Amazing Versatility

Equipped with a diverse selection of delays` the DD-8 packs impressive sonic range into one small pedal. Clean digital delays` vintage analog 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 great for glitchy rhythmic effects.

Stereo to the Max

Everything sounds bigger and better in stereo` and the DD-8 delivers with full stereo I/O support and your 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.

Express Yourself

The DD-8’s extensive real-time delay options help bring your music to life. You can tap in tempos with the onboard pedal switch` and control the Warp and GLT modes for unique expressive effects. Adding one or two footswitches unlocks more creative possibilities` like 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 at once.

Built-In Looper

Having a looper on your pedalboard is a handy thing—it’s 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 precious 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.

Smart I/O for Easy Setup

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. It’s even possible to defeat the dry signal entirely` perfect for delay-only blending in a parallel effects loop.
