Mr Majeekas Dave's shreddin' older brother had an 8280, wellll good. If you turned the chorus dials all the way down, it turned into a footswitchable volume boost. Hell yes. Sounded nice too.

yeah that's the slightly more advanced one with Chorus innit. Those amps are fuckin' solid, and they sound gewd.

true. i dont know if i would want to deal with a space echo either.

that univox echo chamber tape echo i got is a real pain in the ass, and i havent even got it working fully yet. it needs a lot of work. it almost isnt worth it. i guess if someone likes the sound that much, more power to 'em.

i'll take the pedal, thanx.

even if it wasnt a space echo replicator type deal, i would still be interested in getting one because of the sound and the cool features. the expression pedal in, the twist mode, tap tempo, the cool color scheme, the reverb/delay, all that stuff really appeals to me.

I totally thought ya'll were talkin' about the Electro Voice EV RE-20 mic, that Thom uses in one of their new videos... Which now means, that anything with Re-20 in the name is balltastic?

i had one, and it was very nice for being solidstate (tube pre). i probably would've kept it around longer had it come equipped with a speaker out. always thought that was pretty stupid to leave out.

i've been wanting to try one out but i've been wait-listed for months at the local big music shop. from what i've read on HC, its just a slightly less powerful dd=20

Post by **Mike** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 2:25 pm

That's not true at all. It does way more in the way of Tape Echo than a DD-20 (I used to own one). And it's all adjustable in front of you, no menus or presets.

euan · Post by **euan** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 2:38 pm

Less powerful as it does one thing yes. But it's less powerful in the same was as a real Space Echo is not as powerful as DD20.

But yeah I was on two waiting lists for 3 months before I actually found mine by walking into a store.
