In this video, I'm playing the Boss DD7 Digital Delay pedal. This is a versatile, great-sounding digital delay in BOSS' tried-and-true format. It's got everything you've come to expect from a BOSS pedal plus a few nice surprises. Enjoy the demo, and thanks for watching!

Anyone else like to watch demos for pedals you already have?
Yes I do, because maybe I can learn something I didn't know
I have one of those and have no desire to read 120 page book about it. I love to read, but reading about guitar tone seems rather pointless when someone can just show you.
Yep. Exactly what I’m doing right now.
What's your shampoo?
I would also like to know what kind of shampoo he uses.
Mane and Tail
Someone had to ask :)
Who the hell cares
@@evenseb7574 75+ people apparently... all strangely aroused by this dudes hair.
I have a DD7 and though I'm a big fan of analog I must say that this pedal is killer! If you have the money and want one, don't hesitate, it's worth it!!
Ben C I just got the Marshall dsl40cr yesterday but I've been wanting a boss dd-7 for months now, I have the money but I'm scared to ask my mom cuz she probably gonna be like, "god damn why you spending so these days oh my gawd!!"
yea im gonna git me one.
I’m awaiting for mine 😬
Thanks Don. This pedal really has all you need if you are solo looping. No fuss.
best review ,actually showing how to get in and out of the tap tempo !!thanks
Hi Don,
How would you compare the DD7 to the Boss Tera Echo? Do you have a preference?
hi! i am looking for a delay...I was planning on buying a Boss DD-7. But then I saw the Space Echo Re-20. I was wondering if the space echo can do the same as de DD-7 and also add extra features? Or for delay you should get DD-7 and for spacey stuff the RE-20? I mean, can I use the basic features of DD-7 on RE-20? (i don't mind the loop function on dd-7 as I already have a looper). Thanx for your time!
Really helpful review.. thanks 😊
The size of that Deluxe Reverb made me think it was a Princeton. Is Don Carr a giant?
Most versatile pedal I own. And I have waaaay too many pedals.
You beauty! I've had one of these for over a year and did not know about the tap tempo function. I've been dialling in the tempo using the fine tuning tempo knob. What a noob
When shut off the pedal the delay continue repeating tha last note, ¿is there anyway to end all delay after press the stomp button?..
Sadly there isn't, that is one of the biggest complaints with this pedal, although the DD3 does not ring out after it is shut off. Granted you're losing features with the DD3
Hi. I've had this pedal for quite sometime and was working great. But it has stopped functioning suddenly. Can u please give some hints as to how it can be fixed. Thank u.
im sold! thanks!!!!
boa tarde , tudo bem?
comprei o Delay dd7 da Boss, pra usar na voz
só que ele fica sempre ligado, eu achava que apertando nele e desapertando, ele desligava, mas nao rola
Aí preciso dum foot switch que ligue e desligue ele, só isso, tu sabe se seria possivel isso? qual é o foot switch? tu tem um ai por acaso? abraço!! valeu.. preciso dele pra por o delay na voz apenas em alguns momentos da musica, e nao o tempo todo.. grato demais!!
I've got this pedal, I didn't know it can do that tempo thing
It says right on top 'set tempo: press & hold (>2 sec)'
Can you use the modulated delay mode as a replacement for a chorus? I want this pedal, but I don't have room for it if I don't take off my chorus pedal.
King Frusciante, the DD-7 Modulated mode definitely does chorus. Whether or not it works for you is a matter of taste. The DD-7 is a 2-voice, digital chorus sound, as opposed to analog, bucket-brigade modulation. Check it out, the DD-7 is a classic and the flexibility is awesome.
+SweetwaterSound thanks for the reply. I have a Boss CH-1, its a digital chorus I think? but my question is, does the dd-7 do a chorus, or does it put a chorus effect over a delayed sound. If it puts a chorus over a delayed sound, can you turn the delay time down to make it sound just like a normal chorus?
Im a starter, so to me a chorus is a chorus, and I dont hear much difference in different chorus pedals so I dont care which chorus I have, I just want one.
+King Frusciante you are absolutely correct in your logic. Shorter delay times on the DD-7's Modulated mode will produce a chorus effect as opposed to a modulated delay sound. You can definitely get a "normal chorus" from the DD-7. Thanks for your question, hope this helps!
Don Carr
+SweetwaterSound yes, thank you so much for your answer!
+Baba Looga Can I get dotted 8th repeats from this pedal without an external tap tempo? Can I get dotted 8th delay from just its own tap tempo?
Can I use this exclusively with my stereo synths. Will send my mixer sends to the delay it and return back
Hi, Justin - they are on to the Boss DD8 now, which can be used with stereo synths. Let us know if you have any other questions!

I'm torn between this one and the MXR carbon copy delay pedal. Help! I need opinions. Also, I'm trying to achieve a more spacey kind of sound/noise at times, which is better for that? I know the DD-7 has a lot more to offer, but the MXR has a luscious, sweet and round sound.
Do what I did and get both :p
The Carbon Copy has such a beautiful warm sound. Natural is the word I use to describe it. The repeats help paint a beautiful picture of orange and yellow leaves gently falling to earth on an autumn day. As they litter the ground of the peaceful forest suddenly gravity lets go of you, but this surrender feels so peaceful as you float in juxtaposition to the leaves into the deep still beauty of outer space. The dd7 is packed full of features as you see here, and can really help you get some trippy from another planet sounds when combined with other fun effects. Reverse mode is my favorite. I know this doesn't help you pick one but I guess that's the point, it's too hard to just pick one! ;)
carbon copy has warmer tone but short length. this pedal has a more crisp tonality with longer delay time. i like digital delay better so i would get this and another digital or the carbon. nice to have two delay
+Mulder_01 you can hear the dd7 better while other instruments are playing along . while playing solo, the mxr carbon copy (analog) sounds best but......dd7 has a stereo and analog combination in one pedal....that analog setting sounds almost as good as the carbon copy. dd7 wins. a boss bf3 flanger added to the dd7 can help with the "spacey" sound you're looking for.
I have a problem with my dd7, the 50ms setting sounds the same as the 800ms. Can anyone tell me how to solve this?
Sounds like it may be broken. Spray some contact cleaner like Deoxit inside the mode knob.
Real DD memang Digital Delay & Friend's.
awesome pedal
I have 17 songs with different tempos. Shoud i buy 17 delay pedals?
I need a delay pedal that Will have User banks to change as as i play. Any help please?
Use midi
Strymon Timeline 😎
that pedal delay has reverse and everything. I want this one but i like delay sounds sounded like heaven or caves.
@@cegant yeah. But the pedal is really great for recording some compositions also.
This pedal is awesome, has anyone hear can simulate the sounds dreamtheater made at there song surrounded (3:40) on my DD7 settings p.s
He didn't mention the loop feature
was it going through the fx-loop or in the front?
The fender deluxe reverb models do not have an effects loop
Can you use this for vocals?
Hi, mimoocho dom. You can’t plug a mic directly into the DD7 but there are pedals out there that are specifically designed to interface between a mic and guitar pedals. The Eventide Mixing Link or Radial VocoLoco would both be great options to check out. If you want a delay that is designed to work with a mic, the TC Helicon Voicetone E1 would be your best bet.
Thanks for your interest!

Hi there!
My problem with the dd-8 seems to be finding my way of setting and changing subdivisions WITH MY FOOT... So I need to know :
=> if i can use the external Footswitch, to tab in a subdivision (e.g. dotted 8th)?
=> can i do this while i play, without holding for 2 sec first?
=> can i, by this method, change subdivisions, while playing, by just physically tabbing in their different rythmical signatures (e.g. the "1-2-123" or alternatively the "1-2-3-4-1-234" for the dotted 8th...) at any time? Like, just how Antoine shows it here, @ 01:40m: th-cam.com/video/X6483Aq8nfQ/w-d-xo.html
I would be grateful for a an informed answer from someone who actually did this...
thanxalot^^
Boss DD7's true bypass?
No, it's most definitely not. Afaik, Boss compact pedals are buffered bypass, all of them, always. But I did a bit of research and it seems it has complete analog dry through, be it engaged or bypassed. That's also way more important. The buffers in the Boss compact pedal range are usually decent enough.
Buffered but you won't tell a difference

Does this have a tape delay setting?
Hey, Josh. Thanks for your question! There isn't a tape delay setting on this pedal. There's "analog" which rolls off the highs of the repeats, and "modulate" which pitch alters the repeats for dimension and fattening. The two combined would emulate a tape delay, but in this case they're separate on the Boss. We carry several delays from Wampler, Keeley, JHS and Strymon (among others) that are specifically "tape delay/echo".
Please contact me direct if I misunderstood or didn't answer your question.

No, this is a digital delay pedal but has an analog setting. Tape is another thing entirely, look up belle epoch for that
Oh my god that sounds amazing. Too bad it's crushingly expensive
try your local pawnshop cash & loan store. I picked up one at random $90 used mint condition without box/manual was looking for dod icebox-analog chorus close to the boss ce5 chorus ensemble.
ebay/reverb.com has them occasionally at good price like what I paid used. You need snag it up when you find at low price.
Ebay is worth try for a used version, perhaps go for an earlier version, say the DD3. While not cheap, I don't see it as crushingly expensive though. The Waza pedals I think are the expensive ones.
I lucked out a few days ago and picked one up at a pawn shop for $48 in mint condition. No chips or scratches.
I got one for 150 used. Works fine.
why does this pedal so scratchy when you add distortion to it? When I play the dd-3 it sounds so much more cleaner.
This pedal has 2 inputs, so does that mean that you could plug 2 guitars into it?
+jarne verbs I would imagine so, just that depending on the setup, one guitar will only be heard on one speaker and the other on the other speaker.
that's pretty cool, so if my 2th guitarists amp breaks, he could plug into mine using this.
You can’t play any of those chords if you find yourself on an oak ridge boys gig

Can you explain sales engineer? There is no such thing...I have s B.S.M.E. and a M.D. Are these guys selling musical instruments with engineering degree's?
