This is the BOSS DD-5 digital delay. Produced from around 1995 to 2003, this model is a classic that remains popular even now, after the release of its successor, due to its unique functionality. Manufacturing Period and Serial Number Based on the serial number EM26619 on the back of the unit, this unit was manufactured in May 2000. DD-5s from this period had very stable manufacturing processes, making this a highly reliable unit. Features Unique to the DD-5 • Versatile 11 Modes: In addition to a wide range of delay times from 1ms to 2000ms, it also features a reverse mode for creating reversed sounds and a hold mode for short-duration recording. • External Tap Tempo Support: Equipped with a dedicated tempo jack, allowing you to connect an external switch (such as the FS-5U) to input the tempo with your foot during a performance. This ease of operation is a point often praised as being superior to its successor, the DD-6. • Stereo Output Support: Features a panning out function, enabling spatial sound production with a wide spread. Reasons Why Professionals Love It Because it has an independent tap tempo jack, tempo settings during a performance are extremely smooth. Many players prefer this DD-5 over its successor, the DD-6, due to this ease of operation. Units made in 2000 have high manufacturing precision and still possess the specifications to be a top-tier digital delay. It is especially popular among players who frequently use tap tempo and those who prefer the texture of reverse delay. Product Condition Operation has been confirmed, and all controls and mode switching function normally. The exterior shows signs of use commensurate with age, but there is no significant damage, and it is in a condition that can be used directly in practice. Other This is a listing for the unit only. The power supply is compatible with a standard PSA adapter (9V).
