Boss SDE-3000D Dual Digital Delay - Launched in 1983, at the dawn of the digital effects era, the Roland SDE-3000 is a sanctified icon among fans of classic equipment. With its extremely musical character, long delay times, and the ability to store and recall presets, this rack-mounted legend became the primary delay machine for the best guitarists, musicians, and engineers of the time, and its special sound is still revered forty years later.
SDE-3000D offers you not one, but two authentic reproductions of the beloved SDE-3000 in a floor-based pedal. Fully independent delays, flexible internal routing, and extensive I/O provide modern versatility for all types of mono and stereo setups. The modulation and tone shaping capabilities have also been enhanced, and there are 100 memories for storing your preferred settings. And with a multitude of integrated and external control options, including deep MIDI support, you can integrate this vintage-inspired voice with any stage or studio setup.
