Boss DD-3T Digital Delay Pedal — Classic Tone, Modern Tools

The Boss DD-3T Digital Delay builds on a lineage that began with the DD-2—the world’s first digital delay pedal from 1983—and evolved through the DD-3, a staple for pedalboard users since 1986. Its updated design keeps the beloved sound circuitry and familiar controls, ensuring that players still enjoy the characteristic warm, rounded digital repeats. What’s new is the workflow: tap tempo is now built in, and the wet/dry output has been relocated for improved usability on stage and in the studio.

Tap Tempo and Subdivisions — Rhythm-Locked Delays

With tap tempo now integrated into the pedal switch, you can tap in delay times during a performance, then set subdivisions using the Mode knob—choose from quarter-note triplet, dotted-eighth, or straight quarter note. This keeps echoes perfectly aligned to the rhythm, and an external footswitch can be connected for additional tap control. Delay time stretches up to 800 ms when using tap input.

Delay Range and Core Controls — Familiar Knobs, Expanded Reach

All the essential controls are present: Mode, Time, Feedback, and E.Level knobs, plus the pedal switch, mirroring the DD-3 for instant familiarity. With delay times from 12.5 ms to 800 ms across three ranges, it covers everything from sharp slapback to expansive ambient washes.

• Delay Time: 12.5–800 ms across three ranges — shape your sound from tight slapbacks to lush ambience
• Controls: Mode, Time, Feedback, E.Level + Pedal switch — provides immediate hands-on access for creative tweaks
• Tap Subdivisions: quarter-note triplet, dotted-eighth, quarter note — set subdivisions directly via the Mode knob when tapping in tempos

Short Loop and Direct Out — Creative and Routing Flexibility

The Short Loop function captures up to 800 ms of audio and loops it continuously, allowing you to layer riffs or textures live—a capability that predated BOSS’s Loop Station line. By moving the Direct Out jack next to the main output, setting up wet/dry rigs becomes far more convenient: route the dry signal to one amp, the delay-only output to another, or mute the dry path with a dummy plug for parallel effects chains.

• Short Loop (Hold): up to 800 ms continuous loop — lets you lay down a phrase and jam over it in real time
• Direct Out: 1/4-inch dedicated dry output — enables creative routing for wet/dry setups or parallel effects integration
• Buffered bypass: Buffered bypass — keeps your signal clean even in large pedalboard chains

Connectivity, Power, and Build — Pedalboard-Ready

For connectivity, you get 1/4-inch Input, Output, Direct Out, and Tempo jacks, along with a DC IN for the optional PSA-series adapter. Power options include a single 9V battery (around 5 hours of continuous use) or a standard 9V power supply at 70 mA draw. The compact 73 × 129 × 59 mm chassis weighs 420 g with battery, fitting easily on any board. Each unit is backed by a five-year warranty from BOSS.

• Connectors: Input, Output, Direct Out, Tempo (1/4-inch) + DC IN — allows versatile setups for tap, routing, and remote switching
• Power: 9V battery (6LR61) or PSA-series adapter, 70 mA draw — run on battery or standard pedalboard power supplies
• Dimensions: 73 × 129 × 59 mm, 420 g — takes up minimal space and fits any pedalboard configuration
