The OG of Boss Delay – The DD-3
The early DD-3 is the same pedal as the DD-2. Because of the price drop on DRAM in 1986 it was possible to produce the pedal much cheaper. Dropping the price didn’t look so good so it was decided to re-release the DD-2 under the name DD-3 instead. The front of the pedal got a face lift with the re-release.
For more than 30 years, the DD-3 has been a staple on pedalboards all over the world. From the crystal-clear rippled repeats of Lincoln Brewster to the glitchy, stuttery latch effects (ab)used by Thom Yorke, the classic DD-3 holds a special place in the hearts of players across the map.
Subdivisions
Scrubbing through the Mode knob gives you several subdivision options — quarter note triplets, dotted eighths, or straight quarters — to find the right vibe for your material.
Up to 800ms of picture-perfect repeats
The immersion, vibe, and tone of the classic DD-3 are in full effect when you’ve got this pedal on. Using three ranges and a comprehensive D.Time (delay time) control, players can quickly access rockabilly slapback repeats and chased-delay ambient worship textures in no time at all. The sound of the DD-3 is just beautiful — clean, bright, shimmery, but never sterile. This pedal is the definition of a great bread-and-butter pedalboard delay.
BOOM!
