New Boss SDE-3 Dual Digital Delay

[The_Doc]

That sounds great! Very nice to hear that you like it a lot.

It’s something a bit different and I wasn’t expecting anything like it. Probably some of the best modulated delays I’ve heard.

It’s a shame on one level because it doesn’t fit with anything I’m doing with the band right now. We are booked in for a weekend recording session at the end of November and I suspect it won’t be needed unfortunately. I’ll just have to use it for my ‘solo’ project, or, in other words ‘noodling’

At least the half of my pedal collection is for "noodling" only.

Glad you're enjoying it, Doc! It does sound really great in a lot of the demos I've watched.

I thought I was probably good for delays but this has got me thinking...

Ha! Me too!
Especially in the dirt pedal department. I mostly play my dirty amps. Nearly all of these dirt pedals are for my personal enjoyment at home.

I grabbed an SDE-3, too. It's cool in mono, but has to be in stereo. The modulations and offset delay just spread across the stereo field. The reference to the Dimension effect is apt.

Sounds like a pedal that I could like a lot! Stereo chorus in the fashion of the Roland/BOSS Dimension effects is awesome. Have you tried if it is mono-compatible (using the left and right output and mix it to the middle with the pan knobs)? Most stereo chorus effects only have inverted output on one side.

I'll try that and see what happens.

Thank you!

[bigtone23]

Yeah, it has the inverted outputs. Summing the outs in mono cancels the effect. Mono out works well and does the chorus thing, just not as wide and cool sounding.

Ah, bummer! Many thanks for checking that!
