Boss DD-3 Delay Guitar Effect Pedal

This pedal is a work horse on the stage and even in the studio. Built like a tank the DD-3 is the best selling compact delay pedal in the history of pedals. First introduced as the DD-2 the DD-3 is compact and to the point.

Four different delay modes 800ms, 200ms, 50ms and a Hold function. Then you can tweak each mode with the level, feedback and delay time knobs. It is simple and to the point. A great buy and roadworthy.

It may not have all the bells and whistles as some other pedals like the Digitech hardwired DL-8 but I found that the DL-8 was a problem for me because if I was concentrating on a run and needed lead I would sometimes leave my foot on the pedal which would activate the loop function and that IS NO FUN WHEN PLAYING LIVE.

The DD-3 is the delay I started with in 1993 and is now back on my pedal board, exactly where it should be.

I read up on the Boss DD-3 delay before I decided to buy and as expected, it's a workhorse like other Boss effects. The quality of the delay is outstanding and very musical for digital. To my ear, very reminiscent of tape. Exceptional product, a pedal-board classic.

First off, the Boss DD-3 is THE best selling delay pedal since the invention of the electric guitar....that alone should tell you what you're looking at here. I've played with the Boss DD-6 and DD-7,and yes, these higher versions have longer memory and delay speeds, but for what I need, the DD-3 does the trick with excellent sounds. Lots of variations between the two effect knobs, Delay & Feedback. Plus, you're getting the quality of Boss, so you'll have this thing for a couple decades. I have a couple from the early 90's that I still play through today. Overall, if you can get a good price on a used one, this thing is a steal. Brand-new, I would say put down the extra cash for a DD-7, but used I just could pass up this deal.

The pedal works and looks great, and it sounds amazing. I am very pleased with this product. It is a very durable pedal, and i would recommend it to any guitarist looking for a digital delay pedal.

Perfect for solos! it is simple and sounds great, period. I have mine at the end on my effects loop (before the reverb - Holy grail) and it doesn't affect my tone in anyway. Is like knowing that you have a delay in your signal but at the same time you can clearly hear the original sound that comes out of your preamp with all its dynamics, very clear and without alterations to the tone... then, the repetitions start to come out... Not a single noise out of this unit. 10 points for Boss/Roland on this pedal. I have the Taiwan version.
