Boss Digital Delay DD-6

I don't kmow whether I'm the best person to leave a review for a delay pedal. I have never found a delay effect that fully satisfies me. About a month ago, I bought an Empress Superdelay Vintage Modified for $448. I've returned it and bought the Moog MoogerFooger Delay instead for nearly $700, as it is analog and it seemed the best money could buy. I find the Moog product more natural-sounding, more "organic" as they say. While I'm not blown away with the Moog, I would not want to be without it. But after getting the Moog, I realized that I still needed a digital delay to complement it. I've plugged in a Zoom multi-effect pedal through the effect loop that is built into the Moog. It processes the delayed signal only of the Moog , adding stil more delay, EQ and Chorus to it. I use this feature on and off. But I still wanted to buy a digital delay pedal. At that point I was missing the Empress Superdelay, but I wanted something cheaper. I went on Ebay and won the Boss DD-6 in an auction on the second or third attempt for $80. It does the job well enough. Again, I'm not blown away, but I recognizde that it is a very good unit, especially in view of the price I've paid for it. Having said all this, I still miss the Empress Superdelay, even though I cannot imagine ever getting rid of the MoogerFooger. So if you want a digital delay, but your budget is under $200, the Boss DD-6 will most likely work sufficiently for you; but if you can spend $450, check out the Empress Superdelay Vintage Modified. It does so many things. If you want analog sound, the Moog may be the best machine out there, but at its price, it is not a bargain, to say the least. I have heard that the MXR Carbon Copy offers the best quality/price ratio. I hope this review is of some help.Read full review
