Description
The DOD Rubberneck is a 100% analog delay that pairs warm, bucket-brigade repeats with some of the most playable hands-on tricks you'll find on a pedalboard. It delivers up to 1.5 seconds of delay, tap tempo with selectable subdivisions, and a pair of footswitches that let you push the sound into runaway oscillation or a dramatic pitch sweep without touching a knob.
The "Rubbernecking" feature is the headline. Hold the Effect footswitch and the delay time glides up or down, bending your repeats into the kind of woozy, tape-style pitch swoops that are usually reserved for fiddling with a time knob mid-song. A dedicated clear knob sets how fast the sweep happens, and its built-in LED changes color to show what the pedal is doing. Time stretching lets the repeats be stretched or compressed in time for even more movement.
The second footswitch is just as useful. Tap it to set your delay time, or hold it to switch to a secondary repeats setting that you dial in ahead of time, so you can trigger a burst of self-oscillation on demand and release it when you're done.
Key Features
- 100% analog delay circuit, with 30ms to 1000ms on the Time knob and up to 1500ms using tap tempo
- Rubbernecking: hold the Effect footswitch for a momentary pitch sweep, with adjustable Rubberneck Rate
- Secondary Regen setting for momentary runaway oscillation, triggered from the Tempo/Regen footswitch
- Time stretching of delay repeats
- Tap tempo with a 3-position Tap Ratio switch for in-time, triplet, or doubled repeats
- Concentric knobs for Modulation Rate and Depth, from subtle chorus to wild vibrato and tremolo textures
- Concentric knobs for Gain and Tone, so you can drive the delay harder and brighten or darken the repeats
- Repeats and Level controls
- 3-position Tails switch, including an On/No Dry mode that lets repeats ring out while the dry signal is bypassed
- Loop send/return (1/4" TRS) to add other effects into the delay's feedback path
- Jack for the FS3X 3-button remote footswitch
- True bypass
- Rugged all-metal chassis in a double-wide enclosure
- Runs on 9V DC (center-negative power supply, sold separately)
