    Nothing wrong with used. If it works and is one you like... buy it!

    I got my Sobbat Drivebreaker DB-1 used. I got my WH-1 Whammy used. I got my Boss OD-2, TR-2 and PW-2 - all used.

    new question:

    what do you think of Behringer Dd100 delay?


    best two delay stompboxes I've found...

    MXR Carbon Copy.
    Boss DD-20. [The DD-20 will get you loads of Edge-tastic type delays.]

    glad to help... Behringer makes some great things. I am not sure about this delay. Best would be to find a new one in a shop and try it. if you like it, go back and buy the used one.

    I'll do that then, and thanks!
  8. I use a DD-20 for my delay and I love it. I've read and heard it's the best delay in a pedal, but thats opinion. The fairly new Nova delay pedal is pretty sweet I heard too. But I agree with stratdubh. Find it in a store and try it out. And if it's for U2 (I'll assume it is) make sure you get one with Mod delay in it. I thought regular delay sounded perfect and fine, but when you start playing with mod delay, it makes a hell of a difference concerning Edge delays.
  9. I am definitely getting an Epiphone Les Paul Any tips on the model, year, etc? Thanks
  10. It's funny when I was younger and had less income I always wanted to buy things new. Now that I'm older I'm all about "the deal" so if I can get something used I will. Especially if it has personality like a stompbox with chips in the finish. Everything has a story.

    The SD-1 (sans knobs) and DSD-2 I have today I got in 1996 when I traded this guy some cheap Boss multi-effects floor unit for them. He also gave me this insanely ugly Strat-like guitar. It had this metal flake paint job which could only be described as "dirty panty pink" but only on one side and the neck was unfinished and filthy with these fat frets. The cool thing was it had Lace Sensor Red pickups and had a real bluesy sound. I ended up giving that guitar to a friend of mine as a going away present.
  11. For cheap stomp boxes I'd always go Danelectro. The mini pedals (except for the overdrives and distortions) are awesome bang for the buck, and the new cool cat series are made of metal and have got true bypass. My delay is the PB&J mini pedal which sounds fantastic and only lacks tap tempo. It's got two quite small foot switches, so you gotta watch where you step.

    True, some of the Dan-O pedals can be decent. The "Fish and Chips" EQ is quite good for the 40.00-ish bucks it costs. But the mini's are hit and miss. And, they are plastic.

    No surprise that the OD's and Dist's mini's are not so good as the regular size Danelectro OD's and Dist's are not so good.

    I have a reg. Cool Cat Chorus. Lovely analog chorus - thich and rich. And I've the Dan Echo. Both can be found at a fair rate used. Perhaps look at those before the smaller, plastic Danelectro mini's
