- Learn how to create a heavenly ambient guitar tone using the BOSS DD-500 Delay paired with the BOSS TE-2 Tera Echo reverb. I'll create an ambient drone using the DD-500 Phrase looper, along with its tape and analog delay types. Finally, I add a sheen of multidimensional delay/reverb with the TE-2 Tera Echo.

Has anyone else used the DD-500 phrase looper to create drones? Comment and share your experience!
thanks
Hey, Bill. I just ordered a DD-500 at least in part to the strength of your great videos (great as usual!), so many thanks there!
Yes, I'm certainly planning on using the onboard looper for "special" parts every now and then, but I was wondering if, when one _disengages_ the looper, are there still trails etc.available -or- does the loop simply stop cold? (I would think that a sudden stop might be somewhat jarring, especially in ambient music such as yours.)
Also, with the loop running, can you still turn on and off two simultaneous delays (when set to that mode)?
Sorry for all the questions, but your great demo was simply leading my imagination on to other ideas. Thanks so much again!
I swear, Bill, you are the Bob Ross of pedal/ process demos here.
Happy Little Delays
:-)
I just commented this! Lol did not even see this. Haha
stop being so damn soothing! lol
Bob Ross is a master of cheese. This is not cheese .
I thought I was the only one thinking about this 🤣😂😂
The sound you get from those pedals is so rich it's beautiful
Thanks!
Cheers Bill, from New Zealand. Loved your skills and info. Lovely touches, great ambience. 💡💡💡💡👍
Thanks so much Hartley!!
Thank you so much Bill, for this fantastic video. Really like the way you're sliding left, right and back, revealing the correct set of pedals on the background :)
Glad you liked it!!
Chords of Orian,
Very informative and good presentation. I have been looping and recording and playing what we called "background" music since about 2000 or so when I got a Boomerang pedal which I still use. Your sequence of set up regarding the effects is not dissimilar to what I have done. I now am using a Boss ME80 and actually get great sounds out of it.
What I get from you is an explanation of what and why you are using the pedal effect and it brings things in focus and gives me some ideas, new as well as giving me ground to understand intellectually what I was doing intuitively.
Thank you very much,
Greg
Glad you liked the vid. Thanks so much for letting me know!
Very beautiful sound!!
Good video sir davos
Nice! I could listen to this all night;-)
Love this video, great knowledge.
Thanks!
Just got a Terra Echo recently. It’s so good for ambient stuff!
Excellent!!
Great tutorial,
I love this one.
I use Tera-Echo on my Boss GT-1 so much while recording, I have to buy one for the live-board ... if I can ever rehearse with other people again 😷
Great demo/playing. ☮️
CoO made something special here
Thanks so much for this.
Nice video! Subscribed!
I always wondered how you avoid the click sound when the looper jumps from end to beginning of the loop. Finally I came across this video of yours, and learned the trick is to record/overdub the drone longer than the loop itself... it surely feels good to finally figure something out. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Yes, there's not a seamless split it seems, but it's dependent of which type of delay you really have got. There's trails in the delay, but I do this instead:
I record FIRST and completely empty loop that runs for almost the whole minute or 120 seconds. Completely silent. Then just press "overdub" and overdub the silent loop with delays, then with it turns around the delays doesn't gets chopped off as they are "overdubbed" again to the first part. You have to know the start and stop points of the silent loop, and then press "just around" the recording point, and then press "just around" the stop point. Then it's no risk of running out of time, or that the delays gets chopped off. No click is heard at any place.
I've even found a way to play/record with the looper with a certain select delay, and then solo on top of that with a completely different delay, so you're not bound to the delays of the recorded looper sounds. You have to use external exp pedals or footswitches for this though. You do have to stay within the same A/B patches and use A/B simul mode.
@@MatsOrbation Maybe I just have a really shit looper (just the hold function on a Boss DD-7), but it's way easier than that. Just make a silent loop and overdub for longer than that (I like to count to four seconds), it'll automatically wrap back around with no cut. Of course, a looper that allows recording overdubs of different lengths won't work that way...
Great video, Bill! Could you upload a couple of screenshots with the DD-500 patch parameters?
Awesome
I thought the DD500 also had a Tera echo patchn why did you chose to add the separate pedal, does it sound different?
Just seeing this now. Fantastic stuff yet again. This technique could be really handy for creating beds to play over at solo gigs
Scored a TE2 but for synths. Mad little pedal that😜
Really nice video! Question: does the DD-500 allow for feedback decay while overdubbing (similar to the Time Factor and Ditto X4 loopers)?
This give me some Blade runner feels!!!
i love the p90 pickups on the guitar
It's a great tone for sure!
09:16 Playstation one opening, , that's what came to my mind kkk
Creo que es el mejor vídeo que tienes. Muy bueno! No entiendo el bucle vacío, lo podrías explicar?
Yeah!
You're completely right about the V2 firmware, I was really on the fence about my 500 before that but now I love it and any Strymon gas has gone!
Indeed!!
Is thr DD500 connected through FX loops or front of the amp? Plus how the stereo connection is done? With 2 amps?
The DD-500 is in the effects loop of my Avid Eleven Rack amp modeler. It's a stereo loop, and the amp modeler has a stereo output.
Hello my friend, love your videos! Might I ask some advice please? I have 3 delays on my board at the moment and I'm trying to get an all in one instead. I'm a delay junkie. Lol I have a Boss dd5 that's on all the time, just to wet things up, a Bbe two timer for true analog and the 2 presets and the Boss Dd-20, which I absolutely love! I have however been thinking the Boss Dd-500 could cover everything. It has everything I would need, but the sounds are just not musical to me(at least in RUclips videos) as compared to my Dd20. I'm also looking at the Nemesis, which is very musical, but it won't do everything I need in one pedal. Is there any other delay I should be looking at or go for the Dd-500? What is your advice and opinion?
So you want to run multiple delays at the same time? If so, the TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay is worth considering, as it has 3 discrete delay lines that can be combined in serial or parallel. As you have observed, the DD-500 is also a great choice for running multiple delays. Just be sure that the firmware is upgraded to V2.
are you using an amp? if not does it just go into the boss and out to the focusrite?
Excellent video. So does the Tera echo effect on the DD - 500 have additional parameters than on the standalone pedal? Also, does it sound as good?
It does have additional parameters - there are a large number of common parms across all delay types. And yes - the DD-500 sounds very, very nice!
Did you run two delays simultaneously without using the 3rd footswitch (C)? Is that a new feature brought about by the upgraded firmware? Because as far as I know, the way to run two delays simultaneously is to set it so that the C activates both A & B. From your video, it seemed like both delays ran together, but the C still controlled the tap tempo. Is this the case? Or, is this just how the Dual mode runs? I'm sorry, I bought a DD500 weeks ago and I still haven't found the time to just sit down and noodle with it.
+Cole Geconcillo exactly. That is the a/b simul mode that I discuss in the video. Make you have version 2 of the firmware!
Cool stuff! Any particular reason you place the volume pedal in the middle of the chain?
I generally prefer the volume pedal after any compressors and distortions so the volume does not affect either gain or compression level. I have a video comparing volume pedal placement in case you are interested: ruclips.net/video/jsuKmAJo3Qc/видео.html
Makes perfect sense to do that now that I think about it. Perhaps I should think more!
Hi Bill, the dd-500 says it has a Tera echo on it, is it the same thing as the standalone pedal?
I have not done a direct side by side comparison, but the DD-500 tera sounds very nice.
That open E string sounds like the intro to Orion by Metallica. I think there's a coincidence there.
Looks like that DD-500 brings a complete tera echo option am I right?
I would say that it does a pretty dang good job of getting the sounds of the TE-2.

Bill is like Tom Ford mixed with The Edge.
hi,one question.If you could choose between DIG and DD500 while the only thing that matter is sound,which would you prefer?
if you are referring to the quality of the delay sound, then the DIG is better than the DD-500 clean delays. Not a lot, but some for sure.
Chords Of Orion thanks a lot
How about some HAPPY LITTLE ECHOES?
Pls do clean drones
So essentially 4 delays. DUAL is 2 delays at once and then using A/B SIMUL feature thats 1 more, and finally using the TERRA ECHO pedal is 1 so 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 delay pedals. Sort of.
Seems like overkill with the number pedals.
Nope. This a pretty minimal set up for ambient. It's the most gear heavy guitar style by far. At least three delays, two reverbs and several loopers are common.
He's the Bob Ross of guitar pedal players
I feel like the problem with these pedals is that they distract you from actually getting good at guitar, you have to get good at using the pedals, and they inspire you to play simple stuff a lot of the time, and on top of it, a lot of the time when you come up with something good with the pedals it doesn't sound good without the pedals. Almost like what you wrote wasn't really that good to begin with. I feel this is a trap for most people.
I would encourage you to watch my videos in which I encourage folks to focus in improving their skills on guitar.
@@chordsoforion I will, Thanks for responding!
you sprinkle things like these in to enhance your tone or sound but never lean on them for your abilities as a guitarist and side note depends on what your chasing for sound what you are trying to explore or achieve . all your favorite guitarists for the most part have experimented with a pedal or two to achieve a different tonal quality out of their instruments . a trap or a crutch or something that inspires or intimidates some to each their own .
Jesus christ, less talk more rock homie!
This is what happens when you take too much LSD kids. Never eat mushrooms unless they come from Pizza Hut people.
Nice! I could listen to this all night;-)
Hope you got some sleep! :-) Thanks!!!
just sub'd and thank you for the enlightening me with your video's ;-) all the best!
