Launched in 1986, Boss’s DD‑3 is a genuine classic: a straightforward workhorse of a pedal that sounds clean, is easy to use and small enough to fit onto a pedalboard.

The original BOSS DD-3 has been in continuous production for more than three decades now - an incredible feat for a compact pedal. Tap tempo enabled, you can quickly tap in your ideal tempo without even having to bend down and fiddle with the dials. Also, unlike some delay units on which the delay time control adjusts the system clock rate, you don’t get a completely smooth speed change when adjusting the delay time knob during performance, so the dub fraternity would need to look elsewhere if that’s a deal‑breaker. For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards. And if your amp or switcher has a parallel effects loop, just connect a dummy plug to the direct out to mute the dry sound for effect-only blending.An all metal casing and heavy duty footswitch ensures it will stand up to even the most heavy footed guitarist, whilst a chunky rubber base means it wont slip out of place at the crucial moment. Boss got so much right that the DD‑3 has remained on sale ever since it was launched, but this year they’ve updated it. In Reverse mode, you can dial in a wet‑only sound if you wish to by maxing out the mix control — perfect for those live, backwards guitar solos. In continuous production for over three decades, the DD-3 has been the go-to delay stomp for countless players. A feedback control determines the amount of repeats whilst a Level control adjusts the volume at which the repeats are heard.

A key addition the DD-3T brings is tap tempo, an essential feature for creating the rhythmic delay effects at the heart of many guitar styles. The DD-3T’s sound circuitry and controls are identical to the DD-3, delivering every drop of that classic vibe you know and love.So, next time I needed a delay pedal with tap tempo I thought why not save a few cents and give the one-sound-only DD-3T a try, if the single sound on it is probably the same as the digital on the DD-8? It produces an odd spiralling effect that I might want to throw in once during an evening to wrong‑foot the audience, but in all honesty probably wouldn’t use a lot.

When in Delay mode, simply hold the pedal switch for two seconds to toggle between Bypass and Tap operation, before tapping out the tempo you wish.

And over three decades later, they've updated this classic stompbox with enhanced functionality, while fully retaining the original’s sound and familiar control layout. With the DD-3T, we’ve updated the classic stomp with enhanced functionality while fully retaining the original’s sound and control layout. Finally, a redesign to the pedal moving the Direct Out next to the Output making easier connections to wet/dry amp setups. With the DD-3T, Boss have updated the classic stomp with enhanced functionality while fully retaining the original’s sound and control layout. Well, you'll be glad to know that the DD-3T's sound circuitry and controls are identical to the original DD-3!
