It’s always an exciting time when Boss releases new delay pedals, as they’ve been at the forefront of the genre for decades now. We recently got a chance to check out one of their latest, the DD-8, which was filled with new options and sonic adventure around every corner. Today, we’re going to take a look at another digital delay they released at the same time, the DD-3T. Although it’s an updated version of a...

There are some rack mount delay units from the 1980s that are considered to be in the upper echelon of all-time delays, and one of them has now been shrunk down to fit onto your pedalboard. The original SDD-3000 from Korg had a sound and tone all its own, separating it from other delays in the same category, and helped to make its way into the signal chains of many guitarists, including Daniel Lanois, Johnny Marr and most famously The...

Here we go again! This time, our Boss Delay-of-the-day is the DD-3, probably the simplest of the lineup, and one of the easiest to control. This pedal does not take a degree in physics or electrical engineering to figure out (though, it would be cool to have those) – the DD-3 is extremely user-friendly, with a couple of basic knobs that tell you exactly what they do, all you have to do is turn them until you hear something you...

Amp emulator pedals are always a delicate topic of conversation amongst guitar players, and while some of these pedals can be hit or miss, the three we’re checking out today from Universal Audio are completely legit, and more. Drawing inspiration from three classic amps first released many decades ago, the Dream ’65, Ruby ’63 and Woodrow ’55 allow you to easily lose yourself in vintage tone, and save your back...

The original DC-2 Dimension C from Boss has always been a kind of hard-to-obtain mystery pedal. Extremely sought-after in the gear community, high prices and relative rareness made it a pedal that we have never been able to check out….until now. Presenting the Boss DC-2W Dimension C Waza Craft! This is one cool effect, giving you a chorus-like attitude, but acting as more of an overall tonal enhancer, it is definitely in a...

The DD series of compact delay pedals from Boss has been a staple on pedalboards all over the world since the DD-2 was introduced in 1983. Over the years, there have been a number of models produced, with each one building on the previous incarnation and increasing the flexibility of how compact delays should work. The DD-3, DD-5, DD-6 and DD-7 are now followed by Boss’ newest creation, the DD-8. Combining elements from all...

The Boss family of stompbox delays have been a staple on many, many pedalboards since the inception of the DM-1 Delay Machine way back in 1978, especially the DD series, which features the DD-3, DD-5, DD-6, DD-7 and the DD-20 (click each one for our reviews). In keeping with the tradition, but stepping up the game immensely, Boss has created a delay that will rival anything out on the pedal market today: the DD-500 Digital Delay....

I think the Digital Delay line of stompboxes from Boss are all great in their own right, and the DD-7 just might be may favorite. Loads of options, tons of control and all the delay time you’ll ever need, this thing gets it done with a small footprint and loads of fun. The DD-7 features many functions that are present in all of today’s “sought-after” expensive delay pedals, but at a fraction of the cost. Effect...

I recently purchased the Monoprice Flanger Mini Pedal as a gift for someone else… Of course I couldn’t help myself, reaching for my guitar instead of the wrapping paper, and had to try it out. Based on the layout and comparing it to online audio samples, it’s most likely – if not definitely – the same exact circuit as the Donner Jet Convolution and the Mooer Eleclady, both of which are reported to be clones of vintage...
