Nice work, as always Leon!

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks for designing my ideal BOSS delay pedal :p

[@Mossy5150]

Always nice to get an atta-boy from the Boss

[@sharp9music98]

@LeonTodd demo vids are causing my savings to be drained. Great work @BOSSinfoglobal !🤘🏻🎸🍻

[@dddd717]

Now can you see about a Waze craft fz2??? The prices for these are so high…I really appreciate what yall did for the hm2. Yall still make some of the best pedals and can be found all over the world 👍🏽

What a home run from Boss, this is perfect. This might push my beloved TimeFactor off my small board... Great demo, tones and playing as always Leon, and props for the Cold Sweat riff !

[@adamcone6856]

Your chug tone is perfect. Hits just right with that percussive punch. Cool pedal!

[@javiercabrera3517]

Sounds awesome!! Love the modulation on this one. Great playing from you of course!

[@whoguy4231]

That delay sounds magical ... nice, full and musical ... but that's gotta be the Best sounding PRS on KZbin. Cheers Leon

[@peterbenecz8410]

You are quickly becoming my favorite KZbin guitar gear demonstrator. No long intros , no nonsense, no bullshit. Just right to the point!

[@LeonTodd]

Cheers mate!

[@Haciendamann]

Hey Leon, I really like your demos for you are not as pretentious as others, you dig deep with "comprehensive ease" and sport one of the greatest basic tones out there: Please keep up the outstanding work!

[@LeonTodd]

I appreciate your appreciation!

[@TheodoreGuitarLove]

Great demo and great playing as always, thank you Leon. Many guitarists have made demos of this pedal, but i think that you have the best, because you are showing everything that it does and play it with distortion too. I'll buy this pedal because of your demo and because you played what i want to hear from this Boss Delay. Excellent work for one more time Leon!!!!

[@lodrezzon]

So much time just playing, rather than taking. Brilliant video!

[@AnthonyBullock1968]

Boss are knocking it out of the park with super useful pedals. And releasing pedal versions of cool gear.

[@browndarrin6083]

Your tone is incredible... this review has me sold on the SDE 3

I'm at 3:09 and getting huge Lynch Mob vibes - love it What a great demo, and great to see you so obviously enjoying yourself too!

[@LeonTodd]

Totally, that was the inspiration!

[@philgraves4998]

[@rutger4131]

Great no-nonsensified version of the SDE. No menu diving, no secondary functions, not fuzzing over the exact ratio of the delay lines. Just plug it in and GOOOO. Suddenly I'm not so sure if I need a rack unit. Reasonably competitive price point too.

[@JPMonstie]

Yeah, the SDE3000 units seem to drop in sales and hence price, so this guy needed to be in proportion price-wise I suspect. Still, new Boss pedals in Aus are usually a bit high, so I’l probably wait until the end of the year to pick one up.

[@rutger4131]

@@JPMonstie I just missed out the Thomann anniversary blow out. Could've gotten a SDE3000 for about €200 if I hadn't procrastinated.

[@danjack-son4871]

Man! Boss is nailing it. Thank you, Leon.

[@DigitalRackGear]

Classy performance Leon. You did a great job showcasing this pedal as a 'must-have' for any pedalboard. Boss really do make it hard for even boutique manufacturers to compete with their innovative and easy to dial-in products. And because it's Boss, they're bulletproof.

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks! It's hard to argue with the Boss reputation.

[@sylvanushardiyanto]

Great pedal with a great review! Thank you Leon!

[@LeonTodd]

My pleasure!

[@MacawAviculture]

Great video Leon! Without all the unnecessary complexity of the Boss SDE-3000EVH, this pedal easily helps create my favorite Steve Lukather guitar delay sounds, thanks for sharing your skills!

[@DenisSurette]

Sounds massive ! Great tones Leon

[@stiffmeister0hYeah]

I purchased the SDE-3 after watching your review. Now I'm going to purchase the DC-2w after your comments at 13:30 to go with my Friedman IR-J. Thank you for what you do!

[@LeonTodd]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@brianrollins7275]

Thanks for another great video Leon. That’s an awesome delay pedal from Boss. Great time to be alive and playing guitar. 🎸 ✌🏻

[@Jedidiahguitar]

This is wild. I literally just sold my 2290P due to the large size and struggled to find a good delay that had huge width like you get from the stereo delay/pan in the 2290P. Now this comes out with the delay/offset feature and mod and small! What a pedal. Great demo as always Leon. 😊

[@sytharnia1717]

great to see/hear Boss is still innovating and getting better after all these years of making the best pedals

[@peterharvin2775]

Does chorus better than many dedicated chorus pedals I've heard. Impressively flexible.

[@None888.]

Hey finally caught up with those beautiful lush cleans Leon.. 😊

[@DPG-Guitar]

Great demo and playing. Can't go wrong with Boss pedals, top sounding, reliable and built like a tank.

[@ToneOFTheGods]

Fantastic Delay Indeed. Boss are a great company. Nice to have this pedal at the end of the pedal board to use the stereo out function if you choose to have two amps, like one big main amp, and a smaller second amp just to have the delay spread taking place. nice

[@walterschock1270]

Fantastic played - melodic hard rock soul 100%!

[@Place_to_keep_videos]

Boss’s corporate strategy “Own the Time based pedal market” and “A Drive pedal for every style”. This is similar to Fender’s approach in the 2000’s. You can have any guitar you want, as long as it’s a Fender. Can’t wait to get this pedal and use it in a big venue.

[@compucorder64]

They're doing great with the delays. Boss DM-101 is my favourite delay and Boss pedal. And also with chorus, which they do best (love DC-2W, also the CE-2W). With reverb, they're decent. But still well behind the best of the competition, since Strymon, GFI, Walrus, Empress, OTO, Death by Audio, Meris. The BD-2W is still pretty much my goto drive pedal. Combine is with a flexible Tubescreamer-type, like Plumes, or a Klon-type like Wampler Tumnus and it covers me. The Boss FZ is a good fuzz, but again, I don't think it's up there with the very best. Even more so with Distortions. I'd definitely take a Rat or DOD 250 over a Boss Distortion like a DS-1, was never a big fan.

[@Allan-g5q]

You're putting them out faster than i can keep up with Leon.. slow that hand down..lol 😊..your delay is great for your signature sounds tonight mate ...Boss pedals are pure Bliss and this one is no exception.❤ Way cool mate

[@OwenVickersGuitar]

That pedal sounds so good! And great demoing, as always Leon 😁

[@LeonTodd]

I love it!

[@carlroberge7535]

Wow! Definitely gonna have to check this one out! Great playing as always! The chorus is super lush and worth the pedal alone

[@LeonTodd]

One can never have too many delays

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

I guess it's my 6th Boss delay, as well, if you count the DM-2w. I also have a DD-3, DD-3 Keely Mod, DD-5 and DD-20.

[@Lee_B77]

@@scramblesthedeathdealer I definitely count the analogue delays too. Mine are the DD-3T, DD-5, DD-8, DM-2W and RE-2 Space Echo. I did own a MIJ DD-3 but unfortunately it was stolen with a few other pedals a few years back. But I really like the added Tap Tempo on the 3T.

Leon is a terrible cook. 😎 Always sets his grease on fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SPQRTempus]

The sound you came up with at 8:34 reminded me of EVH's tone on OU812 just with a LOT more gain.

[@phillamoore157]

It's a side-point, but I really like the tone Leon has dialed in here. Very mid-focused, punchy, and didn't use to much gain (all of which are huge issues with KZbin gear demos'). That said, Boss doesn't seem to have the ability to make a bad delay pedal. I have a Collider, and while it sounds stellar (as it should for the price), it's also more trouble than it's worth, half the time. I'm spoiled when it comes to old-school pedals, like Boss, because IMO you don't really need reverb with a really good, well dialed in transparent, delay. Boss got it right with the DD-8 where they added the option of just a touch of reverb, if wanted. You don't have to go cracking open manuals, downloading drivers, separate power supplies, etc... Sometimes very good, (and simple) is good enough. Boss kills it with that, usually. That, and Leon has the sexiest earlobes on planet earth.....just sayin'.

[@LeonTodd]

Much appreciated! That's the 5150III stealth model in the Axe-Fx

[@phillamoore157]

@@LeonTodd That’s the 2nd time this week I’ve heard an amp sound better as either pedal, or in a modeler. I wish I was into all the button-pushing, or I’d probably have a Neural. All those guys are coming closer and closer (if not better) than the amps themselves, these days. UAFX ANTI, sounds killer (given I’ve never liked the Peavey 5150 (Mk 1 anyway) or in this case 5150 III….go figure. 👍

I still remember my excitement and surprise when I first discovered the result of playing my white Fender Strat (yeah ...somehow biassed by Jimi at that time) back in 1970 through a system born for singers called MEAZZI Factotum instead of my usual Fender amp .....wow ...that's when I got printed in my mind that I had to have that effect in my arsenal and .....still today....some fifty years later .... that's part of my general sound. Luckily enough along the way the systems have got smalller and smaller and they're easily portable now...even by adding a second delay on board 🙂
