It is an amazing pedal, so versatile and so many sounds possibilities. With an extra pedal in, you have the tap tempo use, even without the extra pedal, just by pressing, but there's also an extra effect called TWIST. On the warp mode, you extend the note by pressing the pedal. And last but not least, the ping pong effect again, by pressing the pedal, on the last effect mode.
Davide how would you use the ‘twist’ mode, you said it is an extra effect. I have a Boss DD20 but thinking of selling it to buy the DD8, but I love the Twist effect.
You're quite right about shimmer. The compounding octaves add up, and can become too much. It's easy for it to become an unpleasant mess. It requires a lot of filtering, and maybe even compression with some extended delay lengths. Shimmer is an effect I searched for many years. For a long time there were few options. Unless you had an eventide rack unit, a few plug-ins for your DAW you were out of luck. Boss took a long time to release this sound, but I'm happy they did it well.
This has a true stereo processing pathway. It does not sum to mono before applying the effect. The DD-2 - DD-7 all sum to mono before output. This maintains a true stereo sound in the effects loop of your stereo modelling system effects loop.
I love me self isolating delays! Sounds great (as expected), and with each new version, they sneak in some cool stuff; a far cry from my old guitarist's mid 80's version, lol. This really was upstaged by the 200 series; cool video, and great playing!
Got a DD3 myself, at the tail of my fx loop, it's simple, 3 general lengths of delay (I keep it on the longest) and a hold function where the length determines how long the section you capture is. In front of it I have my matthews astronomer and dimaond memory lane jr. Great combo.
Yeah absolutely...I’m feel the same...there are only a few pedals that do the shimmer thing without sounding cheesey and this is definitely one of them
@@TSFAHTPS It's almost worth it just for that. But with the "secret" functionality of subdivisions, various routing options and the "glitch" and "twist" modes (total Ed O'Brian Radiohead territory) it's kind of a winner. Shame I just bought a NUX Duotime but it's not like Boss are going out of business anytime soon! Great stuff, guys. Currently binging your Mozztronics uploads. Such cool pedals.
Hi Guys, Thanks for the demo. I have just started playing at 71 years young and I have just bought this pedal. I know absolutely nothing about pedals. Do I have to change the settings on my guitar, Fender Strat. when it's plugged in or does the pedal overide the guitar Tone, etc. Sorry for asking stupid questions. Kind regards. Greg.
Nice job fellas. I think the dd8 is taken for granted for sure, if some company with cooler graphics/reputation who knows. Not that they haven't sold thousands. But you're right about that shimmer, not a fav of mine but that one works.
Nice demo guys. The pedal has a lot of nice features. I like all of them except, I don't think I'd ever find a practical use for "Glitch" in a normal playing situation. I know already I would probably never use it aside from a fun thing in between songs lol
Probably because the DD-8 is not as good as the older Boss delay stomp boxes. Sure, it has some features... but the DD-8 is finicky at best, which is why it has already been recalled. My DD-8 doesn't even do stereo delay AT ALL (I've looked up the instructions to re-program it to stereo and it does NOT work). It's also very stupid that you have to re-program the pedal just to use it... aside from the fact that re-programing it doesn't even work. If you're thinking about getting a DD-8... get a DD-7 instead... seriously. The DD-8 is garbage.
The DD-8 is the ONLY compact Boss delay pedal that doesn’t sum to mono before outputting the effect. It’s a true stereo circuit. This comment above is by a muppet who can’t understand complexity. It’s a great delay pedal and sounds amazing on panning and wide stereo modes. Subdivisions can be set as outlined in the manual that most people won’t take the time to read.
@@rareform6747 My comment wasn't about the merits of a Boss Delay, it was mainly about your lack of basic grammar. I'm going to conclude (by your response) that English is NOT your first language, so I'll refrain from further scrutiny of your Tarzan-like speech pattern. Peace!!
I really like the source audio collider but Boss is probably just as good in terms of Digi Delays. They never really get it wrong....except the metal zone...sorry everyone
You think the metal zone is boss' worst pedal?! Alone there's probably 10 worse BOSS distortion pedals... Mega distortion...turbo distortion...digital metallizer etc. There's plenty of videos online showcasing how great the metal zone is. Way to think for yourself! 👍
So if I watch videos saying there are 10 worse Boss pedals and metal zone is great is that thinking for myself? Or if 'I' play a metal zone and hated it do I need a second opinion?
@@marty2481 Dude, ive tried pretty much every distortion pedal from boss. The mt-2 is not even close to the worst. Let alone the worst boss pedal. (eh2) In the end its all subjective anyways. Seems like its the "cool" thing to rag on mt2. Watch eytschpi42 review the mt2...."its not for beginners"

You did that Reverse delay setting justice. Most beautiful
Thank you!!

Reverse Alley is also where I live...
Thank you...yeah it definitely didn’t get quite as much attention as the DD200! It’s a great pedal...reverse alley is the best!!

The cheesiest sounding shimmer has to be Mooer's shimverb pro! Probably the worst shim out there.
But I like the EHX Canyon’s shimmer even more. It’s addicting
I've had a DD2 and a DD6.Thank you for this video as I was looking for a MOD delay and BOSS have packed so much into this
I'm getting one of these ASAP to pair with my BOSS RV-6 Reverb/Delay.

I love mine. Doesn't seem to have been given much attention.
The best delay pedal ever produced.
Where?
Can you used DD DELAY to sing too? Like a vocal effect for live singing?
DD2 or DD3 with long chip is still the kings. I must add that the DD-8 is super cool with great features, the most fun single delay by Boss so far
Nice demo guys.
The pedal has a lot of nice features.
I like all of them except, I don't think I'd ever find a practical use for "Glitch" in a normal playing situation. I know already I would probably never use it aside from a fun thing in between songs lol
Wow, that shimmer is good, but i also think you showed a good way to get it to come out…nice demo
Thank you very much!!
Great demo guys. Another great offering from Boss!
“Nothing’s more sinister than a semi-tone.” 🙂👍🏿🤘
Anyone else having trouble finding dotted eighth settings using an external footswitch?
I haven't tried yet...but I will have a look
You can set subdivisions. It's in the manual.
Yes it is
agree!!
Dd8 feels like very powerful 's !!!! In low prices....
Why no compare vs dd3, dd5 and dd7?
kosmicwizard there will be a video like that coming out sometime soon...

I like the DD-3T the best.
It sums to mono before the effect is applied.
@@Place_to_keep_videos The DD-3T is mono in.
Dd2 are early .dd3 plus ....now !
Professional are need many ,many kind of effects. Added .all in one .DD200 .! DD 500 ! I see.i need ....dd200 .will ....be
In boss dd stands for digital, " an analog 's , plus more effects added.total ' up , built for professional 's....
Boss good for buffer . Most are dead lifeless delays . There tuners are needed in the line .
Why do you speak like Tarzan?
@@tomfoolery342 you can ring a shinny object but can't face up , lifeless Boss Delays ! Mooo

Nah
"Like" before I watch the demo :-)
Haha...thank you choi dh
I see.i need a dd3t will more than enough
DD 8 , boss are best pedals ....in small sizes...

Watch Ola Englund’s video on it. You’ll know how to use it, which is “as a preamp”.
DD 8 for upgrades. To pro versions
So many bad opinions in this comment section.
Great pedal…. Alex the Hipster should only be turning knobs, rather than strangling that beautiful guitar and making us all cringe.
