Korg SDD-3000 Programmable Digital Delay

The rack-mounted SDD-3000 which appeared in 1982 was a classic digital delay that dominated the world thanks to its peerless sonic character. The classic delay effect that’s central to the guitar sounds in world-class rock bands owe a great deal to the SDD-3000, which has been the driving force behind numerous famous songs over the years.

The SDD-3000 PEDAL packs all of the SDD-3000's functionality into a convenient pedal unit. Featuring a pre-amp with ample headroom, a filter circuit that modifies the feedback sound, and modulation waveforms that allow a diverse array of delay effects, it covers all of the SDD-3000's important elements. In addition to specifications that will satisfy SDD-3000 users, it provides many new functions such as eight delay types, long delay times up to 4,000 milliseconds, selectable modulation waveforms, stereo input/output, and MIDI compatibility. The user interface has also been updated for dramatically improved ease of use.

• All features of the legendary SDD-3000 digital delay, packed into a pedal unit.
• Eight distinct delay types including SDD-3000, Analog, Tape, Modern, Kosmic, Reverse, Pitch and Panning.
• The preamp that defined the sound of the SDD-3000 is faithfully reproduced.
• Selectable filters that alter the sound of the delay repeats.
• Choose from five types of modulation waveforms that modulate the delay time. You can also create waveforms that interpolate between two types, and make fine adjustments to the waveform.
• Use special sound-shaping techniques such as flanging, chorus, vibrato, doubling, and Doppler effects.
• A wide range of delay times is available, from 1 millisecond to long delays with a maximum of 4,000 milliseconds.
• Sync mode lets you specify the delay time in terms of 11 different note values ranging from whole notes to 32nd notes.
• A total of 80 programs (40 banks x 2 channels) can be saved.
• LCR function lets you create multi-tap delay effects.
• MIDI connectors are provided, allowing you to trigger program changes from an external device, or to transmit program data as a bulk dump to and from other units.
• Seamless bypass and program changes allow you to retain the reverberant sound when switching sounds.
• Reliable true bypass design
• An optional expression pedal can be used to control multiple effect parameters simultaneously

Features:

Eight different delay types give you a wide range of variety

At the core of your sound-shaping, you can choose from a total of eight delay types. In addition to the original SDD-3000 delay, there's also analog delay modeling that provides the warmth of a BBD device, a TAPE model that reproduces a tape echo, the clean MODERN delay sound, the fantasy-like KOSMIC delay which adds pitch change to the reverb sound, REVERSE which plays the delay sound backward, PITCH, which places a pitch shifter placed before the delay, and PANNING which controls the stereo position of the output. A wide range of delay effects can be produced with this single unit. In addition, there's a ducking function that lets you apply delay only when the input is at a low level.
