Description
This powerful box of tricks from BOSS gives you unparalleled control of the delay elements of your sound. Housed inside the bomb-proof metal housing is a treasure chest of delays in all varieties: digital, vintage, tape echo, reverse, slow attack...there are 12 modes to choose form and patch memories to save your choices to for future recall.
There is a lot of real time control with plenty of function-specific knobs and assignable foot control functions to allow you a high level on hands-free control which of course is perfect for guitarists! There's a large LED display for easy stage reading of patch info.
Interestingly, you can choose whether you want your signal to be processed with a buffer or as true-bypass. Each has it's benefits and drawbacks but when BOSS include both, one can hardly complain! Choose what's right for you and your setup.
Sound quality is extremely high: processing is at a constant 32bit/96kHz and whilst the effects are digital, your guitar tone remains 100% analogue at all times. This really is like having the best of both worlds!
