This is wicked cool (clever delay switching content)

First watch this:

I likey. Can't help feeling this would be better done with a momentary footswitch as you could then play guitar properly, but it sounds good either way. Or does this kind of option exist in a pedal already?

I guess using a momentary switch plus 25k resistor in an Exp socket of one of the regular delays might work, if you set "exp off" to full dry and "exp on" to full wet using maybe a single bar as your delay time?

The problem with a footswitch is that you wouldn't be able to replicate that fast finger-drumming effect with it. Well, not unless you're a Womble.

Yeah, maybe, but still could be cool, no?

I reckon you could do that with a footswitch if it had a 'sprung' release - like a robust kill switch, really.

Great effect.

Could use a killswitch with a stutter option for that.

The only real problem is, as impressive as it is to watch, and the boy has rhythm, is sounds horrible. Brought home to me by the wife just stating that listening to someone drilling through walls would be favourable. Kind of agree!
