Boss SDE-3000EVH Dual Digital Delay

The Boss SDE-3000EVH Dual Digital Delay is a powerful processor that combines two fully featured SDE-3000s, based on the vintage Roland rackmount delay whilst also paying homage to the guitar god himself, Eddie Van Halen.

It offers extensive connectivity to create a wet/dry/wet rig similar to Eddie's setup. It includes eight presets curated by EVH himself, featuring the precise settings from his own delay units.

This allows guitarists to enjoy the expansive spatial delay tone of the master in their setups. EVH and BOSS collaborated closely to ensure the SDE-3000EVH captures Eddie's personal delay sound authentically.

Through a thorough process of testing and feedback, both companies proudly present the finished product to guitarists worldwide, featuring exact replicas of his presets and adorned with EVH's signature stripes.

Key Features:

• Original EVH Delay Setup - Eddie Van Halen's original delay setup involved using two mono SDE-3000 units, each with distinct settings to create his signature sound. The SDE-3000EVH pedal combines two SDE-3000s into a single unit, and it also includes an EVH preset bank. This preset bank enables you to instantly load all the settings for the dual delays with just a touch, replicating Eddie's original setup.
• One Touch EVH Presets - The SDE-3000EVH pedal incorporates eight EVH presets that can be accessed through a dedicated panel switch. The first four presets are specifically tailored for a wet/dry/wet configuration, faithfully replicating the exact presets Eddie used in his live rig. The remaining four presets offer the same sounds, but they are adapted to suit a standard stereo amplifier setup.
• Enhanced for the Modern Player - The SDE-3000EVH pedal faithfully replicates almost all parameters found in the SDE-3000, utilizing a retro interface inspired by vintage hardware. It offers two selectable delay ranges, each with its own unique frequency characteristics, just like the original unit. The pedal also includes an accurate recreation of the distinctive modulation circuit. With controls for depth and rate, users can independently switch the phase of the initial delay and the delay feedback loop, influencing the modulation's behaviour. Additionally, the SDE-3000EVH provides several enhanced features such as 100 user memories, a carryover function, and more.
• Compact Design - Ideal for integrating into pre-existing pedalboard designs, the Boss SDE-3000EVH Dual Digital Delay offers enhanced versatility compared to its rackmount counterpart. It incorporates three footswitches directly on the pedal, enabling immediate control over memory selection, tap tempo, delay hold, momentary effect activation, and more. Furthermore, two control jacks allow for the connection of up to four footswitches, two expression pedals, or a GA-FC/GA-FC EX for external operation. The inclusion of TRS MIDI I/O adds to its connectivity options. With a wide range of assignable targets available, the SDE-3000EVH delivers extensive real-time control capabilities that surpass those of the original SDE-3000.
