The Boss line of pedals, made by Roland IN JAPAN are quite functional and easy to understand. I recognize many of the sounds from songs of the last 30 yrs. I can dial in specific delays without having difficulty. The best option for the money. I’ve got 20 different MIJ BOSS and enjoy every single one !!

Great delay pedal for what it does. By that I mean that it doesn't have a bunch of modern feature (i.e. Tap tempo or reverse delay or looping or even a long delay time) but for a simple, short or medium delay it's great. I use mine for slap back (single repeat 200ms delay) and occasionally a hammer.

I am a gear hound, and I have had 3 of these in the past, present, and will probably end up with one again in the future. There is not much I can say that others haven't already said. I can tell you that Boss made this pedal to take abuse, like a sausage patty. I run this through the loop and the other pedals in front, as this pedal can be rather brighter than other pedals, depending where it is set. I set mine at 12:00 on all 3 knobs, so running it through the loop will tame the sound a bit better depending on your loop system/amp. I use an original 5150 block letter head and it works well for me this way. Sure, there are other more expensive pedals that claim to do this or that, but overall, this pedals suits the needs for live or rehearsal situations and wont break the bank. Read, research, listen to the video samples, etc. 1st, and if you are still not happy after your purchase, then resell it, as these will hold their value quite well. I have been playing for 35+ years, mostly rock/blues and I always end up coming back to this model.Read full review
First off, the Boss DD-3 is THE best selling delay pedal since the invention of the electric guitar....that alone should tell you what you're looking at here. I've played with the Boss DD-6 and DD-7,and yes, these higher versions have longer memory and delay speeds, but for what I need, the DD-3 does the trick with excellent sounds. Lots of variations between the two effect knobs, Delay & Feedback. Plus, you're getting the quality of Boss, so you'll have this thing for a couple decades. I have a couple from the early 90's that I still play through today. Overall, if you can get a good price on a used one, this thing is a steal. Brand-new, I would say put down the extra cash for a DD-7, but used I just could pass up this deal.
I have only used this pedal 2 times so far. It has a lot of adjustments that I still have to learn. Otherwise it may have been a 5 star review. It is very versatile with the delay options. Boss makes great quality pedals! Most all of my pedals are Boss. I would definitely recommend this pedal!
