One of the best digital delays pedals out there that actually sounds very analog! These were made in the mid 80s and are still sought after due to their warm delays and smooth but hazy decays. A few delay time modes offer up to 800 milliseconds plus a cool sample/hold feature that is really great for sustains or small loopy bits. If you've been turned off by the sterile sound of most modern delays the DD-2 is definitely worth tracking down on the used market. The delays are very organic and I honestly doubt you could tell the difference between this and an analog delay pedal (except that you'll get a lot more delay time). As with most of the Boss pedals made in the 80s, try tracking down the Japanese models as they tend to sound a whole lot better than their Taiwanese counterparts. |
