The 12 unique delay types include basic echo, warm analog delays (BOSS DM-2 style), classic\u00a0tape delays (such as the RE-201 Space Echo), pattern-based effects, and complex modern delay lines that employ pitch shifting, filtering, and other unique processing.<\/p>\n<p>The pedal\u2019s Vintage Digital mode provides BOSS\u2019 first emulations of some sought-after classics from the past. Included are sonic replicas of the legendary SDE-2000 and SDE-3000 rack units from Roland, which were regularly found in rack systems used by high-end studio and touring players in the 1980s. The sound of the BOSS DD-2, the first stompbox digital delay, is onboard as well, which is still highly regarded for its gritty, early-digital-era tone.<\/p>\n<p>The DD-500 also includes a Tera Echo type, which is based on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bossus.com\/products\/te-2\/\">TE-2 pedal<\/a> released in 2013. Only available from BOSS, this effect combines delay, filtering, and modulation in a unique way to create a very cool sound with lots of spaciousness and movement.<\/p>\n<h2>Dial-and-Play or Edit Heavy<\/h2>\n<p>With the DD-500\u2019s quick-access controls, it\u2019s easy to dial up great sounds immediately. Just select a delay type with the Mode knob, and season to taste with the dedicated panel knobs.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to dig in and tweak things even further, the DD-500 lets you do that for days. Under the hood, each delay type includes a semi-parametric four-band EQ, modulation, ducking, and many other parameters, allowing you to dive deep and refine tones with unmatched precision.<\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve created the perfect sound, you can save it to one of the 297 onboard patch memories for instant recall at any time. From the factory, the patches come loaded with a diverse selection of ready-to-go sounds, which you can play right away or use as starting points for your own sounds.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13559\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Rear.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13559\" data-attachment-id=\"13559\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/2015\/07\/10\/new-product-dd-500-digital-delay\/dd-500_rear\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Rear.jpg?fit=1000%2C356&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,356\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DD-500_Rear\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Rear panel of the DD-500 Digital Delay.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Rear.jpg?fit=300%2C107&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Rear.jpg?fit=1000%2C356&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13559\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Rear.jpg?resize=1000%2C356\" alt=\"DD-500 Digital Delay Rear Panel\" width=\"1000\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Rear.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Rear.jpg?resize=300%2C107&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Rear.jpg?resize=768%2C273&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13559\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rear panel of the DD-500 Digital Delay.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Intuitive Operation and Practical Usability<\/h2>\n<p>While some other sophisticated delay pedals offer lots of sounds and editable parameters, they often have limited user interfaces that make it difficult to access them all.

This setup offers\u00a0lots of instant-access control, and may be all you ever need.<\/p>\n<p>However, the switches can be customized to operate in alternate ways, giving you versatility to play any way you like.\u00a0For example, you can configure the switches for access to three different delay patches, making them all available on one level without having to scroll through banks. There\u2019s even\u00a0a mode that lets you use two different patches simultaneously, great for creating complex layered tones.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13571\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Angle.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13571\" data-attachment-id=\"13571\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/2015\/07\/10\/new-product-dd-500-digital-delay\/dd-500_angle\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Angle.jpg?fit=1000%2C610&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,610\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DD-500_Angle\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Angle.jpg?fit=300%2C183&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Angle.jpg?fit=1000%2C610&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-13571 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Angle.jpg?resize=1000%2C610\" alt=\"Switches on the DD-500 Digital Delay\" width=\"1000\" height=\"610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Angle.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Angle.jpg?resize=300%2C183&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DD-500_Angle.jpg?resize=768%2C468&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13571\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The DD-500&#8217;s switches can be reassigned to control alternate functions.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You\u2019re also able to assign the TAP\/CTL switch to various functions like Warp or Twist, opening up a wide range of dramatic real-time effects.
