Boss DD-8 Digital Delay

Boss DD-8 Digital Delay - Sound Variety & Maximum Delay Power!

Boss presents the DD-8, the most versatile and feature-packed Boss compact delay to date. The DD-8 pedal simply offers more of everything – richer sounds, longer delay times, more control options, and more connectivity. All of this fits into the standard Boss pedal format, easily integrating into any mono or stereo setup.

Eleven modes are available, featuring delay tones from classic to exotic, plus a looper with unlimited overdub capacity. Additionally, the DD-8 can be controlled externally via footswitches and pedals if needed. Looking for maximum versatility with minimal space? The DD-8 Digital Delay is your go-to choice.

Incredibly Versatile

With its diverse delay selection, the DD-8 packs an impressive sonic range into a compact pedal. Options include clean digital delays, analog vintage and tape variants, modulated echoes, and special delays like shimmer and reverse.

The new Warm type produces smooth echoes, while the +RV variant combines delay with reverb. Warp is perfect for dynamic ambient textures, and the also new GLT is ideal for rhythmic glitch effects.

Stereo to the Max

Everything sounds bigger and better in stereo. The DD-8 features true stereo inputs and outputs plus three selectable output modes. In the default setting, delays (normal delays on output A and long delays with double delay time on output B) play independently. There’s also a panning mode for ping-pong effects and a wide stereo mode for enhanced spatial depth.

Expressive

The extensive real-time delay options of the DD-8 bring your music to life. Tap your tempo via the built-in pedal switch and control the Warp and GLT modes for especially expressive effects. Adding one or two footswitches expands your creative options, including recallable tap tempo changes, advanced looper control, and a cool twist effect for swelling echo sounds.
Alternatively, connect an expression pedal to control parameters like level, feedback, and delay time individually or simultaneously.

Built-In Looper

A looper is a handy tool on your pedalboard—whether for practice, testing sounds during gigs, or quickly creating backing tracks. The DD-8’s integrated looper mode lets you do all this without wasting valuable pedalboard space.

All looper functions can be comfortably controlled via the switch on the interface. If you prefer external controls, you can also connect one or two footswitches to externally operate the looper’s stop and erase functions.

Smart Inputs/Outputs for Easy Setups

The DD-8’s intelligent input and output jacks detect how you connect your cables. This lets you quickly and easily adapt your pedal to different applications and setups. The DD-8 supports a variety of mono and stereo connections, including separate dry and effect signal outputs for wet/dry setups. You can even completely disable the dry signal to route only the delay signal into a parallel effects loop.
