Same, the novelty of that effect wore thin very fast for me. Although, I imagine it's more popular these days with other players than the Gate mode on RV-5 (which is funny because I've grown to love gated reverb and would have used that a lot more).

I like that there's a dynamic reverb on it, those can be really handy, although handier if you can control the side-chaining of any of the reverbs instead of just whatever specific algorithm is in that mode. That's probably outside the scope of a compact pedal though. I wonder what the delay+ mode is.

Whoa, weird. Regular footswitches.

Really like the aesthetics on that dd-500. Already telling myself I'll be buying one when it drops. Curious what stateside pricing will be, will definitely be prymaxe'ing this one, need that discount cause I'm a cheap ass.

I need to hear a more indepth demo, really. Also want to know if it has Tap divisions, since that's my jam. Which reminds me of my idle hope that strymon releases a new Timeline so that the prices of the old one divebomb, thus allowing me to finally try one.

Actually, if the DD-500 is around 250, I might pick it up on the spot... My delay quest is only getting worst.

I've only seen euro pricing and its on par with the small box strymon stuff so thinking it will be about 3 bills, so hopefully $255 out the door with discount.

Word on the street is it can run 2 algos at once.

I'd provide you with a sauce, but I'm pretty sure it came straight from the mouth of the horse that is BOSS

If it's that cheap there's no way I'm buying a timeline

Boss sneaking out a couple unexpected wins for NAMM.

Can definitely see myself using a DD-500. Don't know why they keep including battery options though

Arrives in 14 working days? Listed at £259. Strymon small boxes usually list at £249 so we'll see. Getting ansy on how soon these actually may be dropping.

"By default, the A, B, and TAP/CTL switches offer intuitive control for two patches, bypass, bank selection, tap tempo, and more. However, they can be customized to operate in alternate ways, such as providing top-level access to three different delay patches, or allowing you to use two patches at once for layered delay sounds. Instead of tap tempo, you’re able to assign the TAP/CTL switch to various real-time functions like Warp or Twist for a wide range of expressive effects."

^from the boss site.
the specs on this thing absolutely slay the timeline. each algo has dedicated controls for 4 band EQ, modulation and ducking.. 32 bit A/DA conversion.. current draw is half that of the timeline too.
suck on that strymanz.

i agree that batteries are pretty silly nowadays but Boss' user base does extend very far into 'old people who want to power things like a television remote' and 'annoying busker with loop pedal' territory, so

Other thing I can tell you is the interface looks drawn from the GR-55/GT100 on the LCD.

That's a good thing in terms of likely editability and functionality.

Battery operation is still huge for a lot of players, if nothing else as a backup.

If I needed another delay I'd certainly look at this (and may anyway!)

Fuck. I need that boss.
I'm really curious about the looping capabilities more than the delay modes.
Delay+Looper simultaneously would be teh shiet and I will sell the timeline for $600 in TGP.

IT HAS MIDI!

Think the RV-6 is worth getting over the RV-5? I've been thinking about getting an RV-5 pretty much just for the modulated verb.
