Boss DD3 Tricks

  • I take some time to demonstrate what you can do with a Boss DD3 digital delay. For the nerds: It's a blue label, japanese edition (not sure of the year, don't care). These are not the standard sounds like the "Edge" sound or some others you see quite often. These are just some sounds I found by messing around with the delay that I haven't heard before.
    In the first part I take a short delay with fairly high feedback to create a trashy reverb sound. It works quite well but beware of feedback or bass booms while you're recording. The setting on the speed switch is on the shortest setting.
    The second sound is meant to emulate a short bass loop with the hold function on the pedal. You can play any kind of pattern you manage to cram in that short time passage after you find the octave of your desired tempo. Octave of your desired tempo = first set a tempo you like to play over, play a note then speed up the delay time until you hit the octave of that note. After that, you drop it back to the original tempo. That's it.
    The metallic overtones are produced because of very short d. time and high feedback and the delay starts to go into self oscillation. It's reminiscent of some playable ring mod sounds.
    The glitchy riff effect is hard to achieve at first, but after some practice it's possible to get it right. The key is to play in one scale to sound musical. I mean, you can play any assortment of notes you wish. Be creative and have fun. The more delay time you set, the more notes you can play in a sequence. Don't expect to get a repeatable result!
    I hope you enjoyed the demonstration. I have more sounds and I'll show them later.
    Have fun and take care.

    2014 seems so distant now. I want that glitchy song at the end to be an anthem to when I used to care a lot about music, guitar pedals and funny noises. Simpler times.

    The "warmth" factor of the DD-2 and DD-3 make them the most unique delay pedals along with their versatility. While their enclosures are white, they'll always be the gold standard for my playing! The DM-2 is a close second but still a pretty good separation as far as the flexibilities of the DD-2 and 3. You can have all the "boutique" pedals you desire but give me a DD-2 and or 3 and I'll make magic happen!

    They need to make a Waza version of this one: more delay time, modulation, trails, exp pedal input... All with the same variable sample rate principle used in the DD-3. Something like a poor man's Lexicon PCM 42... A Waza DD-3 :)

    Ever tried the Dive Bomb fx that Eddie used on the end of Eruption. You can do it with the DD3 you got close to the concept @ 1:29. Trick is One repeat & hit not cut vol & change the timing to drop down way Low.

    I love the glitch effect. Does anybody know if this can be done with any self oscilating delay? I'm interested in getting an EQD Avalanche Run that has a self oscilating function but I don't know if the Boss does anything special that the EQD doesn't.

  • @paulj0557tonehead

    I bought a Boss DD1 to replace my Watkins Copicat Mk-IV back in 1985. Okay okay, I wasn't one of THOSE guys. I kept the Copicat. Although there was so much old gear to be had for cheap in the early days of digital. See that word "vintage" didn't come into vogue, and never leave, until the 90's. By then ten year old digital gear was called vintage. In 85' when living in Hollywood, 'going to the GIT' I would hit up the guitar stores for old gear. I paid $15 for a working Maestro Phase Shifter. One day I paid the sales guy $75 and he gave me 3 amp chassis- A brown face Fender Bassman, a black face Fender Bassman (1964), and a black face Fender Twin Reverb. All of the transformer were good and the repairs were minimal.
    That's how I learned to service amps. I bought a compete set (I think 4) of 1950 US Army Electronics course. Between that and my 1936 RCA Tube Manual, a VOM, a white noise generator I made, a bunch of alligator clip wires, and a ton of parts I amassed from Hollywood's electronics junk stores...well I learned how to service and modify guitar amps. The PIV MASTER VOLUMES are the #1 amp mod. No high powered Marshall, Ampeg, Orange, Hi-Watt, Sound City, Laney, or similar (Not Fender, Gibson, they se a diffrent type MV) should be without. A Master Volume allows you to distort your preamp! Not just for 'bedroom levels', but all levels, even loud. Understand? Even your brand new reissue Plexi Marshall needs a PIIV MASTER VOLUME...Only 1 dual potentiometer, 2 capacitors, and you just lift two junction, that's it! Put the knob on the back of the amp... Will it detract from the value of the aamp? NO, because they were a Commons upgrade of the era the amps were sold. A MASTER VOLUME 's knob can be installed in an existing hole, like one of the INPUTS on te front of the amp, on the back in place of the AUX SPKR jack. 😊

    FYI...
    "The reason that the PPIMV works so well in most Marshall circuits is
    because a significant component of the distorted tone in a classic Marshall
    style amp comes from PI distortion, not output section distortion. It fails
    to achieve the same degree of success in BF and SF Fender amps because most
    of their distortion occurs elsewhere in the circuit.
    This actual PPIMV circuit was included in some of the Marshall JCM800 amps
    that featured a master volume control. Its first use as a "mod" for
    Marshall style amps is attributable to a fellow named Joe Varela. It was
    first published as a "mod" for Marshalls, and credited to Joe Varela, in
    Craig Anderton's "Electronic Guitar" column in Guitar Player magazine in
    December 1982. The publishing date was 12/1982, page 113.
    The PPIMV actually pre-dates Rich, who apparently copied it from one of
    the MV-equipped JCM800 Marshalls and has made a name for himself, at least
    at the LPF, by applying it to older Marshalls.
    Interestingly, when copying the MV circuit from the MV JCM800, Rich
    apparently failed to recognize the safety value of the final pair of
    coupling caps and omitted them from his version of the PPIMV mod. By
    omitting these coupling caps, his implementation of the PPIMV mod fails to
    isolate the master volume control (and the front panel of the amp) from DC
    voltages, which is a major safety faux-pas.
    For safety reasons, I'd recommend using Joe Varela's circuit, not Rich's
    abbreviated version of Joe's circuit, as the last pair of coupling caps
    serve to keep DC voltage off of the master volume control, and off of the
    front panel.
    Instead of calling it the Rich Mod and giving credit to the wrong guy, it
    looks like we should really be calling it the Joe Varela Mod, or the Joe
    Mod. ;)"

      You can with The RV-3 it's a Delay & Verb lots of crazy stuff can be conjured outta that one to. Btw Eddie use a delay to get that Dive bomb at the end of Eruption you can do it with the DD3 one of his secrets he uses a whammy bar to do it live now. But if you listen to the record you can get that low of a note w/the bar depressed fully down. He used a Delay one repeat cut the vol on Guitar & turn the time & it does the detuning aka Dive bomb heard at the end of Eruption.
