DD-500 Digital Delay

The modes range from clean digital and BBD-style analogue to tape, early rack digital, reverse, shimmer and Tera Echo. Each mode adds a four-band EQ, modulation and ducking. Dual and Pattern modes build layered or rhythmic repeats.

Three footswitches select patches, banks and tap tempo by default. They can also call up three patches directly, or run two patches together. The third switch can instead trigger Hold, Warp, Twist or Roll for live changes.

Buffered bypass keeps delay trails after switching off. True bypass with relays is also available. A built-in phrase looper records up to 120 seconds in mono, and the USB editor handles patch backup.
