When my orig Dd3 started playing up( after 25 yrs) i got myself the wampler analouge delay , faux tape echo and a satriani vox unit. Running one or more always great ol vibes. Strymon gear always impressive but Boss just kill everytime. Great tutorial Leon.
Thanks for another detailed review! Out of the future factory and these two delays, which would you say has the best sound quality and flexibility of delay sounds?
The FF and DIG have "hi-fi" modes (no filtering, very clean repeats) that the SDE doesn't really do. If you want character delays though all 3 are great options.
Both those delays are pretty amazing, I'd be pretty happy with either, I've been loving the delays in my new katana, although I don't know if there emulations of famous boss delays?
I keep thinking, and I am told by pundits, that I need to simplify my life. Then you come along and present me with choices like this. When you have so many great choices, Gear Acquisition Syndrome turns into Gear Anxiety Syndrome. That may somehow be a good thing.
Interesting comparison, thank you. I already have a dunlop echoplex ep-103 (sometimes in fx loop, sometime in front) but I I want a digital delay in loop. The Strymon was out of my radar and I was going to buy the TC Electronic 2290P but the smaller and cheaper SDE-3 makes me doubt 🤷♂
Hey Leon! When you first added that offset in the Boss pedal, it sounded FAT!! I like that! But I'm a guy who feels like the Axe III should be able to do most anything these pedals can, if you know how (which I generally don't. I tend to do light tweaking to factory presets.) Is that offset just delaying the original delay?
I pre ordered an sde3 after your last video 😅 will replace the dd3t on the JS Jvm board.... wonder how close it is the the evh/sde3000 ? The 3000 is awesome. Will have to back to back them when the 3 arrives.
Had both a helix and strymon dig at the same time and it wasn’t even close. The strymon was just a superb and rich sounding delay. All my opinion and glad you dig your helix.
This was the video I've been waiting for, many thanks. The DIG V2 is currently on my board. I wanted a reason to buy the SDE-3 just based on looks alone, but the DIG is in another league.
I totally agree having both would be fantastic but I would get the boss first because I want the EVH SDE 3000 too because I want to do a W/D/W mini rig someday and the DIG for extra features they both sound amazing and I definitely want the Strymon BRIG too the video you did awhile back with the BRIG and a few other pedals was so inspiring. I own the Eventide micropitch and the Tricerachorus the MXR Echoplex EVH Phase 90 Friedman BE-OD so slowly but surely I’m working on my dream rig!🤟🏻
Also doing occasional Lego reviews, Todd ;) ? I happen to see a remake of some childhood nostalgia sitting there in the background. Totally cool in its own right.
I've owned and gigged with both. Both got sold. The UAFX DelVerb is where it's at for me and gets huge bonus points for also having great reverb giving me back precious pedalboard real estate.
The ultimate delay pedal is the TC Nova ND1. Its just a mini TC 2290 without all the extra stuff I don't use. Still holds up after all this time and its the best "bang for your buck" (half the price of these pedals since everyone forgot about it). Its got everything these delays have but also has the dynamic delay, reverse delay, and panned delay modes, three different very subtle modulation modes, a digital number display for the parameters, and the ability to go from tape echo, to analog, to digital delays including settings between for if you want a darker or brighter sound for each type.
Bro I have been waiting for this comparison video between these two pedals dude thanks so much for doing this! I will probably comment again after I finish the video I am only 3 minutes into but I had to say this is gonna be fn awesome 🤟🏻
