DD-3 Digital Delay
The gigging guitarist's workhorse - reliable 800ms delay with simple Hold looping.
The DD-3 evolved from the DD-2, which in 1984 became the world's first compact digital delay pedal. When the DD-3 replaced it in 1986, it kept the same straightforward approach: clean, reliable repeats up to 800ms with zero fuss.
Three delay modes (12.5-50ms, 50-200ms, 200-800ms) cover slapback to long ambient trails. A Hold mode turns it into a simple looper, capturing a phrase and repeating it indefinitely. The repeats are pristine digital: clear and present without coloring your dry signal.
Four knobs handle everything: E.Level sets the repeat volume, F.Back controls the number of repeats, D.Time dials in the delay length, and the Mode switch selects the range. Direct (buffered) output maintains signal integrity in long chains.
At 58mA and bulletproof Boss construction, the DD-3 has been the 'just works' delay for gigging musicians for nearly four decades. No presets, no menus, no MIDI. Just plug in and play.
