[Harp-L] Re: Delay Pedals, HMW

[Steve Baker <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Re delay pedals, I've been using a Digitech Hardwire delay/looper  
pedal for the past year or so and find it excellent. It has a good  
tape echo simulation and also a mode that allows you to adjust the  
repeat speed to the tempo of the song by tapping it twice. This unit  
has a true bypass and doesn't compress or distort the sound  
noticeably. I've previously used an original Boss DD2, then a  
Danecho, and also tried Greg's Lone Wolf pedal at SPAH, but for my  
purposes the Digitech is definitely superior.

Thanks to timely medical intervention in the form of antibiotics for  
a nasty throat infection I just survived running the Harmonica  
Masters Workshops with Joe Filisko, Dave Barrett, Olivier Ker Ourio,  
Eric Noden & myself, teaching & playing for 4 days in Trossingen,  
Germany (home of Hohner). Thanks a million to all students &  
instructors, we hope to be back again in 2011 :-)
