Boss DD-8 Digital Delay — Eleven Modes in One Compact Enclosure

The Boss DD-8 Digital Delay offers the widest sonic range available in a BOSS compact pedal. Access a spectrum of delay types, from clean digital to tape, shimmer, and experimental sounds, all selectable with a rotary dial. Designed for versatility, the DD-8 includes stereo I/O, a robust looper, and support for external foot control, making it a comprehensive delay solution for any pedalboard.

Warp, GLT, and Twist — Expressive Modes for Dynamic Play

Hold the footswitch in Warp mode to create evolving ambient swells, or press for GLT’s stuttering glitches. Plugging in an external footswitch enables Twist across all delay modes, giving instant access to dramatic echo textures during a performance without manual knob adjustments.
