Digital Delay pedal, metal shell, indestructible ... Boss, what ...
4 knobs: volume effect, well, let's say the presence, feedback, duration of effect, a time range selector préderterminée, (50, 200 and 800 milliseconds) + a Hold function that lets you create a sample of a second ... which I see the real utility evil, but ...

UTILIZATION

It's simple if you have a little bit used to use a Delay ... If not, you say: Look, I'll go check the manual .... The, Boss was very very strong. 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 ...
