Best delay review on KZbin! Finally one with high gain settings , Thank’s!

[@GearGasms]

Wow! Thank you for the kindness!

[@jonmurphy776]

Your Canyon video reassured me that I am a simpleton and I ordered this! Ordered this!

[@GearGasms]

Yeah I still love this pedal!

[@stratjed]

The dd3T has secondary rhythm functions like a dotted 8th note and triplet function ! Read the manual.

[@GearGasms]

lol will do!

[@shred5]

Nice demo. I've been in the hunt for a digital delay and I think I'm going to get one of these. Real simple but does the job well and sounds like what I'd want from a digital delay.

[@GearGasms]

Yeah it’s perfect for me! Thanks so much!

[@kingfisher7960]

Nice guitar dude! Boss gear rocks man. Ill be honest, I was 15 in like 1990 and I bought a few Boss effect pedals with the money I stole from work. I got 3 or 4 of them and they were great! Problem is I always tried to find better ones. Now 100 years later, I am buying the old Boss stuff again cause it just plain kicks ass!

[@GearGasms]

Not only that they are nearly indestructible !

[@sparkyguitar0058]

When I first decided to build a pedalboard I actually got about 8-9 used modded Boss pedals. Through time I've changed a few around taking a DD-5 off my board and adding a Donner Echo Square delay. It has way better reverse delay. And as the digital side it goes so well with the MXR Carbon copy next to it. With the Boss I have a tap switch to add. No tap on the Donner.

[@GearGasms]

This version has built in tap tempo. You have to hold the pedal for 2 seconds and then you can tap. I think that’s fairly new tho

[@jimmybiter2936]

Great pedal 👍 I have one on my board Happy Friday Mr.B! 🤘🤘

[@GearGasms]

You too! Yeah I’m definitely glad I switched!

[@aldonapolitano5979]

I've had a DD6 since about 2011 and for the life of me I don't see/hear much difference. Clean or dirty they work very nicely with a volume pedal. Think Steve Howe. Nice demo. Few things are more annoying than watching one that amounts to an audition. It gave me some exploration fodder. Now I have to go and do some exploring on my delay.

[@GearGasms]

Oh man thanks so much!

[@robertlathan4639]

Love you brother and have a blessed day!! Also did you get to check out the spark update yet??

[@GearGasms]

There is no app update or firmware update for my Spark that I don't have. I checked yesterday?

[@brianphelps1183]

I use a Keeley Caverns pedal with reverb and delay. I like my core Custom 24 too. I did swap out the pups for 57/08’s

[@GearGasms]

Yeah lots of people like the Keeley stuff for sure!

[@garyshaw8169]

Happy Friday Alan 👍

[@GearGasms]

You too Gary!

[@AllTheCoolNamesAreTaken84]

Cool pedal! Btw, I've got a used Orange CR120 coming to me this week. I have a micro dark, but felt like I needed a step up haha. How do you like it??

[@GearGasms]

I like it a lot. I haven’t spent as much time with it but I’ve done a few videos on it if you’re interested! 🎸🤘🏻

[@allanflippin2453]

I've not found too much use for delay pedals unless I want to sound like The Edge :D I don't wanna do that very often.

[@GearGasms]

I mainly use it on high gain solos. I’m pretty terrible trying to be the Edge- that’s one reason I sold my looper

[@RayRayStar]

Had one on my board since 1990. Broke one and quickly rebought one in mid 2000’s. Boss pedals are tanks

[@GearGasms]

I’m shocked that you found a way to break one!

[@wg1294]

I like my EHX Canyon except for 3 things. The dotted tempo has to be reset everytime its turned off or on, the knobs don't click into each setting as solid as other pedals, and everything it does becomes useless when it's on the looper setting. I have a Boss RC-500 looper, so the one on the Canyon is a joke. But for the functions it does, the modulations are incredible if that is your thing ( which I can see yours isn't, and mine is). I also have a Fender MIrror Image Delay which is ok as a backup, but limited in function. In the end, I think what I was after was something with killer modulations that I can control myself, and keep on a pedal board. I like this Boss pedal you got as well, I've used it before. When you are using Boss pedals do you use them as buffers as well, or do you get a buffer? Thanks for the entertainment.

[@GearGasms]

This is only my second Boss pedal and it’s in the loop so not sure. Yeah I did a whole video on the Canyon and it does crazy beautiful things but I just need delay 😜

[@wg1294]

@@GearGasms I recently learned that all Boss pedals have a built in buffer that works regardless if the pedal is off or on. I learned that it is good to have a buffer in front, and after your chain. This makes a Boss tuner more desirable. I currently have an Ibanez tuner in my loop, ending with my Boss looper. I myself am new to the Buffer scenario. I've never used a real buffer to know the difference, but I don't have a noise problem either. Maybe because I've always had a Boss pedal of some sort in there, that I never knew the difference between buffer or no buffer.

[@GearGasms]

Then hopefully it’s in a good spot as it is last in the loop!

[@BlurpeeBaggins]

So I just have to drop $20K on a guitar and I can be a rock god?! This is the kind of priceless information that brings me back to your channel every week! Have a great weekend Alan.

[@GearGasms]

Hells yeah. You gotta get a 54 Goldtop to get true toanz! You have a great weekend yourself!

[@mikemcconville2495]

I agree about the Canyon. Maybe I just don’t get it

[@GearGasms]

Yeah it’s a lot

[@maraomania1360]

Great guitar comedy podcast. After I stopped taking the boomer seriously I had a gear-gas-m!

[@GearGasms]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@overcome8628]

I have to have a delay when I plug up.

[@GearGasms]

Delay and distortion are a must on any board for sure!

[@angusorvid8840]

I used a Boss Delay like this because it made my sound bigger without having to use reverb. I discovered when I did my first live gigs at the age of thirteen back in 1987 that soundmen didn't like amp reverb. They had a good reading on their own room and you had to trust them. So I turned down the reverb and used just enough delay to make my sound fuller. It worked great. I don't mind amp reverb but I think it's better either in the studio or jamming at home.

[@GearGasms]

You know you make a great point! There are definitely settings that get you there!

[@angusorvid8840]

@@GearGasms It's one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get a big sound, to bust it out of the box. It's also a great way to make helicopter sounds and pretend you're David Gilmour.
