Please, help me if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options ZMD Posted July 2, If you use tap tempo a lot, I would say get a DD Tap tempo on the DD-6 seems frustrating. Lanefair Posted July 2, Author Members. I guess I will go for the DD Crxsh Posted July 2, The DD-7 pwns the DD-6 in every conceivable way. NetStar Posted July 2, Echo Park has no more. TheKrabsman Posted July 2, Hows the Headrush compare with aforementioned pedals?
Posted July 3, Yeah, didn't think so :poke:. Dude, he's gotta say the DD-6 is better so he can make the moneyz from selling it. Archived This topic is now archived and is closed to further replies. Taking this into consideration, the original stompbox digital delay has enjoyed uninterrupted production for over 30 years! This longevity serves as an enduring testament to the skill and expertise of the BOSS engineering and development teams in getting it just right the first time out.
Like the DD-3, which was released at the same time, the DSD-3 took advantage of plummeting component costs to bring a less expensive version of the DSD-2 to the market. Why am I including it here? Because delay functionality is offered as one of its many sound modes. On a side note, digital reverb itself is technically a time delay effect; it uses many closely spaced delay repeats and other processing to produce the final sound. It also pulled a lot of current, so the RV-2 could only run on the supplied AC power adapter no batteries.
It can be set up to one octave up or down, or to any interval in-between with Manual mode. The RV-3 was the successor to the RV-2, and featured great performance gains thanks to a next-generation custom DSP and general improvements in digital technologies.
It also cost less, and could run on a 9-volt battery. As you can imagine, all these cool capabilities resulted in one wildly popular pedal! While the delay functionality is the same as the PS-2, the pitch-shifting abilities were really expanded. Pitch can be shifted up or down over two full octaves, and a Detune mode allows you to create chorus-like tones. In addition, each of these functions can be used in dual modes, where you can create two independent pitch shifts at once.
Each can also be sent to separate outputs when the pedal is used in stereo. BOSS addressed this performance gap with the DD-5 , and added a lot of high-end features along with it. Along with the ability to provide two seconds of delay time, the DD-5 offers eleven different delay modes, making it the most advanced pedal delay at the time by far. Tempo-sync delays are also available, with the ability to tap in the time via an external footswitch. However, the simplicity and great sound of the DD-3 continued to hit the sweet spot for lots of players, and is the reason why it remains in the lineup to this day.
First off, the max delay was increased to 5. The Hold function was also enhanced, with 5. In addition to these feature tweaks, the DD-6 introduced an all-new Warp mode, which allows you to easily create tape-style pitch and oscillation effects just by pressing and holding the pedal switch.
This approach was widely embraced by creative musicians everywhere, and the series soon began to expand. In , the DD brought digital delay to the Twin Pedal format, and it quickly became the top choice for players looking for advanced delay features in stomp form. Eleven sound modes provide a variety of delay flavors, including the standard DD-3 style delay, warm BBD analog and tape emulations including dual-head Space Echo effects , reverse, SOS sound-on-sound , and more.
Warp mode from the DD-6 is also included, as well as new Smooth and Twist modes for additional unique sounds. With a whopping 23 seconds of delay time, handy LED display, and memories for storing four delay settings in addition to the current manual setting, the DD provided capabilities that put it at the top of its class when introduced and that still outrank most pedals today.
The two onboard pedal switches make tap tempo, memory select, and other delay operations easier, and an external switch can be plugged in for additional control. Though there were a number of different models through the years, the RE Space Echo was both the enduring benchmark and most popular.
With three separate playback heads, built-in spring reverb, and distinctive position Mode Selector, the RE was easy to use and capable of a wide range of creative, organic echo effects.
DD7 does all of that, with much longer repeats possible, plus various analogue sim and modulated delays, plus a looper. Neither of them is the original type of delay, which was 'analogue', based on a charge coupled bucket brigade circuit. This is not as pure as digital, and has its own sound that some people prefer, hence they are still made.

The Belle Epoch does the Echoplex thing really well. The Flashback however is the versatile one of the bunch. If had to choose one it would be the Flashback. I broke down today and bought the Flashback. It's pretty mind boggling, but I can't imagine it not doing what I expected from the Boss pedals.
I figured if I don't like it I have a month to return it, but don't think that's going to happen. It's the beginning of upgrading as my playing improves.
Where does the Flashback belong in the chain? Thanks for the help. Here's a shot of where my pedalboard stands right now. Thinking about an EQ Vindibona1 , Jun 1, Belongs at the end, has a looper too.
Have fun. RockerXDX , Jun 1,
