Boss DD-7 Digital Delay Pedal 2008
The industry-standard compact delay pedal. The DD-7 expands on classic Boss delay algorithms, offering up to 6.4 seconds of delay time, Modulation Delay mode for lush chorus-like textures, classic analog Warm Delay mode modeling the legendary DM-2, and a Hold mode providing 40 seconds of sound-on-sound looping. Full stereo inputs and outputs allow wide spatial imaging in any signal chain.
