Digital Delay with an Analog Soul

Musicians have often split their perspectives on delay units into two distinct camps: analog and digital. Keywords attached to analog often include “warm, rich, organic,” while those given to digital, on the other hand, might lean toward “precise and clean”.

One of the early classics in the digital realm, however, set a standard for lush, musical delay tones that has reigned supreme for four decades, and established a sound that perfectly blends precision and character into a third realm that beautifully captures the best of both worlds. We could call this “Vintage Digital,” a third distinct realm capable of delivering the finest form of delay effect available by melding digital and analog in perfect harmony.

The key to the warm, musical sound of the SDE-3000 lies in its combination of two technologies, rendered at the top of their games: early digital processing enabled precise, high-fidelity repeats while studio-grade analog circuitry performed all the other duties essential for getting your precious signal from input to output, plus a few other next-level tech tricks to achieve some of its most beloved bonus features.
