made me fall in love with delay

Absolutely essential thing if you're a noisemaker/postrocker/postpunker/whatever. Of course it could be better if it had tap tempo and more options, but for that money? You can't go better, plus when you have little options you cant fuck anything up

A really good tone

It's something you can use like a slap delay or almost a sort of reverb thing and let it always on. It simply don't disturb anything else in the chain and you get really great sound. This is a "must find/must keep" stompbox.

solid, but i generally prefer in DAW delays

it's fine, btu i find getting the delay to what you want can be rather tedious, so i generally prefer using a delay in daw to quickly jump around times, but it's not a bad pedal to be clear

Simple and reliable

Basic digital delay built to last more than a lifetime. I use it on my Moog Little Phatty. Pretty useful mode switch that could be used anywhere anytime, for example in electronical music, where you make build ups with delay speed. Not too many settings to get lost in. Although tap tempo is pretty handy on the new DD-3T.

Practical Delay.

After have this pedal for sometime, this is probably the pedal I use the most. I like using pedals in my music to make interesting (or just annoying) noises. My favourite feature has to be the hold function, which is almost like a looper, as you make interesting sounds such as a stutter effect (which you then can change the pitch/speed of while it repeats).

Preferred Settings + Usage:

My favourite sounding delay!

I bought this for guitar - though as I am almost exclusively a bass player these days, and none of the mixers at the small gigs I play have much options for vocal effects - I have been using it for my vocals. As far as durability goes - it's Boss. It's been to hundreds of gigs and it's 10 years older than me. It's got some mojo, man.

The first ambient effect with the TAPE MOD made by Cluster.

Placed second before the modulation, filter, and overdrive pedals that will modify the DD-3 repetitions. With its reverb-like and short delay settings I use it more as a "short term loop" station whose loops are metamorphosed by the other effects

the TAPE MOD made by Cluster includes

The addition of a switch to delay with analog feel, doubling the chances of the pedal: a variant of analog sound and original sound factory. Second, the transformation of the pedal in an effects loop that allows to prosecute the other effects only repetition.

A 2-position switch added to toggle between two possible values. One will give replays one, softer and calm similar feeling. The other value enables to keep the sound factory DD-3. Direct Out convert the output into an effects loop. This add effects to tchehain to process only replays generated by the DD-3, keeping the original clean signal ... Fabulous! change original capacitors for high-quality capacitors MKT.

Nice delay

Despite of being digital, you can totally get some organic repetitions. Going from a metalic reverb sort of sound to a 800 ms delay, it gives a wide range to explore. Also, the HOLD function is very useful when creating some artificial repetitions.

No longer own.

No longer own. Very high quality digital delay only rivaled by the other Boss models and Strymon’s

Great warm digital delay

Like the sound of the delay as is clear as digital must be but quite warm as the analog delays obviously not the same but have the perfect balance in between if you need a pedal wich you can gig and make lots of sounds. Also 800ms of delay is more than enough and the hold feature is really useful as a micro loop
