Yes, and the president of Boss now is the guy that designed the SDE3000,SRV2000 and many others. The specs look amazing. Knowing this guy I am sure it will not dissapoint.

Looks like I'll be replacing my DD-20 soon Hopefully it isn't too steep.

Is he responsible for the new ES-8 switcher? That thing has some seriously awesome capabilities compared to everything else in its price range and even higher.

This looks really great! Might not be gassing for the Timeline anymore

It's GOT to sound good. I mean, just look at it.

Funny I was looking at the boss site last night thinking they should have a new delay out.

I noticed that it has a Dual delay feature, which I assume is like using two delays set for different times (like VH does with his SDE3000s). BUT, that setting is different from the SDE3000 setting. I wish you could use DUAL Delay WITH the SDE3000 emulation.

I hope there is a way.

Sure looks nice. I'm digging on the look of new pedals. The big companies are going for the high tech clean look, while the smaller builders are using more wacky artwork and such. Very cool.

I've always liked Boss pedals, and their digital delay gets the job done quite nicely. I like the dual delay setting, assuming it means 2 delay signals at different speeds. That's the Andy Timmons (and plenty of other players) trick. 2 Deluxe Memory Man units set at slightly different speeds.
