DD-3 vs DD-6

BOSS DD-3 and DD-6 Digital delay stomp boxes.

| can hear a huge difference between these two pedals on the musicians friend page.
but, |m also considering the possiblity that they may be deliberatly holding back on the sample clips of he DD-3 to make us customers go for the more expencive pedal.
| ask this because | see that quite a few of you are using a DD-3 in your pedal boards, but still have alot of other fairly expencive gear.

Does anyone have experience with both pedals, difference worth 50$?

I've used both and I really can't tell much of a difference in tone,

The dd-6 has a few more options, like the reverse delay and a repeat function that basicly loops what you've played.

If you think that those features will come in handy then I would go for the dd-6, but otherwise the dd-3 will do just fine!

The DD6 is also stereo.

oo yea thanks, I forgot that AND that the dd-6 has tap-tempo

DD-3 will basically do the trick everything you need to unless you're running a stereo rig or really need tap-tempo.

| really dont see a problem with the letter 'I'

When I don't plan on using the extra features, I like to keep my board as simple as possible for a live setting, so the DD-3 is perfect for a simple delay if that's all you need. I generally have one setting that I like to use, and I find it easier to dial in on the DD-3 than the DD-6. I still own a DD-6 and a DL-4 for the wider variety of stuff I like to do when recording, however.
