"Enormous Sound Range Possible with DD-3"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I was looking for a digital delay pedal that could create ambient, sound-wave like effects heard in music like 'This Will Destroy You' and 'Mogwai'. I trust Boss quality, listened to some demos on YouTube, and decided on this. I'm incredibly happy with my purchase. If you listen to post-rock and are looking for a similar sound, you cannot go wrong with the DD-3.
Sound
Exactly what you would expect from a Digital Delay Pedal.
Features
The medium and long delay times are marvelous for my purposes. It's easy to find the balance you need between the effect level, the feedback, and the delay time. I have yet to figure out the hold feature, but that is a minor gripe.
Ease of Use
An incredibly wide range of sounds can be made with this pedal. Once you experiment a little with each knob, you can easily find the one you're looking for.
Quality
This is a Boss pedal. Need I say more?
Value
If money is tight, this may not be the one for you. There are other delay pedals that run cheaper. But this product delivers on every penny you pay for on both sound and build quality.
Manufacturer Support
I have no experiences with support (I haven't needed it).
The Wow Factor
This pedal looks and feels like every other boss pedal I've used, but it's a formula that works. The physical design isn't breaking any boundaries, but it's what's inside that counts.

"The right digital delay choice for me..."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The DD-3 has the right qualities where it counts, even if it is a bit low on features and price, it is still staying on my pedalboard, which is tough as I only use 3 pedals.
Sound
There are some great settings on the DD-3, and once you find them, you will find yourself hitting them nearly every time you solo or go into a punchy rhythm section. Still, the DD-3 is digital, although a warm digital, and cannot replace a good analog delay. There is a place for both in many rigs, but the DD-3 is a great digital delay no doubt.
Features
Lacks a tap tempo, and I find the hold function useless; but, then again it has all the essential settings.
Ease of Use
Easy to dial in a great delay sound in every time frame. Don't be afraid to turn up the level knob, as it is a bit low from 0 to 50%.
Quality
It's Boss quality, and Boss pedals have always been dependable for me.
Value
Here is where all pedals lose in my opinion. All pedals are over priced for what they are. But the DD-3 specifically is fair, if a bit overpriced.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to call for support.
The Wow Factor
More of the pros I look up to have this pedal than do not have it.

"Boss pedals RoCk!!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This pedal will last me forever. If it were stolen I would go out and get another one right away.
For me this pedal has all the featuers I will ever need and none that will go unused.
Sound
I haven't had enough expierence with different delay pedals to compare this with others.
I did have a modeling amp with built in delay and I can say for sure this one sounds 100-times better.
I have this set up in my amps effect loops and it wrks perfectly.
Features
Has all the delay fetures I could possibly need for rythum and solo work.
Built like a tank.
Ease of Use
It takes a little while to learn all you can do with this pedal. But that is half the fun.
Quality
I am impressed with how well made Boss pedals are. I have tried a few other here and there and nothing seems to compare.
Value
For the price I don't think you can get a more well made nice sounding delay pedal.

"Delay Pedal"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Not exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for an echo sound at the end of the last note or chord. The pedal does great delay. Maybe, I need to look more into the directions or a different type of pedal.
