hey everyone...i just bought a dd6 finally, and i have a question. I know this site gives the setup for swells using a dd5 (mode 3, ect) but the dd6 obviously is an upgrade, and iv been playin around with the settings, but I cant make a swell. Can someone help me figure this crap out. The dd6 is only an upgrade, it should have the same options as the dd5, plus more...right? Help!

some stuff is different, i couldn't tell you exactly but...

for instance, when the dd-3 was out you could speed and slow down the delay excatly like the backwards mode on the dd-5

but on the dd-5 you can slow or speed teh normal delay modes, ONLY the backwards mode

make any sense?
heh

Are you talking about a volume swell? If you are, I KNOW the DD-5 won't do volume swells and I'm 99% sure the DD-6 won't either.

Or are you talking about the pitch bend like on the DD-5 backwards mode? If you are, what you might try if it's the same on the DD-6 is put it in backwards mode and turn the feedback time up fairly high. Then strike a note, and then by twisting the delay time knob, it will bend the pitch.

Someone who has a DD-6 can correct me here if i'm wrong, i'm just going off of what the DD-5 does.

Thanks for the feedback guys...i finally figured out my prob. The dl4 volume swell combined with the delay from the dd6 gets that violin like sound. I used both boxes for his identical swell, but i know he doesnt use the dl4 cause he loops shit with that then swells over it.

as soon as i see "violin like sound" an alarm goes off in my head and all it says is "VOLUME PEDAL" over and over again.

Back in the day, Tim ONLY used a volume pedal and DD5 when playing solo for the "violin like sound"

the backwards mode can sound like a volume swell. cuz it plays the fade first and then the attack.

but even without a delay, a volume pedal all by itself sounds like violin, if you play it right.
