Boss DD-6 Digital Delay Pedal

In an interview with Russell Lissack, when asked "And what gear do you use in order to conjure up the Bloc Party sound?", Lissack mentions the Boss DD-6 and responds: "My guitars are all Fender Telecasters, and Kele and I use Fender Deluxe amps both in the studio and on stage. Pedal-wise, it’s pretty much a Boss-fest. I’ve got a TR-2 Tremolo, DS-1 Distortion, a new PW-10 Wah, the DD-5 and **DD-6 Delays** and the PS-5 Supershifter. For a long time, all we had was a distortion, a delay and an old wah pedal and we really got the most out of them. The DD-5 was always my best friend because there were so many different types of delay, but it was always really flexible. I really like to push my effects to see what sounds I can achieve when I get new stuff, but it’s been ages since I’ve had time to really experiment with things." (original interview [here](http://www.roland.co.uk/blog/bloc-party/)). At 9:46 minute mark of the [Premier Guitar's rig rundown](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVqaFU3y-Jo), Lissack showed his DD-6 pedals. One of the pedals is being used for loops and one is being used like the regular delay pedal.

"The DD-6 is set for the cascading repeats and the hold. So if he keeps his foot on it it will just build and build and build. So he'll flip between the DD-6 and Freeze and sometimes go one foot on each, and be sort of tap dancing between the two," says Josh Klinghoffer's guitar tech.

"One I really fell in love with and use all the time is the white one: the [DD-6] digital delay. When I worked with Glen Ballard on “Taste of India” [from Aerosmith’s Nine Lives CD], that was the pedal I wrote with, and the one I used for the backward effect. For me, writing has a lot to do with picking up a guitar and getting a sound. So sometimes it’s an amp, a tuning, or, in this case, a pedal that stimulates and inspires me to think in a different musical sense. Sometimes I’ll just fall into an unusual sound, and that’ll be my inspiration to write a song. Pedals play a big part in that creative process for me, and BOSS has such a great pile of pedals."

they use it in live set

at 53:19 at the video.

Seen quite clearly at 0:29 is a few of Jenny's pedals, including the Boss DD-6.

At 19:02 you can see the pedal. Although you can't see whether it's a DD6 or a DD7 you can see (if you look closely) at 20:08 the different options at the fourth knob.

"I use this as a sound effect, when I hit the guitar or hit the strings up top. It's from the reggae school of things. It's a short delay but I have loads of repeats on it. It sounds like a flock of geese leaving the nest!"

45:45 Minutes in the video Tom speaks about this pedal, "I could play the same riffs i used to play but they pan around trans-like, its atmospheric."

Walsh mentions many pedals in this interview for Boss, including the Boss DD-6: "What BOSS pedals get the most mileage onstage?" "The delay [DD-3] is a favorite, the overdrive [OS-2], and more and more the pitch shifter [PS-5]. I prefer the DD-3 onstage, but for recording I use the DD-6."

"I play through a Fender Twin, and my pedal setup is super basic: boss chorus and tremolo, boss dd-6 delay, a fulltone fulldrive coupled with an electro-harmonix lpb-1 boost for good natural tube overdrive, and that’s pretty much it."

OK, the middle pedal is a Boss Digital Delay pedal. It's the DD-6 model, based on the position of lettering. Only on the DD-6 were the words "Digital Delay" placed on the same line, rather than putting Digital on top, and Delay below and to the right.

James Frost of UK band The Automatic

> The DD6 Delay I like because it has tempo control so I can tap to any tempo that I need. A lot of delays, you're at the mercy of the dial and stuff. Sometimes that can be offbeat and that annoys me.

“I have it set to loop: whenever you press and hold it the loop starts, and when you release it the loop ends. “So, the shorter you do that, then the shorter the sample it records, so I use it to do little stuttery ‘brrrrp’ effects every now and again.”

This was the first track I 'officially' recorded as part of my CCCL project (aka: Chris Carter's Chemistry Lessons). It was made in 2007 with a Gameboy ASP running a couple of Nanoloop sequences: into a Boss PQ-4 parametric EQ, mono out: into a Boss PN-2 Panner (square-wave pan setting), stereo out: into a Boss RV-5 reverb (Gate setting), stereo out > into a Boss DD-6 digital delay (modified), stereo out: into a Mac G5 recording (via MOTU 828 mkII audio interface) into Apple Soundtrack Pro. All realtime tweakery (mostly the PQ-4 + DD-6) and no post-pro no editing.

Sergio has both a DD-7 and a DD-6 on his pedalboard, posted to his Instagram.

He uses it occassionaly with the tap tempo function. He says he doesnt like that he has to hold the switch and then tap on it to get the tempo but addy that he has to work with what he has. Its hard to spot differences between the boss dd pedals but if you look closely you can see that this truly is the DD-6.
