Keeley Electronics no longer offers their famous mods making this pedal a rare find! The modded DD-3 has been a favorite for years...
This is a classic delay pedal made more versatile with the mods, which give the delays a more analog sound.
The mods include a 3 position toggle switch:
Left position: Slightly rolls the high end off the delay repeats giving a more analog sound.
Right position: Rolls the high end off a bit more than the left switch, also offering a more analog sound.
Center position: This is the stock, original DD-3 digital delay sound for pristine digital repeats.
The mod also includes an effects loop which allows you to hook up a pedal of your choice to the DD-3 - whatever pedal you use in the effects loop will effect the sound of the delay repeats only. Offers endless sonic possibilities!
Comes with the manual for the original Boss DD-3, the manual for the Keeley DD3 Mod and the cable needed to use the effects loop.
From the Keeley website:
"... offering two settings that better emulate the sound of analog delays, an “Analog Feel” switch — reducing the treble in the repeats, thus softening up the sound of the delayed signal to recreate the signal loss inherent in bucket brigade style and tape delays. The first setting offers a gentle roll off, the second a bit more, approaching the sound of tape delay but without the wow and flutter associated with the effect. The center position bypasses the EQ capacitors, returning the DD-3’s stock sound, producing full bandwidth repeats.
The effects loop of the is where a player’s creativity can run wild. This is where you take any old phaser, chorus, or flanger you have laying around and connect it to the loop. Now your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. repeats are processed through the loop. Now many of the analog tape effects can be added in a new way to your trusty DD-3. Drive pedals can even be used to “brown” the sound, but be careful to always make sure the drive pedal’s volume level is set for less than unity gain as any boost in the effects loop will result in run-away feedback. One of the easiest and best sounding things is just a cheap chorus pedal in the loop. Sounds terrific!"
