Did some research and chose this guy for use with my Bass guitar. I needed something versatile, reliable, and easy to manage. We play with in-ear monitors and a click track so every song has specific timing for things. I wanted a delay I could dial in the timing to a specific BPM and choose which note is getting the delay beat. And here I introduce the DD-500 - Boom Son! Sounds great with Bass guitar, countless options and capabilities, quick learning curve, ability to save tons of settings and pull them up quickly while on stage. Everything from super tight punchy delay sounds, to that washed out muddy swirling sound you can use for intro and outro bits. Stunning. Why buy something else when you could have the Millennium Falcon. "It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs" - Han Solo zZounds is amazing! great customer service, thank you for the ease of payment option if needed, and for timely deliveries!!

Well, I've had this for right at a week now. I cannot even begin to explain just how versatile this delay is. If you're on a budget, it could even do chorus and reverb in a pinch (not the best chorus or reverb, but decent), but what this thing excells at is out of this world unique delay sounds. It can do all your standard delays, and it can do them very well for a digital reproduction of them. The only one that I'm not completely satisfied with is the tape delay mode. Its decent for sure, but nowhere near as good as a stand alone tape delah repro. The rest of them, well I would challenge anyone to tell the difference between the dd500 and what theyre trying to emulate. A very seasoned pro maybe able to, but your average dude I'm the crowd wouldn't be able to tell the difference for sure. The value here is truly unparalleled. What you're getting is the highest fidelity delay on the market, and a delay that is capable of almost anything you could possibly want and a whole lot that you never even realized you wanted, lol. This unit has a few delays that are even unique to boss that you wouldn't find in another brand. The tera echo, shimmer, and sfx modes are delays that you would spend well over 300 dollars for on their own if you wanted to get the same sound with stomp boxes. The many presets on here are amazing. I could probably just sit there all day switching between them and creating riffs to match each unique mode. You can also create a near endless amount of your own patches as well, with extreme tweakability on nearly every parameter. If you're the type that just wants to plug and play though, Thats not a problem either, with nearly 200 presets that range from classic to insane, you can just jam away without having to bend down and tweak knobs, while using nearly the full range of this unit. I have never been more satisfied with a gear purchase than I am with this. I'm not usually a fan of digital effects or multi effects units at all, because the quality suffers with the versatility. Most of them do a lot of things but none of them well. This thing does a lot of things and all of them well. Very well even. I am sure that I will still be experimenting and finding new sounds for years to come with this. What else can you pay 300 dollars for and get that many hours of joy from?! You get the standard delays we all know and love, and easy accessibility also, to make this a gigging machine. Once you get home to your bedroom or studio, it doubles as the ultimate experimental oddity of a pedal. I would buy this over and over again, though I'm sure it'll last as its built like a tank. So, if you're looking for a versatile delay, or you're unfamiliar with delay and dont know what you like, don't hesitate to buy this pedal. I couldn't see anyone regretting it.

I have seen my share of videos , I am not one who treads lightly when it comes to getting involved with finding out what I need to know about my gear I want,. I have had my pedals from Strymon to tc, cheap pedals. If your gonna go big go big,. Yes there’s a learning curve but with that come s big rewards the Strymon pedals are the top until boss came in ,. They can do a lot of effect pedals amazing the reason I went with boss was cost, the sample rate of boss 32 bit ,.and the routing options, as well the 9volt power to run them,. These 500 series are amazing I currently own the dd500 an the Rv500 together simple put they work killer Strymon is easy if you want but it’s more money the thing it runs on 300ma which eats up my power space,. And the lower bit rating the source audio has 56 bit which is cool easy; but it didn’t have the warmth or sound it’s also a bit dark sounding,.but the investment I feel is with boss just my opinion . I have just cracked the surface an potential with the pedal I figure in another year you’ll be hearing a lot more about it as people figure it out more and what I can do. I think people give up too soon before they have really given it a chance. People just want something to make them sound good they don’t wanna work for it.

I do not think anyone could forge an argument that this is not the delay of choice for $300. I find it has the features I need and actually does things others do not. Once you get in there and really tweak on the modes and param adjusts you are going to find it can do what you want and maybe more so. Things that are important to me are bandwidth fidelity, processing quality, multiple modes of delays, a phrase looper, an all important actual ms readout, and presets. Nothing really has more than this unit, an A/B of 99 banks is certainly more than you can use. You can get into this and get it to do just a flange or chorus sound, so many cool delays just waiting to be tweaked in to ones sonic ideal. I am not really a fan of Boss and this is the 1st Boss pedal I have messed with in ages, but this is new level of design and quality that not only competes with higher priced units but in some ways give them more than a run for the money. Sure Nemesis is a great delay but no readout, how do you know where the proper ms or interval of a 5th is if you can't see it, put a tuner after the delay, guess? All the benefits of a Strymon flagship and a few things like Terra, and SPX it does not offer. Well worth the price tag. The Delay of choice for my opinion.
