The DM-3 was the last analog delay pedal produced by Boss, and it is one of my favorite delays EVER. The circuitry is similar to the DM-2’s but it isn’t identical. The DM-3 has a built-in high speed noise reduction circuit and an additional filter, which make the delayed tones sound smooth and oh-so-analog-warm. You can mix-and-match settings between the Repeats and the Echoes, which can do a killer slap back (what this pedal is generally known for) or a delay that is just a bit longer, for some nice, warm trails on the end of a solo or phrase.
It’s also got a Direct output that can be used to create a stereo effect, which is a great feature, as ping-pong delay effects are great fun to experiment and play around with. The delay time is variable between, 20ms and 300ms just as the DM-2 and the control layout is also identical. There’s really not much more to say about this incredible delay – check out the video below to see what it sounds like. They’re a bit pricy if you can find one, but, like all Boss pedals, they have stood the test of time with flying colors, and will be a workhorse for anyone who picks it up.
