Boss DD-5 Digital Delay
In this photo you can see Stevie use boss delay probably the dd5 or the dd3 (discarded this, because the dd3 didn’t have two outputs). more

Great delay
Upgraded from a Danelectro Delay, was definitely worth the money
Improvements on the DD-3
I love my DD-3. This one adds a few more options to that, along with a tap tempo switch in. My only real gripe with this pedal is that the reverse feature, which is a great idea, mixes the current note with the reverse option. I would've like to have just the wet reverse sound, but it's a minor gripe for what is otherwise a good pedal.
The most digital delay ever!
True classic, probably the most digital delay of all Boss delays. Very clear, bright, and really stands out during solos, it reminisces me a typical 80s lead tone!
Reverse for days
The holy grail of reverse delays (to me) This stacked with my other wet effects make shimmering pads so much lusher.
great pedal
I had this one on my pedalboard too. I mainly used it for a slapback, but would occasionally use other settings.
JHS Modded DD-5
JHS modded for analog. This Digital Delay is one of the most user friendly pedals I own. The clarity and response is fantastic.
This pedal has gotten me gigs, and gets used nearly every time I play my pedalboard. Five stars.
What more can I say? Classic digital delay. Crisp, clear, and more features then you'll ever need. Nearly every guitarist uses delay these days, but the most noteworthy is probably "the Edge" from U2. I've played plenty of gigs where I needed that sound, and was able to deliver thanks to my DD-5 and a tap tempo switch (with an analog delay in series).
