Boss SDE-3 delay dropped today

Completely correct context for this pedal imo, well done by Leon… very much feels like a rocknroll lead/solo type of pedal

Has anyone heard what the minimum delay time is? Looks really good for the price either way.

Just a question for anyone who knows...is there anything like this in the dd-200.....or dd-500?

This does seem pretty cool for the compact size....also love that it has the hold.....

Pairing this with a sy1, and a tera echo, with the latching mods I've figured out for the hold, along with the remote pedal I plan on building......this could be amazing, especially in a WDW setup ...like I am planning.

The manual claims 0-800ms. 0-1600ms in mono.

If it actually goes to 0 ms that would be great for modulation, I think thats sort of what the offset control can do also. Might be the best delay you can get for under $200.

A few nice chorus examples on this page:

Got to have this one!

 

[Whizzinby]

Me likey.

I totally want to build an all-Boss pedalboard next.

Daaaaaamnnnn, that’s a lot to pack into a single pedal!

I’m much more likely to grab a couple smaller-but-feature-packed pedals than one big pedal, like the SDE-3000 pedal.

Definitely got the right guy to demo it, too!

Oh wow, they did a deep dive on this one. Thanks.

Me too, and using a Boss pedalboard too of course.

The only thing it seems to be missing is midi, I see it has midi clock, but it would be great to have presets on this pedal. I mean, if you wanted to use it as a delay and then later as a chorus, you wont be able to do it live very quickly. Drive would be nice also, it has a little bit of a clean boost I see. But at the end of the day, you are getting a lot for your money.

Killer pedal that just nails what's needed for stereo digital delay. Would love to see them bring the offset functionality to their modelers too.

Just a question for anyone who knows...is there anything like this in the dd-200.....or dd-500?

I was coming here to post this. I recently picked up a used DD-200 (also owned the big boy SDE-3000).
And the DUAL setting does it but with no individual control over the delays - what you do to one affects both.

FTR, I think I read the 200 and 500 have the exact same engines just different levels of control and display.

I was reviewing the GT-1000 manual, which has nothing to do whatsoever with me waffling back and forth about picking one up for the fourth time (to use in 4CM), and it looks like there's something close in the "PAN" model. There's a "Tap Time" parameter which is a percentage offset for the R channel (with the L channel coming from tap tempo).

Looks like the GX-100 has the same thing too, but not the DD-200.

Cool to know, thanks @Achilles !

I have no need for this, but Boss knows delay, I approve

 

[spawnofthesith]

Now I'm going to nit pick though, why have midi sync in but no out/thru? I can't imagine that it would have been that complicated or costly to include that and the space is obviously there...

I guess just include it last in the midi temp chain is the solution, but if you're syncing a number of pedals (and your master clock is one of those pedals) to say - a synth - then instead of just one long 1/8" cable now you need two to return back to the pedalboard

Ms-3 is such a sweet damn pedal/switcher. Was my first digital/modeling thing.

That is correct. Same engine, different approach. And some different algos. 200 has Drum, I believe, and 500 doesn't, but has Vintage Digital (DD-2/SDE-3000/2000).
