^^^correct. i had one for about a year. its one of those things where you listen to the demo tape and it sounds awesome, then you try it and just kinda scratch your head. it sounded nice sustaining a note and the feedback setting sounded awesome, but i consider it just as much of a gimmick as the DF-2.

I have been following this thread with considerable interest this last few days.I made a deal on two pedals five days ago but could not pick them up until today for reasons known only to the seller. I didn't want to say anything for fear of jinxing the deal. One was a DF-2 (just the super feedbacker one). First thing I tried was to put it between the A output of my CH-1 and one amp and just straight to the other amp from the B output of the CH-1. You can strike a chord and hold it on one amp and play on the other amp.It gives a theramin effect. I'll definatly experiment more with this concept with different stereo pedals etc.

Hi pedals 4 pv

Clever thinking, or thinking outside the square.

Thanks Dr.Bob for high praise indeed.
It's another reason why, unless you are a pro, you are better off with two solid state amps for the same money as one tube amp. Mind you, two tube amps would suit me just fine too.

You're welcome pedals 4 pv

If you can, please upload some audio samples of your experiment.
I'm sure that a lot of us here would be interested.

Regards Dr. Bob

Sorry Dr.Bob but my computer and I are both too old and to slow to interface,or so my son tells me about the computer. When I bought my drum machine I was at first looking at a digital studio because they have onboard rhythm effects but I would have had to upgrade the computer,and I've spent all my money on pedals

Well I experimented and got a lot of strange noises, but nothing I'd call music. Although I've heard strange noises called music before. The worst of it is I can't make it sound the same twice in a row. I don't see a permanent spot in my pedal chain for this.

You can send the feedbacked tone to phasers, delays, flangers etc and get quite amazing sounds.


Wow Goran that is a really good idea. Thanks for the sharing. I think I now have purpose to bring my DF-2 out of its little hiding box.

Actually, I'm thinking about upgrading to a tube amp and stereo-ing that with my Fender Deluxe 112 plus (1996 built, I guess). Then again, I have the FDR-1 pedal... I dunno.

there's one down the street with one blue knob for $70

From the talk about the df-2, it makes me think its resembles the pd-1, having the 4011 chip, and going forward all the way one the pd-1 it gives you feedback, errrr...warp. only a different design
any thoughts?
