Boss DD-8 DD-8 Boss Digital Delay Pedal

The Boss DD-8 builds on an impressive and historic pedigree stretching back to 1983 with the release of the Boss DD-2, the first digital delay available in stompbox form. All the knowledge and advancements gained over that time have culminated in the Boss DD-8, the most feature-rich digital delay pedal Boss has ever produced.

The DD-8 delivers a wide palette of clean digital delays, vintage analog and tape delays, shimmer and reverse delays and a +RV option that allows you to blend delay and reverb to create your own lush signature effects. Modulation and echo are also available, and everything can be heard in glorious stereo with output modes for independent delays, ping-pong delays, and a wide stereo mode for enhanced spatial depth. The DD-8 comes with a built-in looper with overdub, tap tempo, carryover for reverb tails, and versatile I/O options, you can even output delay only if you want to blend using a parallel effects loop.

Whether you are looking for an ethereal touch, classic slapback, pristine digital repeats, fat analog type delays, combinations, or anything in between, the Boss DD-8 deserves a spot on your pedalboard.
