SDE v DiG v Rose - Rack Delay Tones From Pedals?

[@LeonTodd]

Which one are you DIGging the most? *I'll show myself out*

[@antioche6276]

Don't go DIGging yourself into a hole now Leon

[@MiamiTabor]

I lean towards the rack, butttt.......... it’s all cool!

[@RyanMaziarz]

Thanks so much for doing this - great to hear how close the DIG is! With the secondary function tweaks I'm sure you could nail it dead on.

[@McLeanAB88]

I'm a proud (and new) owner of the Eventide Rose (and Blackhole). You are spot on... so fun to play with and totally goes in interesting directions with the filter and modulation. It does remind of the Lexicon PCM 42 in the sound quality.... not sure why, but it's hard to pry myself away from the unit! Love it... the Blackhole is similar in set up and "play" ability.... from subtle to gross...

[@seventhsealhere]

Loving the Dig and the new intro! Can never have too many delay vids! Great in the loop of a high gain amp with the mix down low for a reverb effect. 👍

[@LeonTodd]

Wait until you hear the next PCM81 vid!

[@DoNoise]

Rose is amazing. One of my favorite delay pedals. It’s the one of the best sounding delays with drive and fuzz pedals. Doesn’t get too washy or overbearing if you don’t want it to while still being deep and present. It also becomes much more versatile when you connect an external dual or triple switch. Great piece of gear.

[@LeonTodd]

Agreed! It's such a sleeper because it's not stereo but it's an inspiration machine

[@stevensrp2music985]

You always have such nice clean tones. Beautiful delays. So pristine. I’d love to see how the Digit compares. I liked unit 1 especially on the distortion tones

[@LeonTodd]

Thankyou! I've got a video lined up comparing the digit to a few other racks (SDE, Intellifex, PCM, Eclipse) which should be super fun

[@stevensrp2music985]

Can’t wait for it.

[@stevenmgyori3826]

Can't pick one, but love the Strat Today! Thanks for sharing brother and Be Well All!

[@LeonTodd]

Right on! Always think of you when i get the strat out mate

[@LeonTodd]

@@stevenmgyori3826 always!

[@Eventual420]

Always impressed how you can subdivide delays and play along with them! Second nature! 😊 Cool new intro too 👍. Thanks for being there for us LT! 💪🏼

[@LeonTodd]

My man GT delivering the goods with the intro!

[@Danthehorse]

Ah, i really wish you had done the same kind of comparison as you did with the Dig, everyone goes off into the weird stuff . It does the vanilla modulated so well.

[@the5chord]

I have DIG but now I want a Rose too! Sounds great!

[@LeonTodd]

Both together is SO fun

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Man. I missed this the other day. Been so busy. Great video idea. Great video sir. Thank you yet again maestro! Cheers mate. 🤣

[@LeonTodd]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@danjack-son4871]

I used to own the Rose and sold it after over a year of owning it and totally regret that choice. I now have Rose 🌹 on order and cannot wait to have it back!!!

[@prsdave22]

Killing it with the tshirt game again, matching with the Strat 😅

[@LeonTodd]

Double mustard!

[@benstocks6260]

Yo dude, love your channel! I’m running a dig in stereo going into 2x Roses in w/d/w. Dig set to stereo ping ping and 2nd line on dotted 1/8 interval, I’ve found if you sync tap tempo across the three units, then hit 2x on just one of the Roses, you have a heavenly Lukather Circular/Pan meets Andy Timmons Halo on acid thing going on. Completely 3D swirly gooey loveliness. I’ve had a big rack with 2x pcm70s, an h3000 and 2x d1500s previously, which I moved on and regretted, but the dig/rose setup is no poor relation. If you ever get a 2nd Rose it’s well worth a play! #bringontheschmoo

[@LeonTodd]

I've thought about that a lot actually - the Rose really gets close to the iconic rack delay tone in such a convenient form factor. GAS!

[@evenstephen2000]

The Rose is one of my very favorite pedals…

[@cliftonwright7081]

I think the Roland has more percussive/dimensional repeats. The Strymon sounds great but it’s just a bit more flattened out on the leading edge of the repeat to my ears.

[@LeonTodd]

Sounds like there's a tiny bit of compression on it

[@jasonwymark8185]

Excellent, mate.. I neaded to know more about pedal delays and the werid sounds.. And which delays to go for... Cool, Thanks.

[@DoItYourselfMusician]

I use the SDE2500 in my rig because of the MIDI control. I really want to try the DIG too.

[@MKRISING75]

I’m digging the DIG and SDE I’m with you on the DIG loved the video you did on that pedal awhile back. I need to get one of those DIG’s for sure. I’m going to have to look up the difference between the SDE 1000 and SDE 3000 since those we’re King Edward’s choice of delay unit’s?!Rock on Leon 🤘

[@LeonTodd]

3000 had a longer max delay time and could store the position of mod/feedback controls. 1000 sounds the same for less money :p

[@oldnikix]

@Leon Todd: Would you say the Eventide Rose is more Hi-Fi and Ethereal sounding than the Strymon DIG (24/96)?

[@LeonTodd]

The Rose uses sample rate modulation and has an analog filter section so it has a little more grit and character than the 24/96 mode on the DiG which is very hifi.

[@markusbell4423]

Great video! Leon, can you please make a video about the Strymon Brigadier, too? That would be awesome :)

[@LeonTodd]

They look fun. Yet to try one just yet!

[@matteomarinucci8350]

Amazing video! It would be nice comparing the DIG with the Korg sdd 3000 , i own the pedal version of this One and it's the best delay i've ever heard/had

[@LeonTodd]

Oh yeah, that's the holy grail!!

[@kevinp_25]

Great video as always. Is there a reason they should sound the same though? Is the Dig modeled on the SDE? I thought Strymon usually kinda did their own thing.

[@RyanMaziarz]

The 12-bit mode is Strymon's take on the mid 80s rack delays, yeah - they have a paper about it here: www.strymon.net/dig-digital-delay-technology-white-paper

[@kevinp_25]

@@RyanMaziarz Whew that’s in depth. Didn’t read it all but I’m still seeing that it’s Strymon’s take right? I mean...we aren’t expecting it to sound absolutely identical, correct?

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah the DiG specifically aims to cop a few specific 80's rack delays. It's mighty close!

[@kevinp_25]

@@LeonTodd Ahh. Didn’t realize that. I had one a for quite a while and it was great but I eventually sold it when I got the Volante.

[@LeonTodd]

@@kevinp_25 how do you like the Volante? tempting...

[@barneychamorro]

Is the DIG an good "always on" delay to have in the FX loop on my high gain amps?

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah the dual life with low delay mix is really tasty

[@litos_mendes]

ya but the roland is like 150 used and the strymon is like 250 300 used on reverb ... nutsssss

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah some of the old rack stuff is still nice and cheap!

[@litos_mendes]

@@LeonTodd always looking for some of those racks
