Boss SDE-3 Dual Digital Delay Pedal

Full Description

Iconic 1980s digital delay sound

The Boss SDE-3 Dual Digital Delay Pedal brings the legendary sound of the 1980s Roland SDE-3000 Digital Delay to your pedalboard. This iconic delay effect, loved by musicians for its warm and rich tones, has been faithfully recreated using unique BOSS circuitry. Now, you can access the same lush delays that defined an era of music, all within a compact and easy-to-use pedal format.

Dual delay for expansive stereo effects

With dual delay capabilities, the SDE-3 allows you to create immersive stereo effects that enhance your sound. Fine-tune the relative time difference between the two delays using the Offset control, and craft expansive soundscapes that fill the stage or studio. This feature provides you with the flexibility to experiment and achieve a wide range of sonic textures.

Advanced stereo operation

Designed with advanced stereo operation in mind, the SDE-3 offers independent control over each channel. Whether you need to adjust the panning or configure the wet/dry signal mix for each output, this pedal provides the tools to shape your sound with precision. The ability to tailor each channel independently makes this pedal a versatile addition to any setup.

Modulation and real-time control

The SDE-3 doesn't just stop at delay; it also includes modulation controls to add depth and character to your repeats. Dedicated Depth and Rate knobs allow you to dial in SDE-3000-style modulation, adding a unique flavour to your sound. Additionally, the pedal features tap tempo, MIDI sync, and external footswitch compatibility, ensuring that your effects stay perfectly in sync with your performance.
