Even if the delay pedal did boost the volume(which it does'nt) it could only go as loud as the amp can.Turning the master volume down on the amp would fix that.
Once an amp hits a certain volume level(its limit)then all that adding boost/OD pedals will do is add more compression I.E a more distorted sound.Guitar amps have a volume limit and once it hits that limit no pedal will actually increase the loudness just the compression.Now most boost/OD pedals do have a volume control to adjust the balance between the volumes of the pedal and the dry amp sound but even then it can't go louder than the amps limit.
In short if it was too loud then the problem was'nt the pedal it was just the fact that he had his amp set too loud.A delay pedal with a volume control(which most don't)only affects the volume of the echo effect but delay pedals don't boost the guitars volume.
