Delay for a DJ

[harristablist]

Im interested in getting a delay pedal for scratching, it will need to be sterio so as i can connect it through the send return of my mixer, apart from that not really any other requirements....
presets are/would be kinda cool...

but im not from a effect pedal related discipline, so im not sure can you guys help me?

I was thinking boss dd-20 or tc nova delay, at most expensive option.?

I have been doing a lil research and am i right in saying ther boss has better options for switching between presets? preset manual?
i could probably use maybe 3 within a short period so changing would be cool if its easy...

dd-20 sounds like what you need. i have a mate who was tossing up between the dd-20 or a line 6 dl4 i think it is, for doing similar stuff. he went with the dd-20.

If I recall, the DD-20 can be set to line-level input, which is ideal for your needs. The Timefactor can, too.

that was my inital decision the dd, i like the pedals on the dd since they are bigger and will be easier to hit if not looking at the thing... but the dual delays are getting better reviews on the nova and because i will be using the sterio mostly this seemed appealing, i also read a few places saying the audio quality was better on the nova?

which seemes like a better build quality? to last like my trusty 1210's

and the price difference isnt really that much considering i gotta buy the bloody ac plug with the dd, (cheeky BOSS)

my mixer has a volume knob on the send and the return so i can just adjust there im assuming? it will still work yeah??? i will just have to turn it up more right?

Im just comparing forum reviews and people are saying that the nova may decrease sound quality if chained with other pedals,
I wont be using it with other pedals but since its going through a mixer will this classify it as "chained"?

I would go a digital delay. If you're playing bass heavy music, that might not be good to line up with a dark analog delay. My vote goes to the DD-3.

its really purley for scratching so the bass will be slightly cut throught the mixer
