it must be the mij dd3. i used analog delays since the 90s and when i got my first digital delay, which was the mij dd3, my ears perked up. lovely. i have 3 now.
I actually don't hear any repetition in this vid for an all 12 o' clock setting, it sounds more of a reverb from here, are u sure the dd3 was kicked in?
@chojinkid yeah, well... On low delay settings it basically is a reverb. That's almost exactly what reverb is, but reverb is all in the same note if that makes sense. Reverb is just fast delay at a certain frequency.
@pacrat90 yep, but he says his setting is with the nobs all at 12 o'clock, in that position the DD3 doesn't sound like a reverb, but like a standard delay ala Gilmour
Trying to decide between MXR Carbon Copy and Boss DD3....is 50 bucks really worth the analog? I mean, yea, analog consoles usually produce a nicer, deeper, richer sound than a digital pedal.....but I've been after Bonamassa's tone for the longest time, and he uses the DD3?? Any sugestions?
I own both, and if I had to chose one i'd pick the carbon copy. The MXR has a much warmer tone. The DD3 is still a great pedal. Go to guitar center and play both.
@lespaul76 if you don't have an effects loop definitely don't get the boss. But if you're running it through an effects loop wired in series you'll get some good tones. Good luck
@lespaul76 i seem to get a way more warmer tone with the dd-3 in the fx loop then the MXR. i dunno, gues its all personal preference. The MXR was a tad bit more digi sounding to me
Not all amps have loops that you can turn on/off with the switch of the amp. A lot of amps have loops where signal is going through all the time, and you have to turn the delay itself on/off. That's not a clean signal path!
Ah, gotcha. I don't really buy into a lot of the true bypass hype though. Having your pedals all be true bypass can have a negative effect on your tone. In any event, I had a DD3 which I ran through the loop and I never even noticed the buffer. It's best not to worry too much about such things.
@Stringprodigy well, if you have a loop youre always bypassing the buffer.
The fact of the matter is that "True" Bypass isnt really that much better than buffered bypass when youre running a chain of effects. Right now im running both a (modded) Boss SD1 and an ibanez analog chorus(theyre cheap damnit), and it really isnt affecting my tone that much. If you run a "true" bypass before the buffer stage (my wah, for instance) you cut off most of the tone loss.
Does anyone know what mode joe has it set on? I can't tell if he has it on the hold mode or the one next to it? I tried both and i can't get even close to the sound. The 800ms has too much and you have to hold down the switch on the hold mode to get it to work. I'm really frustrated...
nice! I was trying to justify any reason to replace my beat up DD 3 with a high end boutique type delay pedal but hey if it works for Joe Bonamassa it has to work for me! Thanks for posting! :)
If you set all the knobs at 12 O clock as Joe say's you certainly don't get the delay that he does. Not sure what he is on about there.

There are several delay settings on the pedal. You said you use the same one all the time. Which one did you choose. By the way, thanks.

If you put it in the effects loop of your amp, you WILL have a clean signal path...

What? A loop is a clean signal path by design. That's what it's there for.

The loop is, but the pedal isn't. They have buffered bypass.
That's the point of Joni0001984's comment.

it has to be the 800ms, it wouldn't work with the hold function as its more of a short looper
