Twelve Versatile Delay Modes and Deep Editing Options
With the DD-500s 12 delay modes, you can create any delay sound you can imagine, and then some. Everything you need is here, from warm, gritty vintage delays and tape echo to complex modern delay lines that employ pitch shifting, filtering, and other unique processing. With the hands-on knobs, its easy to shape essential parameters and create great sounds immediately. Each delay type also includes a semi-parametric four-band EQ, modulation, ducking, and many other parameters, allowing you to dive deep and refine tones with maximum precision.
Unparalleled Sound Quality
In the DD-500, every delay mode has been carefully crafted for a unique sonic personality and highly musical tones at every setting, realized by high-powered DSP running at 32-bit/96 kHz. And while the DD-500s delay effects are high-end digital, your straight guitar tone remains 100-percent analog at all times, with your choice of buffered or true-bypass operation. In addition to strengthening the analog dry signal, buffered bypass has the added benefit of enabling carryover, so delay trails are not cut off unnaturally when the effect is switched off.
Advanced Features for Stage and Studio Use
In the world of sophisticated delay stomps, the DD-500 stands alone in practical usability. The large, integrated LCD fully supports the pedals immense capabilities, giving you clear visibility of delay time, patch ID, and more on one screen, plus sane navigation for detailed parameter tweaks, naming, and system management. And via USB, its simple to connect to your computer for patch backup and MIDI control with your favorite DAW.
Intensive Real-Time Control
With its freely assignable controls, the DD-500 delivers unmatched creative expression and performance flexibility. By default, the A, B, and TAP/CTL switches offer intuitive control for two patches, bypass, bank selection, tap tempo, and more. However, they can be customized to operate in alternate ways, such as providing top-level access to three different delay patches, or allowing you to use two patches at once for layered delay sounds. Instead of tap tempo, youre able to assign the TAP/CTL switch to various real-time functions like Warp or Twist for a wide range of expressive effects. Even more parameters can be manipulated via an optional expression pedal or external switches, and MIDI I/O opens up many additional control options with advanced setups.

DD-500 Assignable Control Functions
The following functions can be assigned to the DD-500s onboard TAP/CTL switch and/or optional external footswitches. These assignments are stored as part of a patch.
< li >TapSet the delay in time with a songs tempo.
< li >HoldThe delays feedback is held continuously while the switch is pressed.
< li >WarpIncreases the delays feedback and level simultaneously for powerful expressive effects.
< li >TwistAdjusts multiple delay parameters with a single press, creating wild sounds similar to twisting the panel knobs in real time.
< li >MomentOutputs the delay sound only when you hold down the switch.
< li >Roll 1/2Cuts the delay time to 1/2 of the current setting when you hold down the switch.
< li >Roll 1/4Cuts the delay time to 1/4 of the current setting when you hold down the switch.
< li >Roll 1/8Cuts the delay time to 1/8 of the current setting when you hold down the switch.
< li >Fade InFades in the delay sound.
< li >Fade OutFades out the delay sound.
