Boss Delay Pedals-what's the difference?

DD-3 max delay time is 800ms. Has hold function.
DD-5 max delay time is 2000ms (according to the one an ebay). Has tap tempo? when used with an external footswitch?
DD-6 max delay time is 2600ms. Has reverse setting. Has 'warp' setting. Has hold function

The DD-5 is only available used.

UK prices for a DD-3 is £74 and a DD-6 is £104. Those aren't the cheapest prices just the first website I found.

 

Also the DD-3 has tap tempo with an external footswitch while the DD-6 can do tap tempo if you hold down the main stomp for '>2 sec' (this is annoying because you always have to have +2 seconds to switch to tap tempo and +2 seconds to turn off the pedal when using tt, so it's only really useful if you have time/use it for a whole song or have an effects loop). 'Warp' is like a combination of a regular delay and a 'hold' function -- it functions like a delay, but 'holds' when you hold down the stomp (the 'hold' decays when you let off the stomp).

If you have the cash, go for the DD-20 instead -- 24 sec of delay, dedicated on/off and tap tempo/memory plus oodles more settings.

Also, the DD-5 is believed to be warmer sounding, which is why it's still sought after.

 

my freind has a problem with his delay. think he has the dd3 or dd5 im not sure but the pedal will only work if u hold down the pedal. i dont know if this is a broken pedal or whether its a function on the pedal. please help. thanks

 

don't leave out the DD-7.

 

Since I don't do Brian May stuff on bass, the DD-3 is good for me. I love mine.
