Compact Legend

Introduced in 1983 by our parent company Roland, the SDE-3000 is revered for its beautifully rich sound and distinctive modulation. The coveted SDE tone was realized through a finely tuned digital engine and the non-linear behaviors of the supporting analog circuitry, including magnetic saturation in the anti-alias filter, evolving modulation produced by the components of the time, and an altered triangle LFO shape. The SDE-3 brings the authentic vibe of this classic delay to a pedalboard-friendly BOSS compact, enhanced with innovative creative features for every musical style.

Offset Magic

Along with reproducing the SDE-3000’s famous mono sound, the SDE-3 includes a powerful Offset feature to create interesting tones with two simultaneous delays. With one simple control, you can instantly add a second delay to the primary delay for a wealth of mono and stereo colors.

Doubled DelaysTurning the Offset knob up to its center position introduces a second delay thats 1100 ms longer than the primary delay. For example, if the primary delay is 400 ms and the Offset is 10 ms, the second delays time is 410 ms. Coupled with the SDE-3s time, feedback, and highly adjustable modulation controls, you can craft deep delay tones unavailable with typical delay pedals.

Timed Dual DelaysIn the second half of its range, the Offset knob produces a shorter second delay thats based on the primary delay time. Use the pedals tap tempo function to determine the quarter-note value for the primary delay. Next, turn the knob to sweep the second delays time between eighth-note and dotted-eighth subdivisions. This lets you introduce a variety of rhythmic effects that sync with your music.
