Man, I get looking at some really interesting, esoteric pedals from “boutique” brands, but I always end up coming back to Boss. They just know how to do a usable, well-rounded pedal.
I remember when I built my pedal board and was browsing all these different pedals and the flack people caught for making “BOSS boards” but BOSS pedals are very well built, they’re incredibly reliable, and the variety offered in each pedal is all up to snuff. The other pedals on the market do have their own “flavor” and things which are unique to them and make them worth owning, but when it comes to staples and “workhorse” applications, BOSS pedals have always been the best and most easily implemented.
Finally a good demo. "Pedal of the day" guy just playing mindless chops, not really understanding how to get the most of the delays being demoed. It's good to have a bit of a plan demoing something like this and not just winging it IMO. Thx, sounds great!
Felix Blacksher thank you! I spend a lot of time with pedals before making a video to learn them and to decide exactly what I want to include in a video. It’s so good to know that it shows!
@@DoNoise yeah definitely. I actually used to do demos in the wee early days of YT so I kinda know the best ways to go about things. Like, nobody wants to hear someone figuring out a pedal on the fly ya know? Anyway, keep doing your thing!
As a guitar player, it's like you are in my head and know exactly what I want you to play and do to make a perfect demo here. Bravo! Thank you! I want one!
Perfect pedal demo, I really appreciate how you did focus on the pedal and its functions and not on fancy lighting or guitar-hero riffs and stuff like that. It is a nice going back to early, effective pedal demos vs the “character” presentation that is all the rage recently (I hope this makes sense). I’m buying this pedal, and I liked and subscribed!
love it. looks like a great modern update to the dd7. The warp, glitch, shimmer, endless reverse feedback ect are a very nice take on the sounds boutique companies are throwing out the last couple of years. for people that want a plain, basic delay there is still the option to buy the boss dd3t. great, now i want one...
Oh damn :( now I want to replace my DD 6 with this, because here the tempo of the glitch is controllable and the warp is actually very usable. They really did something very right here.
Well Done!!! Mine just showed up on my doorstep and this is going to be a great tool to help me on my way...and I so appreciate not having the mindless guitar god stuff. This is probably the best DD-8 video I've seen yet.
Honestly, I passed this up several times because I could see it didn't show the guitar being played. According to all the other videos I've seen, it was confusing trying to separate what they were actually playing with what was the delay. To me, seeing the guitar seemed to help me distinguish the difference. However, I am glad that I finally watched it because you simplified it in such a way that it is easy to make that distinction. Also, the script just makes it so clear. Excellent video in my opinion. Subscribed
Thanks! I agree that sometimes with certain pedals it’s hard to understand what the pedal is doing if you can’t see the guitar player. I always try to keep everything simple (not that I’m holding back the virtuoso in me!) and it works fine, in my opinion.
I have a DD8 coming tomorrow. The very first effect in the video with the +RV and reverb, this is one of the effects I am looking to create. I noticed you strummed right at the beginning before you engaged the pedal. Then notated you were using your volume nob. Were you strumming one string at a time while using the nob and adding each string to the mix? Any explanation you can give to that first effect would be very helpful to me.
I’m playing notes or chords and then turning up the volume. Basic volume swell with the volume knob on my guitar. The feedback knob on the pedal is set to maximum so it keeps repeating those swells, creating a drone.
Great video. This pedal is so versatile, you can get just about as broad a range of delay tones as you can imagine. Stereo ins and outs means it works on keys too, the chorus at 8:21 sounds great on a Rhodes preset. You can do the same thing with +RV, i.e. take the delays right down and get a usable reverb.
More than a marketing demo, this video is educational as the functionality is tastefully demonstrated in a minimalist kinda way. You’ve raised the bar for demo videos. The product’s functionality set is complex. I just bought one and feel validated.
Nice. Great video. Interesting understanding. Especially the loop reverse long delay, trails on, and then tuning off to play over. Very cool. Great work. Looking forward to rewatching when I receive my dd8 this week.
Good video. I have the dd-7. Oh, but you forgot to add one thing. There's something called a hot mix. What you do is you play a chord with a delay going on and then change your feedback and your time knobs live while the sound is still playing out of the amplifier. You will end up with some Radiohead like sounds. They were actually known for doing some hot mixing on some of their CDs in the past before they had access to more advanced technology.
Is anyone interested in a comparison of the same modes of DD-8 and DD-500? Also, check out the description for timestamps. Headphones are highly recommended!
@@deluge1243 Yeah DD-8 modes are probably presets from the DD-500 (except for the Shimmer mode, though. They're very different.) I know some people like that Korg delay a lot but I don't see it around much. Maybe I'll have a chance to try one some day.
Lots to think about here with your demo. I had a Boss DD-5 years ago and didn't think to try some of the stuff you done regarding different outputs and Volume control manipulation.
By inserting the double switch pedal, on the right side, you also manage the tap tempo, besides by pressing the pedal without any switch, and you also get the twist, that you can only have it in this way.
Michael Gorman this is actually very simple if you want it to be. You don’t need to use the extra features if you like its tone and settle on the mode you like.
Amazing video, thanks! I bought the pedal last week and I din't knew how much I could have get out of it! I mean, how to achieve the chorus FX is a really appreciated tip! Other than that, I can't overcome the fact that the pedal accepts a stereo input (wanted to use it to record some outer footages coming from the PC headphones jack) but it doesn't sum it and play it in real time if using the mono output from the pedal. It does it instead, if using the stereo out, but you lose half of the volume from the mono input instrument... That's the only downside to this pedal for me right now!
The DD-7 has been a mainstay staple on my board for years, this I think will have to join it's side now. I've gone through a large amount of delays, including botique, the only ones I'm keeping are the Black Fountain, Dark Star, Meris Polymoon, and a cheap one from FRIDAYCLUB.
Like the DD7,the problem with these BOSS pedals is there is no subdivision control, dotted 8th etc when you select the special fx options like modulated delay.
The biggest oversight by Boss on the DD-8, is that there is no sub-division control that the user can get to quickly. If I wanted to go from a 1/4 note delay to a dotted eighth in a live situation between songs, it's impossible to do quickly. You have to actually unplug the unit and press certain buttons to get there when you plug it back in.
whoa man, very nice one ! Been using the DD7 with my sax for a while now. Just the Glitch and Warp mode are making this one worth playing with. And the Glitch mode is in stereo ! That's super great, even compared to other amazing pedals like the Grazer etc... Cheers !
@Eat your cake and Have it too Hey ! Sorry for the delay (very funny..) Yes, I have a channel with sax and effects music and gear demo :). Here is my most recent upload: ua-cam.com/video/aUMKdPembN0/v-deo.html
Nice! Best Boss DD ever by the sound of it, I have a Nu-X Time Core and that already has most of these features, but I use it conjunction with a Behringer DD600 (cheap Boss DD6 knock off) which I think I will be replacing with one of these.
I own a tonal recall delay which cost a bomb! Wonderful sounding delay but sadly started playing up and having randomly self oscillation time here and there which is a massive no no for life use! I contacted the company to help me but they just seem to lose interest?? thought they would offer to fix it for me?? so after frustration! I decided to go back to Boss! Bought a DM-2w and now ordered a DD-8! Never had a Boss pedal play up on me!! be careful with how you spend you money :) for pricey pedals, I can recommend Thorpyfx, I own a Camoflange and it’s a keeper and given me zero issues
Mine arrived two days ago. Well... I think I’ll need another Marshall now. This pedal is just awesome. Sings. Still diggin into it, but reverse, shim and the looper just worth the price. I have yet to find a mode that I don’t like.. And it sits perfectly before my Digitech Polara reverb.
Thanks! I’m using a Charvel DC-2 (with passive Seymour Duncans) and an HX Stomp with clean Fender amp models. I might have added a subtle reverb on HX Stomp in some parts but there’s nothing else in the signal chain.
Presently my favorite is TC Nova Delay because of BPM and precise ms. readout. I use the 3 preset setting, giving me 1/4, dotted eights, and 1/4 + dotted eights. that's all the settings I need, and it's quick enough to work live, without adding confusion ;-) Also you can do a 100% wet signal, dialing the mixknob, which I use on a pedalboard.
GREAT DEMO! Subscribed! +reverb & shim modes are awesome! Can these mode replace an revb pedal? Can you recommend this for worship (small) rig? Thanks!
Thank you! DD-8 would certainly be a good delay pedal for a small rig. I wouldn't get the DD-8 to replace a reverb pedal because you don't have much control over reverb and you can't dial out the delay if you just want reverb. +RV and SHIM modes sound good but they are very basic and they just complement the delay rather than being effects on their own.
Great demo. How does the Time knob behaves on all modes? Is it only digital jumps when tweaking, or does it do the pitch shift thing? Reverse on DD-5 does pitch shift and it's glorious. This could be a deal breaker for me. thanks for your feedback on that.
Thanks! It changes the pitch if you tweak the time knob while a sound is repeating. I'm not sure if it was the same for every mode but that's how I remember (I can check out the reverse later). Check out the Shimmer part in the video to see it in action.
@@Wooburnmusic none taken at all :) I know people use pedals in different ways and have different needs/expectations. Hope you can find what you’re looking for!
Nice demo, thanks! But i have a question after reading a user comment on TGP about that pedal and the use of expression pedal AND tape tempo features : "I got a DD-8 a week or so ago. Unfortunately didn't work out for me and I have to take it back. I liked the sound but what I wanted was to be able to control the delay level with an expression pedal (which works fine) and then hold the switch for 2 seconds to enter tap tempo mode and then be able to tap tempo a song and use the expression pedal to blend it in, but as soon as you tap tempo and use the expression pedal it kicks you out of the tap tempo mode and puts you back where ever you have the knobs set. " Did you experienced that problem? If so, that's a huge bummer!
@@DoNoise ehx echo #1, Digitech Obscura (very cool actually) Mooer Reecho, Catalinbread Adineko. Other than the Boss the Obscura sounds the best with the band and does all kinds of cool stuff I should learn actually.
I love this pedal, but when I connect the plug in B, to get dry/wet, the dry signal drops volume compare to the dry signal with the pedal off. Does it happen to you? Doesnt happen when I connect the plug to the A input. I dont know why. Maybe a feature of split signals? Is driving me crazy.

This definitely sold me on the DD-8. I was looking for another DD-3, but this is it chief.
Le mode shimmer est magnifique et le warp super intéressant !
i think all the modes are the best mode, very well played, no waste of time, a lot of ambience wich is rare in guitar demos

Magnifique. Tu fais les meilleures démonstrations de pédales sur UA-cam. Impressionnant. Merci mille fois.
MCHiphopotamus Merci beaucoup! :)
One thing I just noticed- other delays need the time, mix and feedback readjusted when you change modes. This doesn't. That's cool.
Nice. Great video. Interesting understanding. Especially the loop reverse long delay, trails on, and then tuning off to play over. Very cool. Great work. Looking forward to rewatching when I receive my dd8 this week.
A very underrated pedal. So many hyped delay pedals these days.
This is relatively new but I have no doubt we’ll see it everywhere soon, like DD-7.
Wow all that with one pedal. Im sold
Interesting upgrade. I have an old version of this delay with only three options. Watching the video was very meditative. I nearly fell asleep. 😌👍🏻
LOL, No soundscape is complete without delays and echos.
Love the drone sound you can get great sounds playing on top of it.
Hands down best vid on this pedal... period! Great job walking is thru
Thank you!

I've a DD 3 for a while. Looks like I need to upgrade.
Keep the DD3. And team up with DD8. Use it together for ultimate delay cloud.

Thanks a lot for the demonstration. Lots of function. I still wonder if it can also fit the role of a looper enough for my needs.
It might, but keep in mind that it cannot be used as a delay while looping.
Great review, lots of good stuff to play with.
That reverse echo may come in handy somestimes..

Curious about this. I have 5 delays, not in love with any except the dd-20 Giga Delay but it's so big. Maybe the dd-200 or DD-8. We'll see.
What are the other ones you have?
@@DoNoise ehx echo #1, Digitech Obscura (very cool actually) Mooer Reecho, Catalinbread Adineko. Other than the Boss the Obscura sounds the best with the band and does all kinds of cool stuff I should learn actually.
I love this pedal, but when I connect the plug in B, to get dry/wet, the dry signal drops volume compare to the dry signal with the pedal off. Does it happen to you?
Doesnt happen when I connect the plug to the A input. I dont know why. Maybe a feature of split signals? Is driving me crazy.
Boss is like a classic bacon cheese burger. It's simple, doesn't try to be anything else, and never disappoints.
Can it do dotted 8th?
