Full description

Versatile sonic range, maximum delay effect

Introducing the DD-8, the most comprehensive and feature-rich BOSS delay pedal ever. This pedal delivers more of everything—more great sounds, more delay time, more control options, and more connectivity. And it does it all in a standard BOSS pedal that fits perfectly into any mono or stereo setup. Eleven modes give you delay tones from the most basic to the most exotic, plus a looper with infinite overdub that supports external control. For versatility and size, there's no better delay pedal than the DD-8.

Delay modes

Analog —Classic analog BBD delay sound.

Standard —Crystal clear digital delay.

Tape —Vintage tape-based delay sound.

Warm —Digital delay with a softer sound.

+RV —Digital delay with reverb added.

Shimmer —Pitch-shifted delays with rich and shimmering texture.
