The DD series of delay pedals from Boss is arguably one of the most successful lines ever produced, and there’s a good chance you’ve had at least one of these digital wonders on your pedalboard at one time or another (or do currently). While they are certainly celebrated in their stock form, they also have been extremely adaptable to modifications, and that’s what we’re going to look at today. Loophole Pedals thrives on their ability to navigate the unique tones these delay produce and add useful, thoughtful and exciting mods to them, turning an already great pedal into an exquisite one. Today we’re going to check out the DD-6, and see what a few simple mods can do to really open up this marvelous effect.
Here’s what Loophole Pedals did to our lovely DD-6:
Feedback Mod: This mod adds an onboard foot-switch to give you infinite oscillations. This switch essentially maxes out the feedback control for as long as it is held down (the Preset Mod is available in this slot as well)
Analog Mod: This mod adds a toggle switch to lower the frequencies of the pedal aka an analog delay
These mods, as you’ll see in our demo video below, really push the DD-6 to make it into a more useful and better-sounding digital delay. The Analog modes sound great, adding a darker element to the repeats, and the Feedback Mod instantly adds a new dimension to your sound. The mod selections at Loophole Pedals are quite extensive these days, ranging from Boss to EarthQuaker to Line 6 and more – be sure to check their site to find ways to improve upon your own tasty pedals. They also have their flagship pedal, the Grey Matter Overdrive, ready for production, which you can check out right here. Enjoy!
