All-new editor software
Dedicated editor software is now available giving you expanded access to your Boss DD-500. The new editor software gives you unprecedented access to your DD-500, with its highly intuitive interface. The DD-500 editor allows you to edit pretty much every parameter on your digital delay effects pedal. This editor function lets you to do everything, from change your effect library to assign and organize your controls, all at the touch of a button. You can hold a whole new world of power beneath your feet.
Twelve studio quality delay modes
Featuring twelve different delay modes, the DD-500 provides all the tools to create anything from standard digital delays to vintage delays, all the way to more psychedelic reversed delay tones. With a combination of vintage and modern delay types, as well as extremely advanced control parameters, it's easy to create and store a range of delay tones for full live set, or use in the studio. Each delay type also incorporates a semi parametric EQ and four adjustable EQ bands, allowing you to fine tune your effect and create studio quality delays on the go.
Unbeatable sound quality
Running a high-powered digital sound processor, the DD-500 is capable of creating professional delays with an audio resolution of 32-bit/96 kHz in a wide stereo image. Although operating through a digital signal process, the DD-500 ensures it does not filter or alter your original analogue guitar tone, allowing you to retain your guitar’s natural sound and add stunning digital delay output to your mix. Additionally, the buffered bypass means you can enable delay carryover when switching the pedal on and off so delays are never cut abruptly.
Impressive features and real-time control
A large LCD screen at the heart of the DD-500 gives you real-time visualising of your current effects settings and stored bank so you never accidentally use the wrong tone. What’s more, the additional USB port to the rear of the unit allows patch backup and storage on your Mac or PC, so you never lose your favourite delay settings. By default, the A, B and TAP/CTL switches offer intuitive control for two patches, bypass, bank selection, tap tempo, and more. However, they can be customised to operate in alternate ways, such as providing top-level access to three different delay patches, or allowing you to use two patches, bypass, bank selection, tap tempo and more. However, they can be customised to operate in alternate ways, such as providing top-level access to three different delay patches or allowing you to use two patches at once for layered delay sounds. Instead of tap tempo, you’re able to assign the TAP/CTL switch to various real-time functions like Warp or Twist for a wide range of expressive effects.
