Great vintage delay in great condition.
From The Edge & David Gilmore To Jamaican Dub
Set your delay time and start twisting those multi-coloured knobs on the Roland SDE1000. It's a lot of fun and you will quickly get great tone results. No matter if you're after David Gilmores long, spacey lead lines, The Edge's rhythmic delay patterns or need a great delay for your dub sound system -- the SDE1000 feels at home in any kind of music.
The SDE1000 has a maximum delay time of 1500 milliseconds in x2 mode or 750 millisecond, half, in standard. Standard mode offers a higher quality of the delay times and is generally recommended but the lack of tone quality on the delays in x2 mode is still very acceptable, adn I bet most wouldn't even hear the difference.
The precise millisecond delay readout also allows for extremely short delay settings, as low as 0.1 milliseconds and with the addition of the 'phase inverter' push-button, it is easy to create any modulation effect you want; phasing, flanging, chorusing or vibrato and even metallic matrix phasing and -flanging, where the modulation rate is not moving are a breathe to dial in . . . and they sound killer!
The Edge fans should read carefully here. This is your unit to nail the Irish guitar heroes biggest 80′s hits . . . Pride, Where The Streets Have No Name, Bad -- you name them, the Roland SDE-1000 is your Dallas Schoo. For emulating the classic Korg SDD-3000 or Deluxe Memory Man deep, rich chorusing modulation, I recommend only one setting. Increase the gain a little over line-level; don't worry if the LED flashes into the red. Now turn the modulation rate all the way down, adjust depth to taste, set your delay time and you're there. I can't advise how to get to play a stadium tour but I can tell you how to get his tone without getting in trouble with your personal banker.
Dub producers and fans of general weirdness, might like to hear that increasing the feedback knob can turn the unit into self-oscillation -- a "hidden" feature many love with analogue delays and not found often with digital delays.
Another plus that not many digital delays offer, especially more modern delay modelers, are the extremely low millisecond settings to produce, in combination with the phase-inverter push-button and a witty modulation setting, these metallic flange and phase tones known from early 80's electro/synth bands such as Wire or Devo.
