A Reigning Delay Just Got Better

For more than 30 years, the DD-3 has been a staple on pedalboards worldwide. The Boss DD-3T builds on that legacy with onboard tap tempo, streamlined loop access, a relocated dry output, and up to 800ms of the same mirror-image repeats players have relied on for decades.

Onboard Tap Tempo with Subdivisions

Tap into the exact tempo of your song using the onboard switch or an optional external tap switch. Three subdivision options — quarter note triplets, dotted eighths, or straight quarters — let you lock into the right rhythmic feel for any style.

Up to 800ms of Picture-Perfect Repeats

Three delay ranges and a comprehensive D.Time control give you everything from tight rockabilly slapback to chased-delay ambient textures. The DD-3T's tone is clean, bright, and shimmery — never sterile — making it the definitive bread-and-butter pedalboard delay.

Short Loop Mode

The original DD-3's beloved Hold feature is fully preserved as Short Loop mode. Capture and continuously loop up to 800ms of sound — a pad, riff, or texture — and play over the top for dynamic stage moments.

Relocated Dry Output

The Direct Out (dry output) has been moved to the same side as the wet output for a more intuitive workflow. Run the dry signal to your amp's preamp and the wet signal to your FX loop for full wet/dry control.
