BOSS DD-200

The BOSS 200 series delivers advanced sound and versatility in a compact pedalboard-friendly design. Easy-to-use controls, onboard memory, and 32-bit audio processing make setup simple, with support for footswitch, expression pedal, and MIDI control.

The DD-200 Digital Delay packs the DD-500’s iconic tones into a smaller pedal, offering 12 delay modes, a built-in looper, and seamless memory transitions - perfect for everything from classic echoes to rich ambient textures.

Check out the BOSS DD-200 Digital Delay below.

Version 1.1 Update:

The free Version 1.1 software update brings increased flexibility to the BOSS 200 series, greatly expanding the onboard memory capacity for storing and recalling sounds. There are now 128 user setups available. Setups can also be recalled directly via MIDI program change.

With 12 different modes to choose from, the DD-200 provides nearly any flavour of delay in an amazingly compact size.

At your command are super-clean digital delays, gritty analogue echoes, and spot-on retro sounds from the Roland RE-201 Space Echo and Binson Echorec 2. There’s also a variety of options for creating reverse effects, lo-fi tones, and pulsing rhythmic sounds with layered delays. And with the Tera Echo, Shimmer, and Pad Echo modes, immersive ambient colours are just a knob twist away.

The DD-200 features a no-nonsense interface, making it easy to craft inspiring sounds in the heat of the moment. Essential delay parameters are provided on dedicated controls for direct, hands-on access. And in each mode, the function of the PARAM knob changes to parameters tailored for the selected type, delivering extended control with no need to menu dive.

The DD-200 features 127 user memories plus a real-time panel setting, giving you 128 total setups to choose from. Any range of consecutive memories and the panel setting can be assigned for scrolling access from a footswitch. It’s also possible to limit the scrolling range or assign memories directly for even faster recall. If you crave deeper control, setups can be directly recalled via program change messages from an external MIDI device. And by enabling the carryover function, delay repeats will keep sounding as you change memories for smooth, free-flowing transitions.

By default, the DD-200’s multi-function footswitches provide access to basic functions like bypass, memory scrolling, tap tempo, and looper control. But you can easily reassign them to hold, warp, and many other functions. External control is also possible via footswitches or an expression pedal, and MIDI I/O is even provided on space-saving mini TRS jacks. Via MIDI, you’re able to chain multiple 200 series pedals and select memories on all of them at once, and also control a wide range of functions from MIDI devices like the ES-8 and ES-5 effects switchers.

Any time you’re ready, pressing the DD-200’s two footswitches together puts you into looper mode. Up to 60 seconds of mono recording time is available, and operation is simple and direct with the onboard switches. And since the looper engine functions independently, you’re able to develop expressive loops with any of the DD-200’s rich delay sounds.

• Standard : Clear digital delay. PARAM adjusts the delay attack.
• Analog : Emulates classic analogue “BBD” delays like the BOSS DM series. PARAM controls character and distortion amount.
• Tap : Emulates the warm tape-based sound of the legendary Roland RE-201 Space Echo. PARAM selects different combinations of three playback heads, and also adjusts the amount of distortion in the delay sound.
• Drum : Models the drum-based Binson Echorec 2. PARAM selects different combinations of four playback heads, and also adjusts the amount of distortion in the delay sound.
• Shimmer : Pitch-shifted delay for lush, heavenly textures. PARAM adjusts the delay brightness.
• Tera Echo : Spacious, animated ambience effect derived from the BOSS TE-2 pedal. PARAM adjusts the sound character.
• Pad Echo : Newly developed delay sound for creating drifting ambient textures. PARAM adjusts the delay attack.
• Pattern : Rhythmic sounds with 16 delay lines layered together. PARAM selects different pattern variations.
• Lo-Fi : Delay sound with fat, distorted character. PARAM adjusts the distortion effect.
• Dual : Two different delay lines connected in series. PARAM adjusts the time of the second delay.
• Reverse : Backwards delay for cool psychedelic effects and other unique tones. PARAM adjusts the delay attack.
• Ducking : Delay with a built-in ducking effect. PARAM adjusts the input sensitivity.
