Boss DD3 Settings

[The Bear]

I just got a Boss DD3 delay.

I was hoping that some of you could share your settings for lead and rhythm.

Also some fun settings would be cool too.

i.e. sitar sound, double lead sound, etc.

 

Thanks

delay range set to 200ms, Delay time set to the same position as range, one repeat and 100% wet, slap the strings = RATM helicopter noise.

Not to be a jerk. You do know that it needs a power source, battery or adapter? Second, you need to turn it on, by stepping on it. When it is on, a red light should come on. Then just start twisting the knobs. Mode 3 should be the most dramatic for you. Hope this helps.

I do know these things.

I am just asking for some suggestions for different settings because I've never usea delay in all my years of playing.

I set mine to a tom delonge angels and airwaves setting. AVA and tom might not be your cup of tea but it is a great setting especially if you add some modulation.

Ahhhh! Now THIS makes sense!

 

I remember trying to wrap my head around delay. I had been playing for 10+ years before I really gave it a shot. Always felt like the trails would trip me up & took a long time fiddling before I started to get how to 'play' delay pedals. For me, it was a real process. . .

 

Try a few things:

 

1) med. delay time, med-lots of repeats - find a rhythem and noodle up & down scales letting the repeats cascade behind your playing. adjust the mix to taste. This is probably the type of delay I use the least. . .others use it all the time (Edge)

 

2) long time, lots of repeats - keep the mix low on the repeats so it doesn't get too out of control & let the kettle boil in the background of your playing to add texture

 

3) short time, low repeats - fiddle until you get a good slap-backish setting, this works great with rhythm playing, etc. lower the mix on the delays to keep it subtle, or crank it up for some roots rawk/punkabilly/whatever.
