Origin of Vintage Digital Delay | BOSS SDE-3000D

Perspectives on delay units are often split into two distinct camps: analog and digital. Keywords attached to analog often include “warm, rich, organic,” while those given to digital, on the other hand, might lean toward “precise and clean”. The Roland SDE-3000, however, set a standard for lush, musical delay tones that has reigned supreme for decades, and established a sound that perfectly blends precision and character into a third realm that beautifully captures the best of both worlds. In this video, Yoshi Ikegami details the magic of the Roland SDE-3000 and explains how technological advancements, cutting edge engineering and Roland innovation combined to create the original in 1983. For the full Roland SDE-3000 story: Fast-forward and BOSS has released the SDE-3000D, and SDE-3000EVH pedals. The SDE-3000D brings you not one but two authentic reproductions of the much-loved Roland SDE-3000 in a floor-based pedal, whilst the SDE-3000EVH adds extensive connectivity to build a wet/dry/wet rig just like Eddie Van Halen.
