BOSS SDE-3 Dual Digital Delay Pedal, SDE-3000-Inspired, Dual Delay Lines, Up to 800ms Stereo/1,600ms Mono, Tap Tempo, MIDI, Stereo I/O (SDE-3)
The BOSS SDE-3 Dual Digital Delay Pedal brings the classic sound of the legendary Roland SDE-3000 rackmount delay into a compact BOSS stompbox. It delivers warm, vintage-inspired digital delay tones with the distinctive modulation character of the original, making it ideal for guitarists looking for classic delay sounds with modern pedalboard convenience.
The SDE-3 features two parallel delay lines, allowing you to create everything from subtle doubling and thickening to rhythmic repeats, spacious stereo effects, and complex atmospheric textures. The Offset control adjusts the relative timing between the two delay lines, providing additional control over the character and rhythm of the repeats.
With up to 800ms of delay time in stereo and 1,600ms in mono, the SDE-3 offers plenty of range for everything from short slapback effects to long ambient delays. It also includes dedicated Rate and Depth controls for SDE-3000-style modulation and a Hi Cut control for shaping the high-frequency character of the repeats.
The pedal provides Standard and Pan stereo delay modes and three output modes: Stereo, Wet + Dry, and Direct Mute. Tap tempo, selectable carryover, TRS MIDI connectivity, and external footswitch or expression pedal support make the SDE-3 highly versatile for both live performance and advanced pedalboard setups.
