NPD finally after 7 months of pre-order delays... DOD Rubberneck

JezWynd

Can it be used as a pre-amp like the Echoplex with the repeats turned off/down?

Teetonetal

@JezWynd I don't think so, the gain control affects repeats and the mix is a wet / dry blend, it doesn't boost.

@Erictheweary Right, I should have read the manual, i didn't realize that the rubberneck bit was a continual press of the on/of switch.... doh! Should have read the manual I thought it was in combination with the Regen press... so this just got even more to check out

@Teetonetal, thanks for the info. I have one on the way. Completely agree re the Phasor, one of the nicest phase sounds I've found, just the right amount of depth.

@Teetonetal - Patrick, how are you getting on with yours ? A keeper still ?

Teetonetal

well, I've still got it. It got a bit hijacked by the polymoon and I've not really had any desire to revist.
It's a nice analogue delay, does a lot, hard to dial in, need to revist would be how I sum it up.

I'm doing a mega board rebuild over the weekend... might get a chance to try again.

I think @meltedbuzzbox has got a lot more in depth than me, so can probably offer a better review.

I really like the look of these but given that I own and Re-20 and an Obscura I'm not sure its worthwhile chasing this particular dream...

@UnclePsychosis I'd say the rubberneck is a much nicer delay than the obscura. 
It all depends what you want I guess.
I wanted something that was close to my Moog mf104m that could be easily replaced if the worst were to happen. 
I love the thing and have been dead happy with it. I've also found it dead easy to dial in but I have to say the modulation section is very much on a hair trigger. You can turn that on and off via a fs3x though.
If you want dark repeats, or bright, gritty or very wonky the rubberneck does them all and everything in between
