Having ditched most of my traditional pedals for a GT8, I've been programming my own stuf into it.
Anyway, I also decided to have a crack at getting U2's Zooropa sound.
Here's my result...

Hi PaulH
How many hours of programming. testing time was involved on that one patch?
I'm still coming to Technical grips with mine...
Regards Dr. Bob  |

It took a couple of hours.
I've been using delays for rhythms & sequences for years, so sorting the two delay times was straight forward.
That's normally the hard part with U2.
Main effect is the obviously the Autowah. |

eek ... and I was just thinking about getting a GT8 or a GT10 ... my only question is ... How do you find time to tweak those mfx units???
By the way, paul, great work programming... you got a good watery effect going with the original studio version a drier more distinctive auto wah. Those staggered delays edge does are nutty to break down! |

They take no longer to programme than sitting with a row of pedals and then starting to change the knobs one by one!
Thr GT8 is actually very easy to use & programme.
Now, programming my Korg Triton takes hours once I get to some of the serious deep sub-menus. |

Those staggered delays?
Can you give an example? |

Some typical staggered delay settings...
You'll need to split the signal into 2 delay units [Unless your delay can do independant L/R delays] these then feed 2 seperate amps.
I always have both delay repeat levels at 100% and each having about 5-10 repeats (adjusted to suit).
Typical times:
Method A
Split guitar signal into 2 delays (both mono delays).
Delay L: set to quarter beats (you can use this to keep time)
This feeds Amp 1.
Delay R: set to dotted eigths
This feeds Amp 2.
Method B
Delay 1: this must have dual outputs, set up to do a wet/dry output.
Again, set the time to quarter beats with just 2-3 repeats.
The dry signal is fed to Amp 1.
The wet (delay repeat) is fed to delay 2.
Delay 2: this is a mono delay set to dotted eights.
This feeds Amp 2.

Can the DD20 do method B? |

No, the DD20 can't actually do either method!
It has no capability to dial in 2 independant delays L and R.
The new TC Electronics ND-1 Nova Delay can do independant L/R delays
In terms of method B, that needs two delays chained.
The DD20 can get something that sounds a bit like it in mono with the Tape mode, and the setting on dual heads. |
