Personalised multi-point setup included

Before dispatch, your instrument will be treated to a full setup. That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best.

This is not a quick process but we believe every instrument should go through our process to acheive an exacting standard of playability.

Frets

We start with the frets on your instrument. All guitar necks move and change over time so we will make sure that your frets are nice and flat as we go up the neck. We don't want any high or low spots as this will mean your guitar will need a higher than optimum action and potentially suffer with fret buzz.

We check and properly profile the playing surface of the frets and then make sure the fret ends are finished off properly. The fret is then polished to ensure smooth string bending.

Truss Rod

Then it's on to the truss rod. This metal rod differs from guitar to guitar (some guitars such as classical guitars don't usually have a truss rod!) and basically controls the "relief" or curve of the neck. Not enough relief and your strings won't have enough clearance over the other frets when playing. Too much relief and you'll have a high action which gets worse as you go up the neck.

The heavier the strings then the more the truss rod needs to work. Proper adjustment in the workshop means that the action will be just right for the strings fitted to your guitar.

Top Nut

The top nut is super important and is one of the two open contact points of your guitar. The technician will check and cut each slot to make sure the strings both run freely but are not sitting in a slot that's too big.

The top nut also plays a big part in the action of your guitar so we'll hit that sweet spot between too low and too high.

Saddle(s)

Another really important part of your guitar!

On an acoustic, the saddle is cut to the correct height making sure the bottom is 100% flat and straight. This means the string can transfer its vibration properly into the body of your guitar.

For electric guitars, the saddles are adjusted to ensure your intonation is perfect. We will also match the saddles to the radius of your fretboard.

Bridge / Tremolo

The bridge affects the break angle and string height of your guitar and is also responsible for holding your saddles.

For a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo system or similar, the spring tension has to be just right to allow the tremolo to return to its "zero point" and keep everything in tune.

For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards.... the choice is yours!

Intonation

Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play.

Tiny adjustments are made to each string where applicable to adjust its length and ensure that the intonation is set just right.

Overall Action

Once all the above has been completed, the guitar is checked for playability and fine adjustments are made. This step brings everything together and means your guitar will be set up optimally.

Machine Heads

Every machine head is operated and checked for function. We need to ensure that the machine heads operate smoothly.

Electrics

All the functions of your guitar are checked to ensure everything is working as intended.

For acoustic guitars we will check the functions of the EQ system and controls as well as check the internal cabling and jack socket.

For electric guitars, all the pickups are checked for function and tonal response. All controls and switches are operated to ensure they are functioning properly. The jack socket is checked.

Other Parts

All other parts such as strap pins, bushings, tuning buttons etc are fully checked.

Dispatch

All our instruments get the same premium treatment whether you purchase online or instore.

If you have purchased online, your guitar will be carefully packed ready for dispatch. You will receive a tracking link via email.

Happy playing :)

Description

The BOSS DD-500 is a high-performance digital delay workstation designed for guitarists who demand studio-grade audio fidelity and expansive sound-design possibilities. Rather than offering just a few basic echoes, this pedal provides a deep, flexible engine that spans the entire history of delay, from pristine digital clarity to the characterful grit of vintage tape and analogue bucket-brigade units. It serves as an ideal centrepiece for a professional pedalboard, allowing you to sculpt everything from subtle rhythmic thickening to vast, ambient soundscapes with precision.

Uncompromising Studio-Grade Fidelity

At the heart of the DD-500 is a sophisticated 32-bit/96 kHz processing engine that ensures your dry tone remains pure and your repeats stay detailed and musical. This high-resolution architecture provides a wide dynamic range, preventing the signal degradation sometimes found in standard digital effects. To maintain signal integrity in any rig, the pedal supports your choice of true-bypass or buffered-bypass operation. The buffered mode provides the added benefit of delay trail carryover, which prevents repeats from being cut off unnaturally when you switch off the effect or change patches.

Twelve Distinct Delay Modes

The DD-500 offers twelve unique delay modes, each crafted with its own sonic personality and adjustable parameters. These include emulations of classic BOSS DM-series analogue delays, the legendary Roland RE-201 Space Echo, and 1980s-era digital rack units. For modern sound design, the pedal shines with highly creative algorithms like the Shimmer mode for pitch-shifted ambient swells, Pattern mode for complex rhythmic loops, and the unique Tera Echo for animated, spacious textures. Each mode is fully customisable, allowing you to refine your tone with a semi-parametric four-band EQ, modulation, and ducking settings.

Deep Control and Performance Expression

Performance flexibility is a primary focus of the DD-500, which offers deep, assignable control options that go far beyond standard footswitch operation. The three onboard switches can be configured to trigger specific functions for any patch, including tap tempo, bank selection, or momentary effects. You can assign functions such as Warp and Twist to generate expressive, real-time sounds, or use the Hold function to loop delay feedback continuously. This deep assignability extends to external expression pedals or footswitches, providing an interactive experience that responds dynamically to your performance style.

Professional Connectivity and System Integration

For players integrating the DD-500 into complex rigs, the unit provides comprehensive connectivity options. Full MIDI I/O allows for seamless synchronisation with external effects switchers and other devices. The USB connection enables deep remote editing and patch backup using the dedicated DD-500 Editor software, which is compatible with both Windows and macOS. Advanced routing options—including series, parallel, and independent delay connection modes—ensure that the pedal integrates into any signal chain, whether you are running a simple mono setup or a complex stereo rig.
