    i prefer the dd-5 (no longer made) to the dd-6. the clarity and tone seemed much better. that could be all in my head, and i'm sure someone could bust out info that says they have the same guts, or something like that, but my dd5 that was swiped always got the job done, and my dd6 continues to underwhelm me. i'm considering an Electro Harmonix Memory Man. fat tone, but much less delay time and less options then the boss. if price is an problem, get a dd3 or used dd5. they can be found for $100.

    I use the Boss DM-2. No longer made but you can pick up on ebay or at a guitar show. I like the DM-3 also. Considering it was made from only 1981 - 1984 is only 3 knobs and I have never had a problem with it yet. And I own a CE-2 chorus made from 1979 to 1980. No problems with that either. And both are nice analog pedals. I do have to admit I owned a CE-2 from new and it was sweet. I loved it. I grew accustomed to it. Then it was stolen and I had to get a replacement and it was a little brighter sounding. But I grew to love it. There is internal trim pots inside also to adjust the sound. But I was scared to mess with a good thing. Now I love this one just as much as the original I had. If you ever have a chance to demo I think they are worth the little extra money they do go for in tone and dependability. Here is a neat Boss site below. Oh if you ever get a chance to play through a DM-2 through and amp with some gain and feedback and start tweaking the knobs on the DM-2. Old science fiction movies are the sound I hear. War of the Worlds type stuff. Ask anyone who owns one. Awesome. Mike McCready use to use the DM-3 and tweak the knobs at the end of Parting Ways when everyone is playing the E over and over for some cool sounds. At least that is what I think I remember him doing.

    cool. whats the loop feature like? any good?


    Yeah, it's good. Basically, it just lets you jam out while holding the pedal down and you get to record 4 seconds of endless playback

    I have a DD-6 but I don't use it enough... Suggestions?
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    The DD3 is groovy. Keep your eyes open for a used TC Vintage Delay.. at least try one out - it's a great piece.

    yeah, I like Boss. The DD3 looks good.
    Should be a good sound experiment.
    thanks...

    Just bought the DD3 and love it. Real good for Modest Mouse sound.
