    Proper Boss quality

    Boss DD-3 Digital DelayPublished on 04/04/15 at 16:15
    Being a fan of Tool and other such progressive metal bands, I needed to look for a good quality delay pedal which offered me all the functionalities that I require, while also being at an affordable price.
    After spending weeks of doing research and watching a lot of review videos, I decided to stick with the Boss brand.
    I am not saying they are the best, but to me personally, they offer high quality, reliable products at affordable prices, without braking the bank.

    Being a fan of Tool and other such progressive metal bands, I needed to look for a good quality delay pedal which offered me all the functionalities that I require, while also being at an affordable price.
    After spending weeks of doing research and watching a lot of review videos, I decided to stick with the Boss brand.
    I am not saying they are the best, but to me personally, they offer high quality, reliable products at affordable prices, without braking the bank.

    Features

    The DD3 delay pedal, like many Boss pedals, is very user-friendly and simply easy to adjust to your liking.
    It has 4 knobs, for effect level, feedback time, delay time and delay mode. You can replicate any delay effect to match your favorite songs, whether you're an Adam Jones or Tom Morello fan or if you simply want to play the intro to 'Tears don't fall'.
    It takes a bit of practice to get to understand how to tweak the settings finely, in order to get the proper effect you require, but all in all it is easy to use.

    Sound/quality of effect

    Great sound quality, the echo is clear and sharp, not muddy and you can get any desired type of delay from it. I have tested this pedal with both a tube amp and a solid state amp and even though a lot of people will say you can't get a quality effect when used with a solid state amp, especially a practice amp, they are quite wrong. Yes, the quality isn't the same like when used with a tube amp, but it is still well worth it, the effect is clear and precise and you can get the desired effect.

    Reliability

    It's a Boss pedal, and if you aren't familiar with this brand, you should know that they build their pedals to survive an apocalypse. I have personally, dropped a Boss pedal (not this one, but the casing is usually the same) from the second floor of a building, on concrete (long story...). Not even a single dent on it, just scratched a bit of paint, and it continued to work perfectly like nothing happened.
    If you want it for gigs, it's great that you don't have to worry about stomping it to pieces when you are "in the zone", you can just step on it with a lot of force and the pedal won't even "feel" it.

    Overall opinion

    I would highly recommend this pedal to anyone. It is simple to use, the digital delay is more than good enough to use for gigs or recording, you get a good value for its price, it's indestructible and I simply can't find anything wrong with it. I am more than happy with my DD3.

    Cracking when the pedal follows a distortion pedal / drive, either in the effects loop or end of the chain on the front, with several guitars, amps, cables, power supply or with battery, etc..

    So it really comes from the Boss.
    Nobody has ever been able to fix (2 technicians who do not even find fault .... are they deaf?).

    The Boss DD3 is probably the most well known in digital delay pedals. Its merits aren't without being well deserved, this pedal does it all: Short delay, long delay, it can repeat something once or it could repeat something eternally!

    I bought this used for $40. As of 2010 I believe Boss charges about $120 for one of these new.


    It is simple to use. No manual needed, just plug and play. I bought it specifically to get a nice, clean slap back delay like my, at the time guitar hero Brian Setzer. Sure new pedals come out and I give them a shot, but the DD-3 will always be a staple for my delay sounds.

    In a perfect world this pedal would have a cleaner, quieter bypass as well as a tap tempo, but if I want the that or the tap tempo at least I'll have to upgrade to the newer DD-7.

    Boss builds great pedals that can take the abuse of years of non-paying sweaty rock clubs. My DD3 has never shown up late for practice or got too drunk to perform at gig.

    Great, simple to use delay pedal. Unless you need a delay time of 5 1/2 weeks, I'd check this pedal out. It's good clean fun!

    Boss DD-3 Digital DelayPublished on 04/21/04 at 15:00
    I never bought it because it sucked, basically.

    It's good if you like slow, sharp volume swells that turn out being unbearably loud and then just suddenly cutting out.

    It doesn't take what you're playing and repeat it over and over, it's almost like it's trying to interpret what you're playing and purposefully trying to f*ck it up. Sounds like you're trying to do a volume swell with a MT-2 at full gain and a wah pushed almost all the way forward and using a volume pedal to do a swell... It's that bad.

    It was falling apart when I saw it.

    Do not buy this pedal! I'm not gonna tell you what to get but I can only say that an Ibanez Tone-Lok delay that I tried (can't remember the name) worked…

    I ordered it from my local music store, Limelight Music. I needed another delay pedal that could do more. I payed $110 for it.

    It hurts my ears. They should give you a huge warning about turning the feedback level all the way up and messing with the knobs. It was amazing though. There are always certain things about analog and certain things about digital, and as a recomendation, check this pedal out. If you're up for exerimentation then buy it. It has ample delay time and it's very quiet.

    It hurts my ears, it's a love/hate kind of thing.

    Boss DD-3 Digital DelayPublished on 06/30/01 at 15:00
    $109 including shipping new from musicians friend,ordered via website.

    Delivers a good, quiet, digital delay sound at almost any setting. Easy to use, appears solidly built. I've never had a quality problem or a failure with a boss. Considered the dd5, but it's main attribute over the dd3 is a full 2 second delay, something I'd probably never use. I considered the eh analog memory man reissue, but I know it to be noisier and pricier.

    Delays cost alot new or used. The dd3's on eBay sell for almost as much as the new ones it seems, so I opted for new. My only real complaint is this chews batteries fast, if used often an adaptor is a must.

    Compact delay pedal with superb BOSS sound quality
    Provides 3 delay time modes and a Delay Time control for quick adjustment of exact delay time between 12.5ms - 800ms
    Hold function repeats delay sound indefinitely for interesting effects
    BOSS 5-year warranty

    This is the legendary boss dd-3,the newer revision of this has some new features but the sound, function and size are the same. It's a great delay for those who are just getting into the idea of owning and using a digital delay pedal who don't really know what they're looking for yet but want something simple to use, that sounds good and can open doors into the whole delay world for you.

It's a great delay for those who are just getting into the idea of owning and using a digital delay pedal who don't really know what they're looking for yet but want something simple to use, that sounds good and can open doors into the whole delay world for you.

    UTILIZATION

    This is as simple as a digital delay can possibly get. And yes digital delays are usually a bit more complex with knobs and functions than analog delays as there are a lot more parameters that one can control.

    But again just like with most pedals you can start with everything up at noon and adjust from there. the E. Level knob is like a mix knob allowing how much of your signal is going to be 'wet' with delay. The Feedback knob controls how long the delay will sustain for before it cuts out of the signal. And the delay time controls how soon or how late the repeats will come in or out.

    The mode knob is what's been changed as far as I can remember with the older 90s versions but it's stupid simple. You adjust the length of repeats that the pedal can operate with I think it goes up to 800ms on these. And the HOLD function is for that oscillation effect, if you're in this mode, all you do is press and hold the footswitch and the delay effect will repeat into a neverending cycle and create a cool space-like effect, "oscillation".


    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound of course is digital. This means that the repeats itself are very clear and precise with quite a bit of presence. Technically, the repeats should be just as clear and precise as the original sound source, that's the point of digital delays. Also digital delays tend to usually allow longer repeat times than analog delays.

    So there's not much to judge here about the sound as delay pedals are really just meant to repeat your original sound source. I will say this however, placement of the pedal changes how the delay sound, for example if you put this in the FX loop and use amp distortion, your delays will be clear and not muddy vs if you put this out in front while using amp distortion. Experiment and see what you prefer the sound of, there is no right or wrong.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Overall, best basic digital delay. Legendarily known for being so and definitely worth looking into for those who are just getting started with delay. For those who've played with delay pedals for years and years they'll know what to to with this for sure and have probably moved on to other bigger pieces of gear with more knobs etc. But this has always been a great simple effect to experiment with new guitar sounds and get your creative juices flowing.

    It is placed in all styles thanks to its versatility and ease of use!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used it for almost two years before selling it stupidly, when he could go for other services. I intend to buy one of these days, it would be very complementary to my Mxr Carbon Copy! I had tried anything else at the time, Boss is not that expensive, easy to use and reliable, so for a first purchase, do not hesitate and go for it!
    Some pros also continue to use the DD-3 convenient and simple as its big brothers DD-5, 6 and 7.

    It might be a bit cheaper new, but is found easily by hand if this scares anyone. With the experience I would do this choice, but with a higher budget I would go take a peek at Tc electronic ... ;)

    Overall excellent, I recommend it.

    Boss DD-3 Digital DelayPublished on 12/23/11 at 07:45
    The Boss DD-3 is the most basic delay pedal out by Boss at the moment. This delay has a four knob design. The pedal has an Effect Level knob that adjusts the amount of delay that is mixed with the dry tone, a Feedback knob that adjust the number of repeats, a Delay Time knob that adjusts the amount of time between repeats, and a four way Mode knob that adjusts between the pedal modes. Mode one or “S” is a short delay with a range of 12.5 ms to 50 ms. Mode two or “M” is a medium delay with a range of 50 ms to 200ms. Mode three or “L” is a long delay with a range of 200 ms to 800ms.

The Hold mode is a little different, it allows you to hold a delay and then play over it. The pedal can be powered by 9 volt batter or external AC adapter. Dimensions of the pedal are Boss’s typical 2.4" x 5.1" x 2.9" and it weighs about a pound. Normal input and output jacks are available as well as a direct output.

    UTILIZATION

    Boss builds little tanks; it’s as easy as that. They can take serious abuse from the road and never hiccup, and the DD-3 is no exception to the rule. It is a very reliable pedal and I’ve never heard any complaints in the build of the pedal or quality control. It’s a very straightforward layout and the knobs seem sturdy and hold your settings well. The Mode knob has a solid click feel between settings. The housing and jacks are metal and will deal with life on the road. Including a direct out allows the player to use two amps to get that true full stereo delay and is a great addition from Boss.

    SOUND QUALITY

    This pedal doesn’t really produce a difference in tone when it is on and off. The bypass of the pedal, though buffered, is very good. Basically what you put into it is what you get out of it. The delays are very clean and crisp and are almost exact replications of what comes into the front end of the pedal. I have moved on to the DL-4 and an analog delay because I like their coloration of the repeats. I feel it sounds more natural if the delays are slightly muffled in the high end like a natural echo and decay. This does a great clean repeat though if you’re looking for that.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Overall this is a great delay for clean repeats. It spits out exactly what you put into it, and delays it. The delays aren’t warmer or colored at all like an analog delay or echo pedal, and that’s what it’s supposed to do. This pedal is built road tough, and can really take a beating. I gigged it for awhile, but I felt the clean sounding repeats sounded too digital and unnatural, and I’ve since moved to an analog delay. Had the pedal incorporated an EQ so I could roll off some of the high end on the repeats, I may have stuck with the DD-3. I can’t say it’s a bad pedal though, because it does exactly what it’s meant to do, it’s just not for me.

    the manual is more succinct that, despite the simplicity of the pedals, he could be more dvelopp.

    The sound is enjoyable and the time limit trs mimics quite well the behavior of an analog delay.
    I use it mainly with my guitar, but I use it occasionally with other instruments (synths, filters, etc.).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I am happy with the pedals trs, especially since I bought it I found a price more reasonable than that normally announced (I got it new 75 euros). between a tap tempo would welcome t for ease of use but we can not have everything ... the pedals to me quite indispensable, even if a DD5 might suit me better (the prices are so Boss levs I m'accomode trs much of this model).

    But the real difficulty is the last knob, the "HOLD" does not serve as one might think to prevent any untoward engagement of the pedal but to create short samples.
    The manual is really too amber against all these subtleties.

    SOUND QUALITY

    However for basic use as a delay / echo the DD-3 proved tasty, and enhances the game by giving it a depth delicious choice (because "I think I'm Gary Moore playing in the Andes") or a its dry, percussive (when the delay is very short).
    I use it on Gibson SG and Fender Telecaster Std Std US, primarily in the studio on a Marshall Stack, and I am very satisfied at this level.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for over a month, enough I admit occasionally (when I play Metallica or Gary Moore).
    I have not had the opportunity to test other models before buying.
    I was advised many times the Boss Giga Delay pedal is a double cost almost € 100 more. I thought it was overkill for the use I have.
    I think I do it again if the same choice over again, although I find the price a little high (a board turn to the market OCCAZ).

Rather than pass as usual 'two basic means three settings that allow you to familiarize yourself with the possibilities and sounds of the pedal, there is only pouic ... Nada! Job description and Basta Cosi ...
    Fortunately, the editing of sounds is very simple. By fiddling the pedal within reason on the presence of the effect and feedback, (knobs to 12 H) were more to choose its duration (50, 200 or 800 ms) and refines the third knob (which actually used to navigate through the duration of the effect: I explain: we choose 50 ms on the fourth knob (Rockab, Reverb), and is refined (12 to 50 ms) with the third. Well, but Frankly, the manual .... 0 points

    SOUND QUALITY

    Yes, I love the sound! Well, after, it's always the same fight, analog or digital ... All my pedals are analog, except ... my DD 3. I am no fan of multi effects, on stage, it is a joyful mess, there are 40,000 things that are never used (like the simulations of acoustic, always zero), the hyper distos are generally average compared to dedicated pedals (yes, even the GT 8), too many buttons, switches, pedals and in the dark, not cool .... For me (and it is only my opinion) it is indeed a mid-range rack hands down. The reverb to rockab through the Surf (50 or 200 ms), I use it in reggae rhythm coupled with a lighter to inflate the chorus in his solos. There's a notice that says below "it can do most" I agree with that, more versatile, you die ... I use it with a Duesenberg Starplayer TV and Hot Rod, and it sounds too well! Mode 800 ms is something for fans of musical experiences under the influence or webs of substance, but we must determine the amount of feedback or past three / four notes, drowning sound, the amp has nothing left, goes in a loop, and you too!!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought it on Ebay for OCCAZ 3 weeks ago, FDP in Euro 70. Ibanez tried before (the gray void, then, Ibanez, should be back ...) Belcat, Rocktron short timer, no, not Beringher, is not messing around either, Danelectro, and I know what else, ha yeah, Digitech. .. Apart from the Boss, the only one I really enjoyed was the Rocktron, a super comfortable in Rockab ', but I think the DD 3 is much more versatile reverb simulates runs very cool and the sound seems less than its synthetic counterparts (but this is subjective). To me it sounds like a delay to sound, well-honed ear that can make a difference with analog! ! After the test there is strength, I Boss of more than twenty years, only the painting changed, despite the very abuse they suffered. The connection is flawless, the sound same, it crachotte no, no, I do not work for Boss .... But OCCAZ, it is still an excellent value for money and it is sold super well. Police at the Stray Cats Marley through the whole 60's surf, it really does freelance !!!... I still hold mass function in Live ... at home, for that matter ...
    DD 6 (same manufacturer) not convince me more than that, I do not see the value of a Delay of 4 seconds, unless using it to communicate with Aliens and the difference ...... Price referred me to the DD 3. In addition, Prince has the same ...
    Apart from finding an old tape echo or spit three times the original price for a high-end effect, I think of OCCAZ, it remains a choice I do it again without judicieux.Que mood ...

    Most of the good features and is already evoked, we will not go back on everything;
    effect pedal digital delay a clean but cold, like most boss effects, but for his cot ice loots that I bought it;
    1 inputs, 2 outputs (effect and dry, dry is the practice to continue to sculpt the sound effect to another without facing overload ca)
    4 types of delay available (these are the same but with delays of different lengths, except for the hold mode, which uses the same delay but without the possibility of tritouiller feedback;
    pearl white color of the box is really cool .....

    UTILIZATION

    Ben's boss, a sick chimpanzee happen to run it in three minutes! ;)
    you read the manual once and then throws you ashamed of having read it, so the functions of the pedal makes sense ....

    SOUND QUALITY

    Well I used to make the kind Idm Aphex Twin / Boards of Canada and frankly huge c, the sound is super cold and metals, especially with a feedback control is well-behaved clean without disturbing breath ( but there's still a lil breath that's true!)

    in fact the only comparison I can do for this delay is the delay of multi FX600 behringer effect, the only other digital delay I've experienced and abuse, the boss is (of course) frankly better quality the behringer is a cot Finally just patch it takes the dust;

    I used the Boss DD-3 with different drum machine, synths and various other circuit bent instruments and it works nickel, the sound is crystal-clear, despite the fact that he filters a bit low, and tell me ca you, when you make electronic music is the mierda! but I will even when the function 9 for feedback that is impressive when you want to experiment, for those who are "cardboard" as I have read on some forum, well, they simply purchase an analog delay, we rarely buy for digital sonnervintage and warm this delay is industrial, let it be said!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have been a month now and it was the feedback that I use most, as I have before said, this stew javais Behringer FX600, which sounded really paperboard;
    as:
    -Output "dry", the quality of the pedal (the famous little box-solid metal in a tank boss behringer ca change and its "all plastic"), the sound ...
    minimum:
    Not stereo-output (but in this case we bought the home stereo delay boss), the sound really that may affect the industrial purists analoqique (but in these cases is not purchased digital)
    The report price is good quality, it's worth the price which, between 100 and 130 euros, mine I got a 100;
    I experience with the remake that choice, I would say even if I break it or lose it I bought another on again!!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I know for some time DD3 (beginners 90s), my prcendent examplaire m 'a flight there qq t Annes. My colleagues gave me this gift as a delay departure. [thanks again friends !!!!! ]

    In other words, for me the DD3 is a tool of references, rather complt and easy to use.

    All my other effects are analog, the cot "cold" in the DD-3 I do not even notice. Let's say I see no intrt to invest in an expensive analog time limit for the overall sound (scratch + amp + effects + DD3) gives me satisfaction.

    Advised anyone who wants a delay gnraliste and without "fear of numrique";).
