The next step in compact delay.

The BOSS DD-7 Digital Delay is a guitar effects pedal that takes the best features from its predecessors and expands their creative potential. You get Modulation Delay mode, classic modeled Analog Delay mode, External pedal control options, longer delay time, and more. Even with the best-selling delays in compact-pedal history, BOSS continues to push the envelope and innovate.

Expanded Delay Time
Up to 6.4 seconds of delay time are available with the DD-7, a marked increase from its predecessor. In addition, Hold mode allows up to 40 seconds of input to be recorded for creating "sound on sound" performances.

Delay Modes
The BOSS DD-7 pedal is equipped with two innovative and advanced delay modes. Modulation Delay provides chorus-flavored sounds. Analog Delay offers a modeled simulation of the classic BOSS DM-2, beloved for its characteristic warmth.

External Control
For handsfree control of the DD-7 pedal, an external footswitch and Expression pedal (sold separately) can be used. Tap tempo can be controlled from an external footswitch, while delay time, feedback, and effect level can be changed on the fly via Expression pedal.

Stereo Output
Create amazing effects with the BOSS DD-7 pedal's stereo output, such as spatial audio sweeps via true stereo panning. You can also use the stereo outputs to create separate dry and wet signal paths - handy for recording and live-performance control.

For those of you who have been saying that it has too many unnecessary features, I beg to differ. I play some Radiohead styled alternative and I have to say the reverse delay is killer. I also love the loop effect, especially when I'm at home practicing and don't have my rhythm guitar guy to back me up. Great pedal from boss and I encourage that you get this over any other digital delay if you want that spacey indie/alternative sound!

I like the sound of the delay itself, but this pedal has a buzz when plug in. It has a good delay sound and nice tap tempo. And the reverse delay is the best I've heard. It's an all around good delay.

Great features, most pointless

I play metal an rock. I just love having the rich tone of reverb and a good delay backing it. This is great for what I need but I only need like 3 different settings: short, long, and a very heavy, ambient delay for some weird techniques I use. This is a great pedal but it is way overpriced because of the useless stuff on it.

I have this pedal and I think it's a really cool delay. Cool features but some of them just seem kinda pointless, like the longest delay time and the reverse. Battery runs out quick and it doesn't sound that good with my amp's distortion. But it sounds great from the distorsion from my MXR +.

Almost awesome

Reviewer's Play Style: all but metal

I'm a delay guy and I like all the bells and whistles. I recently got the DD-7 but returned it in about a week because although the quality is top notch, I was dissapointed that there is no stereo effects in this thing. There's no "ping pong" or "pan," which in recording or playing with two amps is a must. I upgraded to the Giga Delay, and that one even has some limitations. For less than the price of the DD-7 the Line 6 Echo Park has way more features (there's no looping on the Line 6, but there's stereo effects, three types of modulation and tap tempo that's easier to use than that of the DD-7). Now I use the Line 6 Echo Park running through the Boss Giga Delay and I feel that for the price I have all the echo I need.
