| Or an Ernie Ball like he uses now. Doesn't matter what brand... as long as it's a volume pedal. You can do the same thing with the volume knob on your guitar too, that's just a little trickier. |

| You dont need a volume pedal at all for autovolume swells...look on this websites guitar setup page. Tim says what he sets his dd6 to for the swells.."For the delay pedal setting, I usually have it set to mode# 3 for those kind of swells (although 4 is good for spacier stuff). Then the E.level is at about 1 o'clock, F.back at 12 o'clock (which can be varied to taste), and D.time is at the max." |

| In that quote he is referring to using the delay in conjunction with a volume pedal. And just as a slight correction, TR's referring to a DD-5 in that quote, since I think that quote was taken before the DD-6 was even released. |

| ok...I have a volume pedal, and I know how to use it...I also know how to do the volume thing with the knobs on my LP...I know that he is refering to the DD-5 for the mode...I thought there was a way to get a auto volume swell with the DD-6...they have it on my DL-4, but I want to run the swells over the DL-4 loop...so is there no way to get auto volume swells on the DD-6? |

| I don't use the DD-6, but in that quote Tim was talking about the DD-5. I know there's no way to auto swells on that, and I don't remember that being one of the perks of having a DD-6 over a DD-5 either. You can do this on the Line 6 though, but I don't like it. Autovolume never sounds anything close to what I want it to. You have no control. |

| I just got the expression pedal for the DL-4, and u have decent control with it...u can set boundaries with the toe and heel for the auto volume swell or any other effect, and when u shift the pedal real quick, u get crazy sounds. But it sucks how u cant use any effects on the box over the loop..it really is a big f'n rip off in that respect. |

hey zack does that expression pedal do anythign during loop mode?
i was hoping it would adjust the repeat setting for me when im in loop mode... i know it does in the other modes but i wasnt sure about the 'pre-loop' delays when looping... |

i think i may have missed the boat on the dd-5, but just to be sure:
did they stop making dd-5's like the nice man at guitar center said he thought they did?
if not, are dd-6's a lot more expensive? i tried one out and liked it but i don't really know how to do anything cool with it yet. backwards mode was great though. any beginner advice would be great. thanks! |

How many mil secs is #3. I have the DD-6, what should I put it to to be the same as #3 on the DD-5?

| I always just used the backwards mode on my DD-5 while using my volume knobs or volume pedal for swells. By doing the swell, the attack is taken off, so the backwards effect is very even and ethereal. |

| he used a dd-5 though until recently i assume, i did the same. the settyings are a lot different. i like the dd-5 better but the loop time is a lot long for the dd-6. like 5 seconds compared to 2. i just used both, the dd-6 for looping and the dd-5 for the other delay shit, i also use an ibanez delay pedal. |

| tim uses now the Line6 for looping (14 seconds i think) and the DD5 for delays and pitch change and such. |

Hey, do you guys get a buzzing when you push the Morely all the way down? How can you prevent it?
