BOSS DD-8 Digital Delay Pedal

The most advanced BOSS compact series delay everThe DD-8 is the most wide-ranging and feature-rich BOSS compact series delay pedal ever made, delivering more of everything such as more great sounds, more delay time, more control options, and more connectivity. It does it all this in a standard BOSS pedal that fits easily into any mono or stereo setup. Eleven modes offer delay colours from standard to exotic, plus a looper with unlimited overdub capability and external control support. For maximum versatility in a minimum amount of space, there’s no better delay pedal than the DD-8.

Featuring a diverse selection of delays, the DD-8 packs impressive sonic range into one small pedal. Clean digital delays, vintage analogue and tape types, and modulation echo are available, plus specialty delays like shimmer and reverse. There’s a new Warm type for softer echo tones, and a +RV type that blends delay and reverb together. Warp is perfect for dynamic ambient textures, while the new GLT type is perfect for glitchy rhythmic effects.

Amazing Features • Eleven versatile modes include basic digital delay, vintage echoes, shimmer, mod, looper, and more
• Looper offers up to 40 seconds of recording time, overdub capability, and three-pedal operation with external footswitches
• True stereo I/O and three selectable output modes (independent, panning, and wide stereo)
• Three newly developed delay types: Warm, +RV (delay+reverb), and GLT (rhythmic delay)
• Up to 10 seconds of delay time available with tap tempo input

Express YourselfEverything sounds bigger and better in stereo, and the DD-8 delivers with full stereo I/O support and a choice of three output modes. The default independent mode provides linked parallel delays on the left and right channels, allowing you to maintain the true balance of stereo input sources in the effect sound. There’s also a panning mode for ping-pong delay effects, and a wide stereo mode for enhanced spatial depth.

The DD-8’s extensive real-time delay options help bring your music to life. You can tap in tempos using the onboard pedal switch, and control the Warp and GLT modes for unique expressive effects. Adding one or two footswitches offers more creative possibilities, such as on-demand tap tempo, extended looper control, and a cool Twist effect for soaring echo sounds. Alternately, an expression pedal can be used for continuous control of level, feedback, or delay time—or all of them simultaneously.

Smart I/O for Easy SetupHaving a looper on your pedalboard is handy and great for practice, checking sounds at gigs, and creating on-the-fly backing while performing. The DD-8’s looper mode has you covered, so you don’t have to take up more space with a dedicated pedal. All looper functions can be controlled with the onboard switch, providing all-in-one operation. But if you prefer to work with extended controls, just connect one or two footswitches to operate the looper’s stop and clear functions externally.

The DD-8’s inputs and outputs have smart functionality, allowing you to set the pedal for any application simply by connecting cables in different ways. A variety of mono and stereo connections are supported, including discrete dry and effect outputs for wet/dry setups. You can also defeat the dry signal entirely, perfect for delay-only blending in a parallel effects loop.
