BOSS DD-3 Digital Delay Pedal Review
Written by admin on November 11, 2009 – 9:56 pm -No guitarist’s setup is complete without a quality delay pedal like the BOSS DD-3 Digital Delay. It adds depth and warmth to your guitar’s tone while also being very to use. The DD-3 is capable of providing simple slap backs to limitless echoes. It offers 3 distinct delay modes that can create delays ranging from 12.5 to 800 milliseconds. The BOSS DD-3 has been a part of my personal setup for many years now, and it is still one of my favorite pedals.
The controls on this pedal allow you to really dial in the perfect amount of delay for any type of playing style. The amount of delay combinations is nearly limitless when using the DD-3; it can go from adding a slight ambiance to your tone, to an impressive doubling effect with a few simple adjustments.
A stand out feature on the BOSS DD-3 delay is its Hold function. The Hold function will repeat a segment of what you play over, and over again as long as the pedal is being held down. It works like this; you can play a G chord for example and at the end of your strum, press down on the pedal. The pedal will now repeatedly produce the strum as long as the pedal is being held down. This allows you to solo, or add other playing techniques over top of the strummed G chord, providing a really cool effect.
One downside in comparison to other guitar delay pedals is its lack of additional features, such as a reverse effect. The DD-3 makes up for this though with its very affordable price tag, while still providing the essential modes of delay that a guitarist will need. Just like all other BOSS pedals, the DD-3 is built like a tank and guaranteed to last.
