Boss is back with the brand new announces SDE-3 Dual Delay. The SDE-3 fuses the vintage digital character of the legendary Roland SDE-3000 rackmount delay into a pedalboard-friendly stompbox with a host of modern features.
The SDE-3 Dual Delay offers comprehensive delay and modulation controls, multiple mono and stereo output options, and a unique Offset function that unlocks an array of colorful dual-delay textures. So basically if you missed out on the SDE-3000D and SDE-3000EVH in 2023, this is at least a shot at getting that tone.
Along with reproducing the SDE-3000’s original mono sound, the SDE-3 includes a powerful Offset knob to create interesting tones with two simultaneous delays. On its outputs, the two stereo modes include discrete left/right delays and a panning option for ultra-wide sounds that move across the stereo field. Dry and effect-only signals can be sent to two amps for wet/dry setups, and the direct sound can be muted for studio mixing and parallel effect rigs.
The SDE-3 offers numerous control options to enhance live and studio performances. Tap tempo mode is available with a press and hold of the pedal switch, while the TRS MIDI input can be used to sync the delay time with clock signals from DAWs, pedals, and drum machines.
Optional external footswitches provide on-demand access to tap tempo and a hold function for on-the-fly looping. Alternately, an expression pedal can be used to control the Level, Feedback, and Time knobs for delay mix adjustment, wild pitch effects, and dramatic self-oscillation.
