"Great delay pedal!"

This is a really cool delay pedal! I really like how many features there are such as different delay times, an analog feature, and reverse feature. The tap tempo feature is really handy too for on-the-fly delay timing. The only slight downside is that it takes a while to dial in the perfect delay setting, depending on what you're looking for.

"You like delay? buy a boss DD7"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
i use it whenever i can implement it in my band, and also the looper station entertains me for hours when i need to work on riffs and song writing.
Sound
Thing is perfect, when you diddle with the knobs you really feel like you're changing the sound, the delay, the feedback. Everything modifies the way you want it to be modified. This isn't a pedal you just turn on and off, you gotta mess with it.
Features
Features? its built like a box, the effects from delay frequencies, looper built in, and reverse effects with an analog chorus? Screw the visual sound h20 pedal. Get this one, its cheaper and more efficient.
Ease of Use
foot steps on pedal. Pedal works.
Quality
Its a boss product.
Value
i bought mine off ebay for 100 bucks perfect condition.
Manufacturer Support
haven't needed support, which means well built product.
The Wow Factor

Before getting this pedal I already had a dd20 in my setup but now that I have these two together, it is just amazing the things you can do with these both combined! Boss makes some real good pedals made to last and this one does not fall short from that category

The boss DD-7 is a solid choice for a delay pedal. Does mostly everything you could want a delay to do. Reverse function is a really awesome addition to the DD-7. The ability to add a FS-5U footswitch to the unit is a must for the live musician who needs to tap tempo for delay on the fly. I would recommend this pedal for anyone looking to add a delay to their pedal chain. This is a must have.

"Nice sounding dela7"

I bought a DD7 and Flashback Mini at the same time. The DD7, I've known about for years. It sounds great...Boss has some great delays...ALMOST as good as TC. I love the fact that you can use the external tap pedal. Looping option is nice...I use the analog delay setting with the 2290 preset on the Flashback...they work very well together. Plus because it's Boss it's built like a tank

"A great buy!"

To be very honest, I regretted selling mine, I went on a venture thinking there are tons of other delay pedal that are better and there are! but as far as reliability issues and consistency,The Boss DD-7 surpasses allot on this price range and function capability's. I had two of these on my pedalboard set differently and it was great,no tone loss or I couldn't even tell. That's coming from a very overly picky person concerning tone! If you got one of these,don't sell it unless its a matter of life or death situation. Now I gotta save up all over and deal with my intermittent, made in china, visual sound dual tap delay. I have bunch of other boss pedals and not one of them ever crap out on me for as long as I've own Boss pedals over the last 25 yrs of playing live and studio! go figure I'll stick to the Boss from now on....

I had been wanting one of these pedals for a long time and zZounds enabled me to get it with their Play As You Pay Program. The DD7 is everything I thought it would be. It is easy to use and has great sound. I play mainly 60's & 70's Classic Rock and The Shadows and Ventures. The DD7 helped me to get that fantastic Hank Marvin sound on my Strat that I also purchased from zZounds.com. zZounds is great and is the best online music store there is. They have came through every time for me and I will continue to purchase my gear and guitars from zZounds. The reason I gave Manufacturer Support 1 star is because I haven't had to use it.

"Great Delay Pedal!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
I love this pedal. The sound quality is great and the modes really get your imagination going. For me it's a must have.
Features
I usually mess around with de Feedback and Delay Time knobs and I get some very intersting sounds from it! One thing that is cool also is when I turn off the delay the sound doesn't break and I can continue to play without the delay. The tap tempo is really easy to use. But there is something that could be better. When on Hold for recording I can't use the Delay. That's a real shame...
Ease of Use
Very easy to use. 4 knobs. Level Feedback Delay Time Mode Simple!
Quality
It's a Boss! I have dropped the pedal a few times and it's still workin' A little bit of the paint went of and the Level knob is a little beated up. It's rock solid!
Value
It's worth it!
Manufacturer Support
Never needed (and I guees I never will)
