I'm looking to get a delay pedal to use with my synth. I'm trying to decide between the boss DD-3 and DD-6. In your opinion is the DD-6 worth the money.

I own a DD-3 that I don't really use all that much, but I think it's all I really need. 3 different adjustable delay lengths, and a HOLD mode which lets you repeat a pattern as long as you hold the footswitch down. At maximum it's really not that long of a loop though... the one thing I miss is a tap tempo feature... but with a little knob tweaking it's all good.

DD3, unless there is a feature you absolutely need that's on;y on the DD6 - And to show you how little I needed them, I don't remember what they even were.

for synth? get the line6 dl4, use the looper for looping bass parts or piano chords, and solo over them. doesn't the synth have effects itself?

THe newer ones do but mine dosen't. It's an old roland GR-1 I got off ebay.

The dl4 look pretty impresive. I'm looking to buy a pedal that i wont need to replace for one with more features. But I don't wont to spend alot of money for abunch a features I'll never use.

well, the dl4 is worth it for the looping alone- but the delays sound fantastic.

I personally prefer a simpler pedal if it can get the job done, and the DD-3 has been gettin' the job done for a long time. a timeless classic just like the MXR phase 90.

Rock ON

Get a boss PS-3 . . . especially if you're using a synth. Not only does the PS-3 do delay and chorusing, but it can also make some pretty cool synthy sort of sounds . . .

i was able to get a dd6 pretty cheap and its got some interesting features

theresa great 'warp' feature of the dd6 that i really like - it wont suit every song, but it has its place
