A Classic Through and Through

In continuous production for over three decades` the DD-3 has been the go-to delay stomp for countless players. Based on the DD-2—the world’s first digital delay pedal from 1983—the DD-3 is revered for its warm` round delay tone and simple controls that let you dial in sounds fast. The DD-3T’s sound circuitry and controls are identical to the DD-3` delivering every drop of that classic vibe you know and love.

Tap Tempo On Board

A key addition the DD-3T brings is tap tempo` an essential feature for creating the rhythmic delay effects at the heart of many guitar styles. In delay mode` hold the pedal switch for two seconds to toggle between bypass and tap operation. And for on-demand tap control` simply connect an external footswitch. When the DD-3T receives tap input` up to 800 ms of delay time is available` and the Mode knob sets the tap subdivision (quarter-note triplet` dotted-eighth note` or quarter note).

Direct Out for Wet/Dry Setups

The DD-3T features a direct output jack like the DD-3` but it’s been moved next to the main output jack to make connections easier. Plugging a cable into the direct out converts the main out to delay only` allowing you to send wet and dry signals to different amps for wide` immersive sounds. And if your amp or switcher has a parallel effects loop` just connect a dummy plug to the direct out to mute the dry sound for effect-only blending.

Hold That Loop

The original DD-3 (and DD-2 before) included a forward-thinking Hold function` which allowed you to capture a sound up to 800 ms long` play it continuously` and jam over the top. Many years later` BOSS further developed this creative concept with the successful Loop Station products` which helped spawn the new musical style of live looping. The DD-3T includes the same Hold function as the DD-3` but it’s been renamed “Short Loop” to reflect today’s common usage.
