This loaded pedal delivers more of everythingmore 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 colors from basic to exotic, plus a looper with unlimited overdub capability and external control support. For maximum versatility in a minimum amount of space, theres no better delay stomp than the DD-8.

Highlights

Built-In Looper
Having a looper on your pedalboard is a handy thingits great for practice, checking sounds at gigs, and creating on-the-fly backing while performing. The DD-8s looper mode has you covered, so you dont have to take up precious space with a dedicated pedal. All looper functions can be controlled with the onboard switch, providing all-in-one operation. But if you prefer to work with extended controls, just connect one or two footswitches to operate the loopers stop and clear functions externally.

Smart I/O for Easy Setup
The DD-8s inputs and outputs have smart functionality, allowing you to set the pedal for any application simply by connecting cables in different ways. A variety of mono and stereo connections are supported, including discrete dry and effect outputs for wet/dry setups. Its even possible to defeat the dry signal entirely, perfect for delay-only blending in a parallel effects loop.
