DOD takes the humble analogue delay and turns it into an avalanch of psychedelic tone at your foot’s beck and call

DOD Rubberneck

Analogue delay pedals based on bucket-brigade chip technology have moved on from the three-knob units of the past with sorely limited delay time – tap tempo, expanded tonal options, longer delay times and feedback path FX loops are all pretty common these days. However, the latest from DOD takes that game even further by adding momentary foot switch control over two analogue delay tricks loved by many: turning the feedback all the way to ‘silly’ so the delays spiral into avalanches of self-oscillation, and manipulating the delay time for crazy pitch effects aka ‘Rubbernecking’ in DOD-speak.
