I had my reverb box and my DD. I now have the reverb AFTER the delay.

DetroitBlues Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Good luck! Let me know if it helps. I found I seldom use my delay anymore, can't seem to find a place for it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonefish Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Delay is one of those cool effects that can totally shape a sound. Just taking a basic repeat and bumping the depth can shift it from a nice subtle effect to a totally spaced sound. I tend to have 3 delay settings that I use most often, the U2 type dotted eight note delay (over used but still necessary for some music at church), a straight-up delay like Detroit described which is great for blues and rock (you can tweak the time to tempo of your song if you're feeling ambitious) and then a slapback delay which can almost be reverbish in nature; use a very short time and very little feedback. If I just want to fatten up the sound I may keep the feedback lower, if I really want to push the effect I'll use more feedback and more depth. When matching tempo I lean towards 1/4 or 1/8th notes unless I want the effect to be more of the focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glide Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Great info guys, I've been trying to set my delay up for some slapback . Is there any added reverb in the slapback sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverb and delay are really close. I try to only use on or the other... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glide Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks Josh will work on it some more tonight. I have a lovepedal Gen5 echo, any suggestions on how to set it up for some slapback sound? Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not overly pronounced. I typically use reverb or slapback, but at times will put them together to fatten it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
