Boss SDE-3 Dual Digital Delay Review

DGARDINER5 31.12.2024

While looking to link the tap tempo of a boss dd-8 to a looper rc-5 (midi in, out) and a slicer sl-2 (midi in), I discovered this new pedal which unlike the dd-8 has a midi in port. Having read the spec on the boss website I was convinced the SDE-3 was exactly what I was looking for. The pedal has far exceeded my expectations, simple to operate with a host of cool delay and stereo options.

Another outstanding pedal from boss.

Great service from Thomann.

Quality Delay, Worth the Money!

Figs 06.11.2025

I purchased this pedal 6 months ago to replace a budget delay pedal that I had been using previously. I'm probably only scratching the surface of what this pedal can actually do but I'm still very impressed with how good it sounds. I felt my budget delay pedal sounded okay on clean tones but took away a lot of oomph from distorted sounds but my distortion still sounds great with the SDE-3. Solid construction and excellent usability as you would expect from a Boss pedal. I recommend also ordering a bass plate (item 549988) if putting on a pedal board.

Best delay pedal?

Golimonkey 18.07.2025

Low noise floor, transparent buffer (not all boss delays are), tap tempo, great modulation and hi cut.

80's rack delay in a small, affordable package

Dina A 05.12.2025

I initially got this pedal after watching some reviews online, both of this and it's bigger siblings the BOSS SDE-3000D and BOSS SDE-3000EVH for experimenting with a wet/dry rig at home. And it does that, rather well. Very fun to play around with. Unfortunately I'm a living room player and two cabs takes up a lot of space, so now I use it mostly as an ordinary delay pedal and it is very good at that too. Use this instead of reverb, now.
