    Boss DSD-3 Digital Sampler/DelayPublished on 01/07/06 at 08:08
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Delay and sampler numrique sold between 1986 and 1988 (Made in Japan then)
    Normment like the Boss DD-3 and for good reason, the two are released together, have the same converters and some of the common mode delay ...

    In fact, compared to the DD-3:
    - Mode S (12.5 50 ms) of the DD3 retirbr /> - A Sampler mode adding a t to record 200-800ms time (too short hlas)
    - Modes M and L (respectively 50 and 200ms 800ms 200) are identical on the 2 MODELS.

    Note also the prsence between a jack "Trig in" I've never test. This allows you to connect between the pedals of a rhythm box or Boss Roland 80s (DR-110 style) that have an output trig out! In practice it would mean that reading the record…

    The DSD-3 is nothing but a vintage DC-3 to which we added a sampler mode.
    I takes only 9 because this method is unfortunately limited sampler (especially time) and today there are better (Akai Headrush ...)

    UTILIZATION

    The delay mode is easy to use and just like the DD-3 (I know I RPET).
    We have:
    - 2 types of delay (200 to 50,200 and 800ms): E. Level controls the volume of rptitions, F. Back CONTRL number of rptition and Time Sets the hard e of the delay, the classic!
    - A mode Rec / Play: That is used in two ways, either to record their sample, then we can read by pressing the pedals in the fourth and last mode (play only); Either playing in this mode by pressing the left pedals: the sample is recorded immediately reviewed and we can then superimpose sounds.

    Some notes:
    - In play mode only, we just change the speed and therefore its sample recorded with the Tone knob time, so it is possible to create great sounds
    - I tried the pedals with a microphone, and the method rec / play works perfectly with the voices, it is possible to multiply his voice or sounds as measure by superimposing a sound.
    - The default: the sample record is deleted when the pedals is no longer fed, must hold on the pedals to cycle or mode used Rec / play it is not always comfortable ...

    Even when I put 10 because the addition of a sample function when its usefulness and even allows you to add sound effects and other environments, at worst, it was a good delay!

    SOUND QUALITY

    It's the sound of the DD-3, plutt cold (but with a warm upstream ...) Listen and make you an ide!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I first bought it in 1600 francs in 1987, it still works well trs.
    The delay is the most classic, I do not really blame him (if it is not to be analog), and the sample is based INTERESTED Exceeds but by the pedals of today.

    They are found sometimes in time, if you want a delay, it is perfect! I RPET, it is a DD-3

    Today, my choice would be to plutt line 6 DM4 or a Boss DD 20 for function and delay to a akai HeadRush RC20XL or Boss, but these pedals are much more expensive than a DSD-3 d 'OCCAZ!
