There was a period of time in the early-mid ’90’s where DOD was putting out some really experimental effects, and this lil guy is no exception. The DFX94 is a digital delay, but it’s also a sampler as well, and boasts a full FOUR SECONDS of delay time, which was pretty unheard of at the time it was introduced, and is still pretty lengthy even by today’s modern standards.
Level, Repeat and Delay are the main parameter controls on the DFX94, and each performs the task its name would suggest. It’s the 6-position rotary Mode switch that makes this pedal fun to explore, featuring modes for 250ms, 1 second, 4 seconds, Infinite Repeat, Trigger and Sample. The first three are just simple range modes, with the label being the max time for each one. Play a run or some notes and switch over to Infinite Repeat mode, and it will capture whatever you just played and loop it, adding yet another interesting aspect to this mystery of a pedal.
The Sampler portion is also super rad. Set the mode, tap the footswitch and start playing: the right hand LED will go out, then come back on when your sampling time is up. From there, you move the Mode knob to the Trigger position, and whenever you need to conjure up the sample you created, just hit the main bypass switch, and it will playback instantly. Cool!
This rad 90's delay is used and functions flawlessly! We'll ship it to ya snug as a bug in a rug. Give us a shout at the shop with any questions you may have.
