Members inlifeisdeath Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hello, How do you think the DE-7 compares with the Boss DD series? Such as the DD3, 5, and 6. I would first like to be able to choose between the DE7 and the DD series first, and then I'll move on to deciding if I would go for the tap-tempo in the DD5 and DD6. Thanks for the help.

Members derek_32999 Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 DE-7 if you are interested in sound quality.DD6 if you are interested in features.Echopark if you want both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonaldDemon Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I have a DE-7 and a DD-3. The DE-7 sounds great for the echo mode, simulating analog decay but the straight digital mode side sounds weak to me. I get alot of distortion in the signal. The DD-3 is a better digital delay in my opinion. Much more clean and usable. I have the DD-3 on my gigging board as well as an AD-9 to cover both digital and analog. The DE-7 stays at home for my practice amp and I only really use the echo mode. It doesn't sound as good as my vintage AD-9 but it gets close enough for bedroom playing. I have used the DD-6 but I don't need the other features, just want a straight up digital delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TrashFace Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 ive owned all of these. I love pairing the de7 with a dd20 or even a dd3. the dd6 had alot of hiss to me. the dd5 wasnt as good as the dd3. the tap on the dd6 sucks. the dd5 tap is ok though.

Members inlifeisdeath Posted June 23, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated. Seems like the DD3 is good for straight-up digital delay? I'd always thought that the DE7 was good for delay, so apparently only its Echo function shines? You changed my thoughts about the DD6, so the functions on it are pretty {censored}ty so to speak? So outta the bunch, a DD3 is still recommended? What about the BYOC digital delay? How's that for you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may be wrong then ... the BYOC website states that it does indeed self oss and I spoke to another forumite not two days ago who said it does the Echoplex self oss thing ...

Members wwwe Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 contribute my virgin post... i prefer xdd, beside the pretty digi delay, it has a tape delay for playing classic blues and something mellow, which dd20 has that, but costs too much, and, the modulation delay is very useful, especially when u've no a chrous pedal.
