Evolution of BOSS Delay Technology

[@ScienceofLoud]

Roland/Boss have been making delay effects since the 1970s, adopting every advancement in technology - Tape Echoes, Analog Bucket Brigade, and a progression of Digital Delays - culminating in the SDE-3 Dual Digital Delay; a perfect blend of modern digital technology and historic delay tones.

I recently went to my music shop because I needed a compact reverb pedal. They didnt have any but had a bunch of delay pedals. I spent the next 15 minutes making jokes about delay pedals. When I left I said goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye with a fade out while walking away. Guy didnt laugh ! I'll keep telling this story until a musician laughs. Thank you Colin for these videos, I'm glad you keep the level of quality this high through the years, it's truly inspiring ❤

[@ScienceofLoud]

I hate to admit it, but that did make me laugh. Thanks for your kind words, my friend!

[@ErickvdK]

Hi there, mr Tchiks, eagerly awaiting more of your fine content, please...😊

[@TheNino37]

Is it possible to see a Science of Loud/Tchiks Guitars crossover video?! I subscribe to both your channels - your channels - channels (Reverb).

[@MEGAMIGA]

😆😆😆😁

[@k.l.graham5860]

Boss: "Colin. We'd like you to review the SDE-3." Colin: "Well. It all started in 1974."

[@revolead]

The reason I am a Patreon to your channel, of all the guitar nerd and gear channels, is because you always present things with an interesting, expanded POV. Everyone else just demoed the SDE-3. Some compared it to its big brother. You gave us mini history lesson that gives us all a better appreciation for what it's doing and why.

[@Tim-Eh]

Criminally under-subscribed channel. Keep up the amazing work.

[@xdoctorblindx]

And criminally under-recommended by the algorithm! I almost never get Colin’s videos in my feed, despite being subscribed and always liking his videos.

[@pvolt7]

Boss really is incredible. Always there for you

[@JasonViator]

I'm just glad you're back mate! Loved seeing you return and saw you on Cassidy's cast! Stay safe brother!

[@RiffMusic1970]

I like two more repeats.

[@JHKNVY02]

This may be the greatest pedal video on the internet. Great work, love the detail, research and methodology. I had never really understood the Boss lineage or relationship before. Fantastic! I was not aware of the SDE pedal, but it sounds fantastic!

[@jaibandroide]

the pedal is cool but whats cooler is the story behind it, great vid!

[@concretebadger]

Excellent vid. I clicked on it to hear about the new SDE-3, but stayed for the history lesson 😁 Boss really do make great delays...my personal fave is the lo-fi and quirky PS-2, which somehow manages to be both a pitch shifter/octave pedal AND a delay that doesn't sound like any other that I've heard (digital or analogue). I had no idea that their first rackmount delay unit was so versatile though! It blows my mind that they made such a modern-looking (and -sounding) thing way back then.

[@gcvrsa]

I love how the inspiration songs of every one of the play-out is immediately identifiable despite not actually being played the same as the originals.

[@jesselambert7233]

My favourite guitar channel

[@andrewmorgan1640]

A family tree of gear always gets me going. Great video Colin! Nice diverse range of riffs in the demo. Hope you’re well and not sober.

[@tankthebiker]

Thanks for the deep dive on Delay! This was great!

[@TheOligoclonalBand]

Very interesting video! The Dual algorithm in my DD-500 is among my most used. Thanks for the journey into delay history!

[@AT-27182]

Thank you for this wonderful presentation on this interesting subject. Best wishes.

[@SimonFlex]

Interesting and educational (greets from Belgium)

[@liamcristello2591]

Awesome breakdown, “bucket brigade” is a term I’d heard many times but didn’t really understand before now. Love the diagrams and graphics!

[@mikomusic1]

Love the visuals, great video 🤟

[@frankiechan9651]

Thanks for the history - and now I finally understand what a bucket brigade is and how it functions.

[@SpencerPhreak]

Guitar Delays: Everything You Need To Know But Afraid To Ask!😂 Great video! And congrats, I saw on Facebook that BOSS shared this video

[@cet777]

What a great and informative video! Thanks Colin! 🤘🏼😎

[@PedalPlayhouse]

I enjoyed every minute of this, my first delay was as a boss DM2w and since its custom switch broke I’ve held on to it trying to get it repaired at some point. No landfill because I’m a sentimental pedal lover with some of them. Hearing the history and also the focus on both the tape and rack mount versions with boss reapproaching to add in the features they once failed to do in moving to the pedal enclosure version in this latest release. I was already tempted to look into getting this one but with a further understanding of why it’s significant i definitely plan to get one..the offset and ping pong possibilities sounded fun. I can do something similar with delay control in the Strymon Dig but unlike Strymon this has stereo in and outs and not mono in stereo out 😩 Stellar as always ❤ 🙌

[@Bob-of-Zoid]

I never owned a tape echo, but did get to play through one a few times, and it was fun!😅 Playing along with it's timing, since it's nearly impossible for you to tweak its timing with you or a metronome, and where with many repeats you can hear it wander off.🧐 Now when you to it, and you hear it wandering off, it's you, not it, and you need to hone your timing, which it helps with.🤓 I got a Boss DD-4 or higher (don't remember) in the late 80's or early 90's, and it became part of my sound! I wouldn't leave home without it, but It just died one day and I couldn't find what went wrong !😢 I mean shy of using an oscilloscope and other more serious equipment than what I had, or de-soldering a bunch of tiny parts to check them individually on a multimeter (they were one of the first to use surface mount components) I could only guess that it was probably the Controller, and that chip was rotated 45° and had even more contacts if I remember correctly and more and smaller parts altogether!😮More and smaller parts for more features, stereo outputs, and more delay time (more memory chips).🤔 Thankfully I have even better in my DAW now, and can do even wilder shit!🤯And besides the usual drive, distortion, I love paring delay with a flanger. When you put the flangers rise and fall wave timing at equal beat division of the delay, it starts getting really cool, and in unequal ones you get polyrhythmic background weirdness! 😳 I like that!😬🥳🥳🥳

[@alanale]

My fav is the space echo, it sounds like so many of my fav songs

[@JuddLofthouse]

Excellent video I tip my hat sir 👍

[@KelticKabukiGirl]

I am so happy that you played a Cyndi Lauper riff!!!!!

[@OutstandingBill1]

Great graphics!

[@diabeticmonkey]

I didn't know that pedal was released, and now I need one to go alongside my DM-2W.

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@wadesummers4102]

Still have my SDE-1000 that I purchased used in 1986 or 1987. I break it out every once and a while. Never did looked into the difference between the 1000 and the 3000. My go to DD now is the DD-200.

[@andersjjensen]

Came for the nerdy tech talks.... stayed for Collin's shreds at the end!

[@clarkerobertson2764]

I still use a DM2 for slapback, they are a fantastic delay!

[@drewmcdowell1622]

The SDE-3 does what I wanted the DD-8 to do in stereo

[@Apprentice_of_the_Leonine]

What specifically? Panning? The DD-8 has a secret panning mode. Power it on, then press and hold down the footswitch, and insert a cable into input B. The LED will change color to orange, and then put the mode switch on Loop, tap the footswitch, and panning mode is active for all delay types now. Also, be sure to unplug the cable from input B when you're done.

[@drewmcdowell1622]

@@Apprentice_of_the_Leonine I"m familiar with the modes, but dont want ping pong only, I want more offset. I actually want 2 different delays for right and left, similar to a White Tape and was considering the halo, but i currently use a re-2 into a dd-8, always on with a boss dual expression to bring up the mix. The sde-3 would do close enough for me with the space and reliability.

[@mypal1990]

My very first delay was the DD-5 for a few years. Then I found a lot of tap tempo analog delays since that was the sound i am still looking for. But that doesnt mean the DD series doesn't have a place in my heart in my rig.

[@D.Leikert-h9l]

This feels Like an Episode of the JHS Show 😊 That's meant as a big compliment 👍

[@ItsMeDudi]

I don't know if this is enough for one video but here's one TATA question What is the Wattage of speaker, how does it add up or subtracts when you connect them in parallel or series? This question was bothering me when it comes to understanding the cabinets

[@j.jester7821]

I think the DD-2 sounds best of all of them.

[@Sagerydian]

What a hestoray!!!

[@TheCrimsonIdol987]

I should watch this video again.... again.... again....

[@obiwanjacobi]

[@zac8331]

Thanks

[@shanemcconnell1736]

I am no offense, but my eyes quickly fell upon the tape delay , which you put last in line

[@tonyevans9999]

Once again to my great sorrow, the amazing DM100 is overlooked...... sad face. Marrying the inconvenience of bulkiness and mains only power with a seriously addictive bbd character, it has no equal.

[@joshuabarron8535]

Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool...

[@sixstringtv1]

I thoroughly enjoyed being played out

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Have you tried the Ogre Kronomaster delay?

[@k.l.graham5860]

I have yet to see a review that shows the high cut do anything meaningful. I feel like the Avalanche Run is the only delay pedal with a truly usable tone control.

[@bimscutney1242]

They should make a Gandalf Delay.

[@NoelHaven]

I feel slow… was there a rebranding of the channel or did I pass thru another stage of the matrix?

[@BrianGreenGoogle]

GD - can this dude can write a dramatic intro or what?

[@TheNino37]

For the algorithm!

[@Manley156]

Feel like Delays really haven't had any audible crazy change since the 80s rack era. Not its just taste

[@jemwand2530]

Questions that are far too embarrasing to ask. How the hell do you dial in a guitar anp? I have always favoured the neck pickup on my strat, therefore have dialed my amp tone in from this starting point. The result of which being a bridge pickup slightly akin to an icepick through both ears. I know that I have already answered the question but please Colin, bring the science of not being a fuquit to bear and give us the definitive version of how not to make your ears weep pus. I thank you in advance .

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Cindy Lauper....?

[@Nightwinflyer]

This is not helping me try not to buy the Boss DM-101 which is $200 off right now.

[@andywitch666]

I just gave you the 888th like on this video, 888 the number of the obese !..! !..!

[@Cacophaton]

I love the scottish accent

[@andrew6889-p5c]

I think you only uploaded the start of the video

[@ScienceofLoud]

I think you might want to look again - what you are seeing is a Trailer for the full video which Premieres in 3 hours. All of that information should be on screen.

[@D.Leikert-h9l]

It is 👍​@@ScienceofLoud

[@andrew6889-p5c]

Oh sorry. My bad. You are good.
