EAN: 761294515051

With an expanded delay time of up to 10 seconds and new delay sounds, the BOSS DD-8 Digital Delay Pedal can find a way onto your pedalboard. You can apply the pedal to nearly any playing style.

The DD-8 is a digital delay with high-fidelity repeats, but it also offers eleven delay modes in total including a loop mode. Analog, Tape, Reverse, Shimmer, Warp, and more, the pedal gives you much in the way of options.

Despite its size, the DD-8 offers lots of functionality by way of dual input and output jacks for mono or stereo operation. Different stereo modes can be selected, including traditional 2-in / 2-out true stereo mode, panning mode for wide spatial delays, and wet/dry mode for complete control over mixing your signal. In fact, the stereo I/O connections have smart functionality and adapt to your particular workflow scheme automatically.

Traditional simple adjustments are made via the Effect Level, Feedback, and Delay Time knobs. An external Tempo/Exp input is also available for expanded external control. Adding multiple footswitches to the pedal s expression input unlocks a multitude creative possibilities you can control tap tempo, change parameters for the looping section, and utilize a new Twist effect for soaring echo sounds. Alternately, an expression pedal can be used for continuous control of delay time, feedback, level, or all of them at once.

This pedal utilizes a buffered bypass for preserving tone across long cable runs when the pedal is disengaged. You ll also note the Carryover switch, which sets whether the delay trails continue after you engage the bypass switch, or whether they stop abruptly. This control is on the rear of the pedal.

The DD-8 can run off of a single 9V battery, as well as an optional, PSA 9 VDC power supply. The electronics are encased in BOSS s iconic durable metal housing with a nonslip rubber base. Included with the pedal is a 9V battery.
