[@reecemalerich]

I listen to these when I wanna relax. I watch them when I wanna give myself financial stress.

[@pedalpartners]

you're welcome & i'm sorry 😂

[@RaxFx]

This was the only demo to clearly explain the different stereo routing modes - not even the Boss manual explains it - THANKS!

[@pedalpartners]

i love to go in depth with things, thanks for watching :)

[@Mayathetherian733]

Agreed! Could not figure out panning or wide stereo before this gem of a video. Thank you!

[@just.off.the.a4208]

For real. I've been trying to work out how to use mine to it's full potential for ages now, finding this video has instantly answered every question I had. Only thing the manual covers is how to use the loop function, which I figured out before even reading the manual 😅

[@eastendthug]

Just purchased a dd8 and this video is by far the best demonstration video I've found on youtube.

[@pedalpartners]

thank you very much, enjoy your pedal!

[@davidellis5141]

The JC 40 captures the natural reverb I want. Amazing.

[@pedalpartners]

it's such a good amp man

[@themomentkiller9167]

The Jc40 is massively underrated as both a gigging and recording amp and you make it sound killer paired with the DD8.

[@TheAmazingSnarf]

10:01 seeing Slowdive live is a great place-holder for one's life. you remember your life before, and your life after the event. The shows i saw concluded with Golden Hair and Souvlaki Space Station. i've always considered myself to be lucky, and enjoying these shows seems to be a good proof of that mindset. thanks for another awesome video.

[@pedalpartners]

nicely said. i love how they change things up live, different takes on 'souvlaki space station' for example, different delay sounds, tempos etc. & you haven't heard 'golden hair' until you hear slowdive play it live. thanks for watching :)

[@rottingemptiness]

I simply love delay , I bought my first delay in 1992 , a secondhand DD-2 😊👌

[@STRATMAN1969]

I just switched out my DD-7 for one .I was a little reluctant at first (it was my first Delay : ) ,then I started to notice all the new settings / functions . The Warp is my new favorite ,I feel like you could've done the whole demo just on that ! However this was probably my favorite video of yours ,easily one of your best of all time .I'm kinda glad I just discovered it ,after getting a DD-8 ,Fantastic Job .

[@pedalpartners]

thanks! boss delays are amongst my favourite, especially the smaller boxes, can't think of another delay with so many good sounding delays in such as small enclosure as the dd-8!

[@YonatanLidar]

I just ordered one of these... upgrading from the dd7 I had forever.. still keeping it just trying something new. I love collecting all sorts of delay pedals.

[@thomasbagnoli4523]

I just got DD-8 and this video is so great cause it explains all the features referencing the bands and type of sound I want to achieve ! Thanks Luca

[@pedalpartners]

that's what we do here ;) thanks man, glad you enjoyed it!

[@glisteningkabana8154]

Fantastic demo! The DD8 sounds really great. Man, they packed a lot into that pedal! Well done Boss🙌.

[@pedalpartners]

thank you & they sure did, it really impresses me

[@homonulus]

This is the best demo. It shows the full potential of the pedal. Thanks.

[@pedalpartners]

thanks Luis! definitely subscribe for more like this :)

[@erictait6322]

One of the best demos I've ever seen. You made me snag one.

[@pedalpartners]

ah sweet ;)

[@FabinhoLyma]

Amazing sounds man!!! These products are legends, DD-8 and Jazz Chorus....Congratulations, cheers!

[@pedalpartners]

thank you Fabinho, two of my favourites!

[@Cooljerk77]

Bravo Luca this sounds amazing! My wallet was out before the end of the video, Boss should have you on commission!

[@pedalpartners]

thanks my dude, it's really an incredible {little} device

[@Cooljerk77]

@@pedalpartners Can't wait, it'll be here tomorrow!!!

[@sarova2000]

This review is so good I ended up buying it

[@pedalpartners]

ayyyy sweet

[@sarova2000]

pedal partners by the way, how did you find out about the stereo configurations? It doesn’t say anything on the manual. Now i’m wondering if there are some mor hidden functions i’m not using...

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

I love my DD6 and have been using it for 14 years straight. But man this sounds beautiful.

[@pedalpartners]

dd-6 is awesome & thank you!

[@zac1192]

was trying to decide on my next delay pedal, and you absolutely just sold me lmao, great video dude!

[@pedalpartners]

it's the one

[@Rash_Situation]

The best demo I could find. I just wish the pedal was facing the camera so I could see the settings.

[@faustobrusamolino6345]

Great video and beautiful playing!

[@pedalpartners]

thank you very much ☺

[@thatfellarosto]

I had the chance to mess around with one of these pedals recently and my god they are fun

[@mrt77wv]

Amazing work, sir! I've always loved Boss delays, but they're really upping their game. The DD-8 will probably be my next pedal purchase.

[@pedalpartners]

they for sure have some classics & this one is even good enough to compete with larger devices, thank you!

[@dianeduffcroop8158]

Beautiful demo, new subscriber smash that like button and I've shared 24 of my guitar playing Buddies! When I finish watching your demo I immediately ordered mine from Sweetwater! So much more bang for the back with the stereo ins-and-outs which I really need because I generally run three or four amplifiers. And it amazes me how many of the 300-plus dollar units were not stereo. That's a deal-breaker for me.

[@YloLogein]

I really enjoyed that vdo, it is the kind of sound i m looking for. Thanks for that cool demo.

[@pedalpartners]

thanks for watching, many more videos like this on my channel! :)

[@eddieriviello]

Absolutely gorgeous sounds man! I don’t even play with stereo set up on mine, but I’ve recently picked up a Roland JC-20 for dirt cheap (inspired by your use of a jazz chorus). Ever see a JC-20? There’s not much on the internet about it but the built in chorus has 2 modes, with each mode getting a deeper and faster chorus sound as you change between them.

[@pedalpartners]

thanks so much dude. i recently realised there's about 20 different versions of the jazz chorus & i want them all. that jc-20 sounds really cool!

[@dcool2u2]

When you are picking between the 3 stereo modes, is the cable that you plug into input B going anywhere on the other end? Also you didn't remove it in the video. If and when you do unplug it, is there anything else to do in order to save the mode you selected? ie: tap the foot switch one more time? Or do you just let go of the foot switch after you select the mode? Will it be saved after power is off? Thank you 😊

[@SandalwoodBros]

Great video! Can you use the looper while also using the various delays in the pedal?

[@AlmaAmbientMusic]

I love the sound of boss.Pedals excellent video as always

[@pedalpartners]

thanks so much my friend, boss are the best

[@jr0706]

Looking through the time stamps, I didn’t see subdivisions. I know the manual says how to activate sub mode, but doesn’t really go in depth about saving settings. Could you explain this feature?

[@paulandreas7955]

Just discovered the channel. Absolutely brilliant. Close to genius. 🙏

[@pedalpartners]

thank you so much Paul, really appreciate your kind words & support!

[@JCBigCat]

Fantastic video and awesome playing! I don't think Warp mode is comparable to a hold function: while pressing down the footswitch everything you play will be added to the sound you're "holding", so it's more like a feedback maximiser or something like that, it can get crazy really quick!

[@pedalpartners]

thank you! i guess that's true i never thought about it like that & that's why i love it so much!

[@themomentkiller9167]

Great video and thanks for highlighting the many wonders of the incredibly undervalued JC40. Great to gig and record with and I am yet to find a chorus that sounds better.

[@tomjoad8939]

i'm using the jc 40 amp as well. great amp!

[@Tarsierfan217]

This is an amazing review I love your videos and I just bought this pedal because of this thank you

[@pedalpartners]

ah thanks so much, the dd-8 is one of my favourite delays - enjoy it!

[@donnytenorio1493]

Awesome review and video, I have this pedal and it has a lot of good sounds, I pair mine with an RV-6.

[@pedalpartners]

thank you, i imagine that's blissful

[@RandomButtonPusher]

Of course this came out just a few months after I got the DD-7, smh. Some of the features you demonstrate make it a definite step up, so I guess it's on my list. Such is the pursuit of one's sound.

[@pedalpartners]

ah i'm sure the dd-7 is awesome too, neil from slowdive has one on his board so that's cool + i like how each boss pedal offers something unique, so i'm sure it does other great things. that being said, this delay is phenomenal & i can't recommend it enough!

[@RandomButtonPusher]

@@pedalpartners Well I did finally get the DD-8 -- it's now on my main guitar board and the DD-7 is on my new small synth board, with its ability to set ultra short or extra long delays a nice tool with synth tones.

[@chiefbucknell]

Thank you for including the amp settings from the JC-40’s Vibrato/Chorus section. Do you ever use that amp’s reverb? I love my JC-40-didn’t even know how good it was until I got it!

[@pedalpartners]

you're welcome dude! i use the reverb quite a lot, dare i say it it's one of my favourite reverbs. obviously doesn't do huge reverbs like some pedals, but as a way of adding some flavour to my tone or for room ambience can't think of anything better!

[@swiftymcgarnagle4567]

Great Demo!

[@pedalpartners]

thanks for watching, definitely check out the other boss pedals on my channel :)

[@aceguitar911]

Nice Pedal. I love the shim mod

[@pedalpartners]

thank you, it is awesome!

[@tomjoad8939]

could you explain the dry mute set up. If your guitar is plugged into the amp, what is input B connected to? ty!

[@BikerMetzger]

If you record a loop and switch to a delay mode, will the loop continue to play? I know you can only overdub in the loop mode but can you record a backing track and then switch to a delay mode and solo over the backing track you created or when you switch modes does the loop stop playing? Thanks,

[@mattiv1]

Is there a way to set DD8 to be in off mode after powering it? I don't use it that much and it gets on every time I get my pedalboarded powered

[@americafirst847]

I just bought my DD-8 and I think it’s better than my memory man pedal. I think it’s definitely better than the tc flashback 2

[@endezeichengrimm]

What about the dotted 8th mode?

[@guitarobot]

Man. Just bought a e.h. canyon. I think this sounds better.

[@pedalpartners]

it's a great pedal, a lot to it

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

I am experimenting with having two delays. I have. DD7 and just bought an earthquaker

[@stephenwhite5658]

Amazing in depth video I'm now gonna play mountain dulcimers thru this!!

[@pedalpartners]

sweet, thanks for watching!

[@stephenwhite5658]

I used to have a dd 3 but this pedal is awsome!!

[@pedalpartners]

@@stephenwhite5658 it really packs so much in such a small enclosure!

[@robLite3g]

Thank you for this video. I love how in depth this goes and you turned me on to Slowdive whom I have never heard of before now. A question, do I need to have two amps in order to access any of the Stereo modes (panning, wide)? I only have one amp. I had gotten this petal week so still tinkering with it.

[@pedalpartners]

thank you for watching Roberto, happy to have helped! you will need two amps or an amp capable of stereo i.e. like the jc-40 i use in this video, to benefit from the stereo features :)

[@sweatervestviking]

Love your videos bud. I have been playing around with this pedal for a week and loving it, especially when paired with a Holy Grail Max (thanks for getting me into that one, next is a JC-40, you're selling me tones!). My only gripe with it is being a bass player heavily, I wish that shimmer tracked the lower strings as much as the high strings (it rarely catches and often produces a short dark burst if anything). If only Boss gave us bass players a Delay as well. Since you've got one, I figured I'd ask (if you have a way to test for the bassists out here) how well does your Strymon Timeline track with it's Shimmer and Ice effects on lower registers for us lower register bassists out here? Might be an easy answer (I've considered it and the Mooer Ocean Machine for this effect but have heard the OM has tech issues, freezes, and gets grainy at times). Either or, thanks for the awesome videos, really have learned a lot and gained some great gear from your knowledge and information!

[@pedalpartners]

thanks so much dude, glad to have helped you in your gear acquisition ;) i'm afraid i haven't tried a bass through the timeline. the only thing i can say is the strymon's ice machine is much more tweakable, offers a variety of pitches {can't remember exactly how many, but offers a bunch of both lower octave & higher octave options}. hope this helps a little! & the jc is incredible, hope you get one :D

[@sweatervestviking]

@@pedalpartners Thanks for the reply brother! Absolutely, reignited my love for the BD-2 and alot more. Big thanks! Gosh, looks like it's ramen for dinner again. I can't help but be enthralled by that machine! Absolutely, I think being able to play with octaves and pitch will help with that shimmer sounding so ominous and dark on bass! Looking forward to it myself, thanks again for all your information. Keep it up with the great content and thanks again!

[@tomjoad8939]

on panning delay what cable in going into b?

[@h.r.k.7111]

great video! i just wondering how do you achieve two delay modes playing at the same time? as you did in the biginning of the video...

[@Evelyn_Richardson]

if one were to record the tap signal and have that sample play every 1/8th note coming from a DAW note sent back into DD-8, would the DD-8 stay in sync with the DAW?

[@FedericoGenera]

i love your videos, really in love

[@pedalpartners]

glad you liked it!

[@lesmagranesbedbreakfast2421]

besides u can play one or another style ... looks that this pedal is a must have...

[@d_walsh]

Very difficult to read the writing. But thanks for the demo. I'll watch this a few times to check out all those tips

[@zinfandel899]

Would you recommend this or the ehx grand canyon

[@pedalpartners]

i haven't tried the grand canyon, so i'd have to go with this!

[@dullyart]

Phenomenal stuff as always! How does this play with fuzz? Looking to replace my RE-20 space echo with a delay that doesn't suck the tone out of some of these amazing fuzz pedals

[@pedalpartners]

thanks dude! it plays really well with whatever you throw at it! highly recommend it

[@denismichelhache3525]

Sweet demo! I’m getting the DD8 soon. Quick question: Is there a hiss in the JC40 like my old JC77?

[@orbitron20]

Great video once again!! One question though is that if the JC-40 is loud enough to gig with or would the JC-120 be better for that.

[@pedalpartners]

thanks dude! it's easily loud enough to gig with :) i've used it for shows large & small, the volume knob hardly ever goes past 9 o'clock it's so loud

[@orbitron20]

partners Thanks for the answer dude, you always seem so chill and easy to talk to in the comment section! Keep up the great videos!

[@chiefbucknell]

pedal partners For live use, if the amp is mic’ed, is there a mic on the dry speaker (left), the wet speaker (right), or both? (I would like it to be both, at least in theory.)

[@pedalpartners]

@@chiefbucknell tbh the sound guys usually just did one mic wherever they saw fit. i think next time i play live i'll be running two amps, perhaps even two jcs for quadraphonic sound haha. when recording i mic both speakers.

[@AaronKraten]

Excellent Video .

[@pedalpartners]

thank you

[@tomjoad8939]

how is this plugged into the amp?

[@manualofalternativemusic]

Awesome video as always! Hey Luca, I need a new amplifier because mine blew up. I love good pedal platform amplifiers, how do you find the Roland jazz chorus you have? Does it go with most pedals you have? Help would me much appreciated. Thanks!

[@pedalpartners]

thanks dude. it's great! a favourite of mine. i have the jc-40 so it's a newer jazz chorus. they updated the distortion & chorus on the amp. it features stereo in {panning delays with one amp!} & i use it one all my videos, so it's a great pedal platform. loud enough for gigs too, highly recommend it! honestly, if you get a chance try it in person, i remember hearing the clean tone the first time to do this day :)

[@manualofalternativemusic]

pedal partners Thank you so much man, I love how attentive you are to the comments section on your videos. I think I’m gonna end up with one of these Roland amps then! They seem great and I think it will be a favorite of mine as well ;) thanks a lot bro!

[@officialgmusic]

You forgot to show the twist feature ! With FS7 footswitch

[@afterstars]

Yes. Just yes, dude.

[@pedalpartners]

thanks my dude

[@ruido_sagrado]

Hello again, again. haha the dd200 has the same effects as the dd8? you've tried both?

Esse pedal é impressionante gostei de mais!

Alright, gonna get me RV6 and DD8

[@pedalpartners]

good call

[@antipusrises]

If you had to chose between the DD-20 and the DD-8, which would you chose?

[@pedalpartners]

that's a good question! i would say the dd-8, a lot of great new modes like glt & shimmer + incredible stereo imaging {including panning} in all modes, except loop mode.

[@antipusrises]

@@pedalpartners That answer actually surprises me. I was sure you would say the DD-20.

[@Alesistx2023]

I kinda just come for the background music

[@pedalpartners]
