DOD Rubberneck Analog Delay Pedal with Tap Tempo

What’s that Rubberneck do?

Have you ever dabbled in noise creation with your rig? If so, you know that manipulating a delay’s time and feedback can yield incredible sounds. The Rubberneck recognizes this and makes achieving these sounds a breeze. Players can playfully indulge in the spirit of live experimentation without the pain of hunching over a stompbox to turn knobs. When corresponding LED knobs are active, holding either Rubberneck footswitch down will create momentary expressive changes to feedback, pitch, and time. The pedal’s namesake Rubberneck mode creates a “rubber band” stretch effect with a ramp-like character, and it shortens or elongates the delay time depending on where the LED is set. Counterclockwise Rubberneck adjustments yield diving stretch tones, while clockwise adjustments temporarily shorten and compress delay time for the subtle addition of pitch-bent repeats.

Regen adjust: momentary feedback

The right-side Regen Adjust LED creates momentary feedback that lasts until the held right footswitch is released (the Regen LED also doubles as a tap tempo indicator light). Regen Adjust churns out subtle pad-like textures at lower levels, but when cranked, they can quickly devolve into pulsating synth-like self-oscillation that lasts indefinitely. Try placing your favorite fuzz into the Rubberneck’s FX loop for game-changing tones and let Regen Adjust run wild with thick mangled repeats.

Tone tweakers rejoice: tail switching and FX loop built right in!

Delay fans are regularly forced to pick between true bypass pedals with no delay tails or a buffered pedal with the tails. Both have their merits, and Rubberneck lets you choose with an accessible 3-way toggle — no internal dip switches, screwdrivers, or everlong commitment to one setting. Moreover, a third “no-dry” tail mode mutes your incoming guitar single for a fully wet output saturated with delay. The “no-dry” mode is a welcome inclusion for players looking to explore ambient soundscapes, volume swells, or pedal steel tones that transcend the limits of electric guitar.
