DD-2 Digital Delay

The DD-2 holds a genuine place in music technology history: released in 1984, it was the world's first compact digital delay pedal. Boss crammed a custom delay chip into the standard compact enclosure, something no one thought was possible at the time.

Up to 800ms of clean digital delay with three range modes. A Hold function captures and loops the current audio indefinitely, making it an accidental proto-looper years before loopers existed as a category. The repeats are pristine and uncolored, a revelation in 1984 when the only alternatives were analog delays with degrading repeats or expensive rack units.

E.Level, F.Back, D.Time, and Mode controls. The DD-2 was produced from 1984 to 1986 before being replaced by the DD-3, which used the same circuit with minor revisions. Japanese-made throughout its entire run.
