Boss DD-8 Digital Delay

DIVERSE SONIC RANGE, MAXIMUM DELAY POWER

This loaded pedal delivers more of everything - more great sounds, more delay time, more control options, and more connectivity. And it does it all in a standard BOSS pedal that slides easily into any mono or stereo setup. Eleven modes provide delay colours from basic to exotic, plus a looper with unlimited overdub capability and external control support. For maximum versatility in a minimum amount of space, there's no better delay stomp than the DD-8.
