BOSS Dd-8 Digital Delay Pedal, Diverse Sonic Range And Maximum Delay Power, Mono Or Stereo Setup with Eleven Modes

Within hours of receiving the Boss DD-8 my Waza Craft DM-2W was on eBay for sale. The Analog mode to my ears is even better than the DM-2 – darker, decaying repeats but without the distortion that the DM-2 has, although some may prefer that. The Warm mode is every bit as good as the fabled long-chip DD-2 – clear repeats but warm and rounded, without any digital sheen. Standard and Tape modes are also very good when the situation requires but if that wasn't enough, the Shimmer mode is really unique, and with a 40s looper and tap-tempo built in, you couldn't ask for any more from a compact delay pedal, especially with the Boss form factor and reliability.

Good BuyHighly recommended

My first delay pedal bought alongside the RV6 to use with my Roland Boutique synths. I couldn't justify the price of the Strymon Big Sky as lush as that sounds. For the price these pedals are fantastic and add the ambience I was looking for.

Really good pedal. Very sturdy and well made. Not used it to its full extent yet but can’t wait

Brilliant in my view. Lots of delay features, sounds great and doesn't break the bank.This is a permanent fixture to my pedalboard.

good Boss Pedal, but far too expensive for what it is

I have used delays for over 35 years and this is right up there. The variations on the theme are extraordinary. Absolutely lush and huge sounds achieved with little effort. I love this pedal

So simple to use. The reverse and shimmer modes are great and you don’t need to read manuals or know anything - just turn the dials and it’s self evident. Not at basement price but for getting useable sounds quickly it’s ideal and does most of everything really well. Boss are the market leaders for a good reason. Avoid the rest, especially ‘vintage’ or v cheap pedals - you’ll quickly stop using them.
