Boss DD-3 Digital Delay is a guitar stomp box with the ability to produce a number of different delay tones. It has a 1/4 inch input and output and is powered by either a nine volt battery or a nine volt power supply. It is not a rackable effect as it is a stomp box.
UTILIZATION
The configuration of the DD-3 is easy to follow and it is easy to get a good sound from this. It has a knob for effect level, a knob for feedback, a knob for delay time, and a knob to change the mode. It is straightforward and is easy to figure out what everything does. The manual is pretty thorough and complete, but the pedal is easy enough to figure out on its own if you don't have it.
SOUND QUALITY
The delay from the Boss DD-3 is clear in general has a great tone to it. I have only used this with guitar - usually a Fender Stratocaster and a '76 Fender Twin Reverb amp. With this combination I get a great tone and with the DD-3 I can get a variety of delay sounds. My favorite mode on the DD-3 is probably the M 200ms setting as it suits the amount of the delay I usually need, but all of the settings are pretty good, it just depends what you are looking for.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Boss DD-3 Digital Delay for a few years and I have found it to be a great delay pedal for the guitarist who wants simple delay at a reasonable price. Boss makes great products that will last if you treat them right and this is another great example of the high quality pedals they make. While not as versatile as the Line 6 DL-4 delay pedal, it is good at what it does and is great for getting simple delay tones. Overall, I definitely recommend this delay pedal.
