BOSS DD200 - GREAT DELAY, VERSATILE YET SIMPLE!

[@nstrug]

For anyone just coming across this video, it's actually 128 presets. These were always available via MIDI but there has been a firmware update which means they are also now available via the panel.

[@guitardrummer1]

Hey can you please help me? i received it yesterday, with last firmware 1.12 already on board..i was trying to memorize some presets over the fourth one...looks like it let me do that..i push memory button while turning time knob, choose preset 7 or 8 push memory button for few seconds..the display fast blinks so i guess it created the preset..but then i'm not able to recall it ..i push memory button, but it arrives at 4 and then come back to manual...i red manual over again but i don't find a solution...where do i make it wrong? any suggestion? Thanks !!

[@nstrug]

@@guitardrummer1 by default you can only select the extended presets using MIDI. However you can change the defaults with the MEMORY EXTENT FROM and MEMORY EXTENT TO functions, as described on page 12 of the manual. Just increase MEMORY EXTENT TO to 127 and you will be able to select any memory location by pressing the Memory button and then rotating the Time knob to the correct preset.

[@guitardrummer1]

@@nstrugthanks a lot for your kind reply 🙂... Ok so if i got It, i have to activate the menu by pushing tap divisione and Memory simultanously and choose the options you described..ok..i was going Crazy..when i'm back home i try..really appreciate your help..thanks again🙂

To me, this delay has the best combination of good sound, simple operation and multiple effects on market today.

[@GearGasms]

Jesus I hate you more with every amazing opening track where you not only show the pedal well in many modes, it’s actually a coherent and extremely listenable piece of music. You make it look easy too and we know it’s not. Damn you Pete Thorn. Damn you all to hell for making us smaller and less talented gear channels look like the hacks we are!! 🎸🤘🏻😜

The tone at 4:43 is so sick! I’m getting this pedal in the mail today and am so excited to play with! Now if only I could play like your skill… lol. Great video! Thank you for making it.

[@MikePatKen]

Hey there! Currently in the market for a comprehensive delay pedal and was having issues finding a solid video that simply explained the features and effectively demoed them. This totally nailed it for me! Heavily leaning towards this Boss model thanks to your video. Great job, and thank you so much. Looking forward to other content from you!

Thanks Pete! What I wanted to know was addressed! I like the DD-500, but this DD-200 is more my speed. Don't hafta attend a class or seminar to operate the thing while still gettin' favorable results. Cool!

[@garywalker8067]

Great sounding delay Pete! My pedal board is gonna have to grow if you keep introducing me to all these cool pedals.

[@sd_design]

Pad echo (4:42) is great. It reminds me of the Blade Runner soundtrack. 👍

One thing is certain: Pete likes green/turquoise guitars!

SO MANY TONEZ! Great demo per usual, Pete. You certainly know how to showcase all these stomp boxes....

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@manifestgtr]

Love my 500...I use the tape echo, old school digital, filter and shimmer on almost every gig. Nice and easy midi integration too, which is awesome. I’ve never had the “I wish I had a strymon” thought. It’s just unnecessary for my purposes. Might it sound 10% “better”? I don’t know...don’t exactly care either to be totally honest.

[@jerrygallant2890]

Strymon is $200 more ...Boss makes great pedals , and if the DD200 does all you need , why pay more ?

[@manifestgtr]

Jerry Gallant Yeah, exactly man. I know some guys who will just upgrade and upgrade endlessly. I upgrade when I find something that either does something totally new. Like before...I used the dd-20 and still have it on my rehearsal board. But I started getting into midi switching and the 500 covers all those grounds perfectly

[@bruceglebovitz]

The DD-200 is the ONLY Boss unit with Pad Delay. It is the most imaginative delay I've used, and it is not available on ANY OTHER Boss product regardless of price. That is unfortunate.

[@thorpenator9148]

Was looking for some cool settings...maybe next video.

[@Mundproductionfunkhaus]

nice playing and tweaking; you solved the problem of bending down to make adjustments, what kind of stand is that?

[@defenderstargate1447]

Sweet demo as usual, showing the versatility of the unit. I am curious - did you use something different for the drums this time? They sounded quite present.

[@PeteThorn]

Ez drummer2 dream pop kit but a little later in the song where it picks up and gets more present, I just copy the midi files down onto another track and combine the dream pop kit with superior drummer 3, a more punchy typical kit, and I mix it underneath. So it’s like to drum kits blended.

[@defenderstargate1447]

@@PeteThorn DIdn't realize you replied until I saw that Google now is funneling KZbin replies to a Social tab instead of the regular Inbox view. Thanks for the info and the mixing tip.

[@bartvschuylenburg]

I’m building a smaller board around my T-rex Spindoctor (i already have a big board with some really large and heavy pedals on it). I think this is gonna be the delay. I hope they will also come up with a RV-200.

[@GuilaBenatto]

I have a very dumb question, but in digital pedals do I have to turn anything off before unplug the power cord? Or does it works like analog pedals? Once you’re done, just turn off the power suplly? Thanks in advance

When are we going to go backTo rack gear all these petals are getting bigger and bigger my old Yamaha eD1500 is still a great rack delay

[@rickmilam413]

Pete, I don't want to put you on the spot and this isn't about which sounds better, etc. I'm fairly severely visually disabled. In that context only, do you have a feel for how this compares to the Timeline in simplicity and setup? If you prefer not to answer I understand.

[@rkharper]

WAY easier than timeline!!! Every function has a knob, no deep dive menues. I dig mine!

[@PeteThorn]

Simpler than timeline, purely because everything is on the knobs. Timeline has more tweakable audio stuff as well as more presets etc. which one is right for u is another thing!

[@pinkyellowblue007]

Can I get 2 separate delay times (like having 2 delay pedals) from it or would I need 2 of these?

[@GeoffByrdMusic]

Yes, on the dual setting you can have a quarter note and dotted 8th at the same time. Pretty cool.

[@veraroquete4698]

Mono digital delay is the only patch I liked.

[@singalls]

Is that the Eruption lesson Strat?

[@singalls]

Oops- that guitar had a hum in the bridge. Wonder whatever happened to it?

[@EricoMarcelo]

Does it come with your fingers?

[@PeteThorn]

Ha aw thanks!

[@ToddSalpen]

I have seen may videos about DD200 and DD500 and nobody talks about changing delays or changing presets, I want to know what happen if you play with one nice ambient shimmering sweet long delay and you need to change to another patch or presser or change your memory bank to another one either pressing the switch or via MIDI. Does your last ambient shimmering sweet long delay still there until vanish with the delay decay and mix your sound with the new patch, or that delay cuts abruptly off and is replaced with the new delay?? I guess it is called carryover.

[@paul2open]

You can set that in the preferences

[@e.g.systems6146]

Stunning demo, as always :O) Totally love it..... apart from those micro MIDI sockets. Surely they could have found room on a box that size to have standard 5-pin DIN sockets? For me it's a deal-breaker because I will always think along the lines of "I'm at a gig, and for some reason the DD200 isn't changing patches when I use my MIDI footswitch.. Oh! I'll swap the cables.. oh, wait a minute, I don't have any spare mini-jack-to-MIDI cables which I have to buy specially just for this unit... FAIL!". Nope, BOSS loses my money over some 50cent sockets.

[@mikeriesco6174]

Seems great - except for 1 glaring thing -- why (oh why?) did Boss only provide 4 slots for user presets? FOUR? It would have cost - what, another 50 cents of manufacturing cost per unit for more memory space? (it's 2019, not 1995 -- memory is CHEAP!!), to allow it to have 100 instead of 4? I would even have been happy with 10 -- more than enough. But FOUR?? Deal-breaker for me, which is a shame, cause it looks like a great toy.

[@rkharper]

Its not a toy, and 4 presets are more (actually its 5, with the manual preset) than on a DD-2 / DD-3 / DD-5 / DD-6 and DD-7,if you need even more presets, get the DD-500. I own it and don't even use the presets, have my delay set on digital with tone a tad dark, slight mod, and do my "presets" with tap tempo.

[@paul2open]

In the manual it says there are 127 memory slots. Hold down the memory button and turn the time knob.

[@PrinceWesterburg]

That sounds better than my Strymon BigSky which sounds cold and dead
