The Iconic Vintage Digital Delay

The SDE-3000 is Roland's most famous rack digital delay. It was born in 1983, at the dawn of the digital delay era. It was used by a wide range of musicians for its high-quality delay sound with ample headroom and high versatility. It is still highly regarded today as the one and only vintage digital delay with a clear yet warm sound. The modulation effect that gives it a unique shimmering and expansive sound is another major reason why it continues to attract so many fans.

The SDE-3000D faithfully reproduces this characteristic sound, while offering even greater versatility to meet today's needs. Two stereo-compatible SDE-3000s are mounted in a floor-type enclosure for direct control. With up to 100 memories and support for MIDI and external controller expansion, the iconic sound of the SDE-3000-D can be used at will.

Vintage Digital Delay SDE-3000

The SDE-3000 is one of Roland's most famous digital delays, and has been used by many musicians since its introduction in 1983, at the dawn of the digital delay era, It was used by guitarists, keyboardists, and recording engineers in a variety of settings. The one-of-a-kind sound that blends naturally into an ensemble is a symbol of vintage digital delay, and still attracts many fans today.

The Quintessence of Charm

While most digital delays have a clear, contoured sound, the SDE-3000 delivers a softer, warmer delay sound. This iconic sound character is the result of the musical effects of the analog parts and circuit design. By meticulously reproducing the entire process, including the slight change in frequency response introduced by the head amp, the distortion caused by magnetic saturation in the low-pass filter, and the unique fluctuations caused by the parts used in the original, the SDE-3000D sounds and behaves very faithfully to the original.

Unprecedented precision in reproduction

The SDE-3000D not only sounds like the original, but even the parameters have been faithfully reproduced, allowing you to create the same sound as in the original. Even the secondary behavior of each setting has been reproduced, with the frequency response changing according to the delay time value. At the same time, improvements have been made for the modern musician. The feedback loop of the original has been recreated as an internal function. The same frequency response as the original or any EQ setting can be applied to the delay sound without the need for additional external pedals. A carry-over setting that leaves the delay sound when the effect is turned off is also supported. The memory capacity for storing created sounds has also been greatly expanded to a maximum of 100 sounds.

Beautiful modulation effects restored

The beautiful modulation effect that adds shimmer to the delay sound is an essential element of the SDE-3000. In addition to the DEPTH and RATE controls, which set the depth and speed of the oscillation, the SDE-3000 also features a phase switch function, and the shape of the LFO forms a unique triangular wave that greatly affects the beautiful modulation effect of the SDE-3000. Inverting the phase of the delay sound made the modulation effect more pronounced, and in the SDE-3000D, the shape and behavior of the LFO has been re-modeled from scratch to thoroughly reproduce the modulation effect. Furthermore, the LFO waveform can now be changed from the characteristic triangular wave to a sine wave. Of course, the SDE-3000D also features a delay phase switch and feedback phase switch, allowing you to obtain the beautiful delay sound that only the SDE-3000 can deliver.

Possibilities for sound creation surpassing the original

The SDE-3000D is equipped with two SDE-3000s with stereo inputs and outputs in a single unit, and each can be individually configured for different parameters. The flexible input/output jacks allow for a wide range of sound creation possibilities. The flexible input/output terminals support mono, stereo, and separate wet and dry outputs. It is highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of environments.

Highly versatile foot control

Compared to the rack type SDE-3000, the SDE-3000D employs a pedal type control system for easy real-time operation. The SDE-3000D can be easily integrated into a pedal board. The footswitch on the main unit allows for effect ON/OFF during performance, memory switching, TAP TEMPO, and momentary control not available on the original. It also supports MIDI input and output, making it convenient for precise setups in effect switching systems. The GA-FC is also highly expandable, allowing you to connect multiple external footswitches, expression pedals, or GA-FC foot controllers to greatly extend its controllability.
