Help with DM2000? Can't figure some stuff out

[PlayItLeo17]

Hey guys, I got my DM2000 in the mail. I plugged it in and the delay isn't what i thought it would be. There is actually a delay in the time my notes come out from when I play them, Is that supposed to happen? I use to the pedals that play your notes then follow with your repeats and so forth. Also I used a old channel selector and used the hold and mod function....this is were I get lost. The hold function, when i tap my pedal on cuts my signal and repeats the last notes i played...normal?? Also the modulation is actually really cool, when you just put the delay on .02 it gets a nice osculation type sounds. Long story short, what can ya'll say to help me get use to this thing and whats a good cheap pedal I can get to engage the HOLD and MOD function. THANKS!

What jack is your output cable in? is your output at a good level? Have you got your Dry and Delay knobs set where the delay and dry are both coming out?

[Brian27]

you need to get a few Boss FS-5L's. Also you need to put your DM2000 into a True Bypass loop

Get a Radial big shot EFX loop switcher. The output cable from you effect before the DM2000 needs to go into the imput jack of the loop Switcher. Connect your imput cable from your DM2000 and connect it to the  send 1 then take the output cable and connect it to the return 1. Run a cable from the output jack of the loop switcher to the next desired effect.  Here is some info on this amazing switcher http://www.radialeng.com/re-bigshot-efx.htm

Here's a less expensive option that I have listed on ebay. I used a radial big shot for a long time too. Those work great as well. No indicator lights though.

Usually indicator lights mean batteries or a AC Adapter which is why i chose the Big Shot
