SUMMER NAMM 2015: Boss's 2015 effects revamp continues with the announcement of the DD-500 Digital Delay and RV-6 Reverb, which both feature all-new Boss algorithms.
The DD-500 builds on the legacy of the DD-20, with what Boss claims is "the most powerful and versatile digital delay pedal ever made", boasting 12 delay modes, a graphic display and deep editing controls.
As well as the usual digital, analogue and tape echo modes, the DD-500 also packs pitch-shifted, filtered and dynamic delays, plus emulations of the Roland SDE-2000 and SDE-3000 rack units and the Boss DD-2 compact digital delay.
Controls include a semi-parametric four-band EQ, modulation and ducking, while the graphic display allows easy adjustment of parameters.
In addition, the DD-500 also packs a 60-second stereo Phrase Loop function (120 seconds in mono), plus USB connectivity for backing up patches, and MIDI control for use with DAWs.
