Hey guys...I am a huge DMB fan, and heard of Tim's stuff from the acoustic tours he did with Dave. Anyways, I'm looking to buy one or two pedals soon, and had a few questions as to what Timmy uses. I've read he only used a Boss pedal (plus a volume) on the Dave and Tim tours, but I wasn't sure if that was the RC or the DD model. I'm more concerned about having a good looping station than a delay pedal, but if I could find a looper with good delay options, I'd be a very happy man :) So, if you guys have any suggestions as to a pedal that would suit me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hmm..OK thanks guys! I'm heading down to teh GC tomorrow to try out the Line 6. I tried to RC20 and thought it was OK. I liked the looping, but I'd love some awesome delay stuff. Thanks for the advice everyone! |

I have the Line 6 and it works great. Really that and a volume pedal is all you need for Tim's basic acoustic setup. DD-6's are great too but you get a lot more loop time with the Line 6 and tons of delay stuff. |

Kevin, as a middle ground between the 5 seconds of looping on the DD-5 and the 5 minutes of looping of the RC-20, you might consider looking at the Line 6 DL-4. It can loop up to 28 seconds and has a ton of very well done delay effects. |

DD-6 would be a good place to start, I would say. You get a taste of looping ability with a very dynamic delay pedal. My first pedal was a DD-5, so I'd go the Boss route it I were you. I can't say exactly what makes a DD-6 better than a DD-5, but since the DD-5 is largely out of production, you're options between the two are somewhat limited. Have fun. |

I think Dave calls Tim "Timmy" is because they have the familiarity of being good friends for a period of about fifteen years.
Hope you stick around and add to the board Kevin, go hang out in the depths of the "friends..." forum. |

Alright...thanks! I definitely wanna experiment with some weird delay stuff, but my main goal is to get a good looper. Anyone own an RC-20 that could give a quick review?
LoL, sorry. I just assumed that because Dave always calls Tim "Timmy," that that is what he would prefer to be called.
Thanks again for your help :) |

The DD-5 (or 6) is mainly for delaying with small looping.
For massive looping check out the Boss RC-20 (I believe?) a couple of the board members have it. I think it has a five minute loop.
Good luck picking that up.
And one last thing, we prefer to call Tim, Tim, not Timmy. |
