Hardwire DL-8 vs Boss DD-7
-----------------------------------------
As promised, here is a small comparison of these two compact delays. Both are excellent work horse delays with unique features.
I had both delay units side by side for about a week. I compared them pretty extensively as far as sound quality and features, as well as possible problems with each.
Delay Models Available:
The DD-7 has Digital, Analog, Modulate, and reverse.
The DL-8 has Digital, Reverse, Modulate, Analog, Low-fi, and Tape.
So the clear winner here is the DL-8. Two more sounds available than the DD-7.
Sound Quality:
This is my main concern with any delay unit. I don't care if it washes the dishes or walks the dog if it doesn't sound good doing it. I will discuss each delay model, comparing it to the other pedal.
Digital vs Digital:
This one is close. They are both completely crisp and clean digital delays. This is what I don't care for. I like a little rolled off the top. But I would say the DL-8 has slightly better sounding digital. The way that I determined this, was by listening not only to the repeats, but how they interact with each other. This is a key factor in determining the sound quality of any delay pedal.
The DD-7's repeats seemed to collide with each other in a more harsh way. There is some slight digital harshness if you listen very closely to the repeats colliding. If you only play one note you won't hear it - you have to play a few rythmic licks and let them trail off.
The DL-8 had less of the "harsh" sound with the same test. Though to be fair, neither pedals sound as good as my DD-2 or the Timefactor in a plain digital test.
Winner: DL-8
Modulated Delay vs Modulated Delay:
The DD-7's modulation is faster and more extreme than the DL-8. The DL-8's modulation is more pleasing to my ear, slower, and less cheesy. It seems more warm and slightly analog, though the repeats on both units are still based off the crisp digital sound. If only the highs were rolled off slightly, this would be an amazing modulated sound on the DL-8.
One thing I love about the DL-8's modulated delay is when it is run in stereo. It encorporates "stereo depth" when using two outputs. By this, I mean that the delayed signals are out of phase (or something like that) with the dry signal, making them seem much wider and expansive. The Line 6 DL4 does this with the digital setting also, and I had missed it since I ditched it for other reasons.
Winner: DL-8
Analog vs Analog:
This test is really an apples to oranges test. The DD-7's analog mode sounds darker and degrades faster than the DL-8. It sounds very close to a DM-2. The DL-8's analog mode sounds more like a DOD FX96, meaning that the repeats don't degrade as much and are a little brighter than the DD-7's.
Both models sound great in this aspect. I may have a slight preference to the DD-7 in this, mostly because of the way the repeats degrade.
Winner: Tie / Possibly DD-7
DD-7 Analog vs DL-8 Low Fi
The DL-8's low-fi mode is the shiz. It is my favorite mode on the entire pedal.
It reminds me a little bit of the Line 6 DL4's Low-res or tape style delays. The repeats degrade fairly quick, and have an awesome warm old school sound to them. I would also compare this mode to Analogman's delay or a DM-2 with a little more old school flavor.
In a nutshell, it's somewhere between a DM-2 and the Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay.
Winner: DL-8
DL-8 Tape Mode:
Well the DD-7 doesn't have a tape mode, so it obviously loses this one. Truth be told I haven't spent a lot of time with this mode on the DL-8. What I can say, is that it sounds similar to the analog mode, except with more high end in tact. I haven't noticed any tape warble in the sound.
More to come on this one...
Construction:
Both pedals are bullet proof. However, saying this I would still give the DL-8 the edge. It is a very solid, and even heavy pedal that I would not be afraid to gig 7 nights a week.
However, the DL-8 is actually quite a bit LARGER than the DD-7. I didn't realize this until it arrived. It's footprint is close to the size of a 1590NS (Barber sized) enclosure. Which for some people may be an issue.
Winner: Draw
Looping:
Sorry, but I haven't done any looping with either pedal. I believe the DD-7 has more time however, so it probably wins out.
Functionality:
This is where the DD-7 shines. It oscillates, has external tap tempo, as well as having subdivisions on the tap tempo.
The DL-8 does not oscillate (as well anyway), and does not have external tap or tapping subdivisions. In addition, the knobs are knotched - this could be a good thing or a bad thing. When adjusting very fine delay times, it can be a bad thing by limiting the time. However, I have also found it to be useful because each little notch can act like a preset for songs or tempos. YMMV... The DL-8 does have tap tempo, but you have to hold the footswitch for 3 seconds to enter that mode, then another 3 seconds to exit. LAME.
I have no idea why Digitech would not hit the home run here. By adding external tap tempo, subdivision, and non-notched knobs they would have destroyed the DD-7.
As it is, the DD-7 is more functional for live playing.
Winner: DD-7
Stereo Operation:
Both units sport true stereo ins and outs, but the way that the delays interact in stereo is a little different.
The DD-7 does ping pong delay on every one of it's delay models when using two outputs and one input. ** I am not sure about using two inputs on the DD-7 **
The DL-8 uses ping pong delay on all except Modulated when using both outputs and one input. When using both inputs, none of the models use ping pong.
It would be nice to have a hard switch to select either ping pong or normal delays.
Bypass:
DL-8 is true bypass, DD-7 is buffered. However, I didn't notice any tonal degradation with the DD-7 when I used it.
Winner: DL-8
Overall Impressions:
It basically comes down to what you need in a compact delay. If you want stellar sound quality and many different delay sounds, go with the DL-8.
However, if you need external tap and more intuitive features, the DD-7 is the clear winner.
For me, I can deal with the functionality of the DL-8 in order to have it's sound quality and stellar delay modes. But you might be different!
