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 👍🏽
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 !
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!
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!
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
Finally! No GAS after watching one of your videos! Just because I got the SDE-3000D on a deal for 20 bucks more than the SDE-3 just lately 😄 Boss is so back in 2024, as if they were even gone!
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
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. 😊
@@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.
Great playing 🎸🔥 as always....but omg 😳 that delay has to be the best i have ever heard. And some incredible dynamics i may have never heard before 💯😎👊🏻
Ooooh nice! A new sweet sounding delay from BOSS! That's epic, this could be dangerous! Last time you showed us a new BOSS pedal Leon, I ended up with the IR2 and then obsessed building a board around it😂 but still loving it.
@@LeonTodd Gotta say...the Boss Mega Distortion is the only Boss drive pedal I ever really liked...I must be an odd duck, as there's so many out there that love Boss drive pedals....
Opened for Yngwie on his Australian tour and I took notes every time he did the live echo etude - a few more decades and i might get close to how he does it!
HELL YES… 🤘🏼 Now if TC can do that with the 2290 I think I could die a happy man in delay blissfulness 😂 Great job as always brother - this has to go on my pedalboard board STAT!
This is best Boss delay I've heard since the last best Boss delay pedal they ever released 10 mins ago. Can't wait to hear what Boss will release in the next 10 minutes! 😂
I'm a bit out of touch with gear news but me and buddy have been saying "wonder if they'll do a waza sde one day"? Boss have always done pedal delay well,I still run a dd-3 and find it hard to top Not wazza obviously but man it sounds crisp❤
Great pedal. Great video. You could make a $199 guitar plugged directly into a bare bones, cheap amp sound glorious. Still want one of those pedals though.
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 🙂
I have been told those BOSS racks from the 1980's are freakin' MAGIC!!!....Does this re-issue confirm that? There is a deal on used BOSS racks in my area,...21-Band EQ, Compressor/Limiter/Noise Gate and Multi--FX... BRING BACK THE REFRIGERATOR SIZED RACK MOUNT SYSTEMS??....Could this be a new trend, the comeback of MORE vintage gear?.....From the sounds of that re-issue pedal.....MAYBE?
Fantastic Leon! Is the feedback of the short delay (introduced by the rhythmic offset) compensated to trail off at the same time as the long delay? I don't see any independent feedback control for the second voice.
*BOSS CORPORATION should have went on and dropped in a PITCH DETUNE circuit into it, that can be set to pre or post and provide a bit more fixed in functionality with the MIDI and external switch, to turn STEREO PITCH DETUNE OR DELAY ON/OFF + TAP TEMPO; and keep the same price!!! Then watch these pedals FLY OFF THE SHELF*
was not expecting this, awesome that they crammed so many features into such a small footprint, sounds killer 🙌 can also totally relate to the metal zone comment, can they refurb a metalzone into this ? asking for a friend 😄
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 UA-cam 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 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 have the EVH SDE version,that I have a love/hate relationship with..it sounds fantastic,but the menu diving and trying to remember which button brings up a particular setting..it’s a pain in the ass..but it sounds good..This one however,sounds great,it’s tiny,and NO menu’s..definitely checking this one out..
As I've always said, you have no idea how big your sound can be till you throw on a good delay. I've always had great luck with Boss delay pedals. While reverb can mimic the echo characteristics of a room or hall, they can't do much more than that. Delay is what makes your tone big.
Boss is one of the few large, well know corporate entities that I'm like "ok yeah... screw it... I'm a fanboy and absolutely love this company" 😆. They are the prime example of how companies can continue to stay relevant and even still be trail blazers after many, many decades of being in business. They do so by constantly figuring out ways to make products more relatable, easier to use, and genuinely fun. Ok Boss, now make the damn Waza Hyper Fuzz K THX BYE.
Happy Delay Day!
Super fancy delay day
Every day is delay day...
Happy delay day, day, day, day, day, day, day
Delay Day is always a Happy Day
Today's the greatest, delay I've ever known.
Nice work, as always Leon!
Thanks for designing my ideal BOSS delay pedal :p
Always nice to get an atta-boy from the Boss
@LeonTodd demo vids are causing my savings to be drained. Great work @BOSSinfoglobal !🤘🏻🎸🍻
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.

Take my Money! Boss is really hitting it out of the park these days.
This pedal must feel happy being fed with Leon's beautiful tones. Awesome playing and another great BOSS pedal!
A single 'chop' and consideration of the resultant delay VS widdly, widdly, widdly...
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.

Does chorus better than many dedicated chorus pedals I've heard. Impressively flexible.
BOSS just keeps being the boss.
If those Boss pedals had full midi, and you could program them to midi patches, they'd completely take over the market, great vid Leon !
Boss are knocking it out of the park with super useful pedals. And releasing pedal versions of cool gear.
Sounds awesome!! Love the modulation on this one. Great playing from you of course!
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!
I appreciate your appreciation!
That delay sounds magical ... nice, full and musical ... but that's gotta be the Best sounding PRS on UA-cam. Cheers Leon
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!
This and the little slicer are going to be huge fun
Now you're talking!!
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!
Totally, that was the inspiration!
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
Your chug tone is perfect. Hits just right with that percussive punch. Cool pedal!
So much time just playing, rather than taking. Brilliant video!
Great pedal with a great review! Thank you Leon!
My pleasure!
You are quickly becoming my favorite UA-cam guitar gear demonstrator. No long intros , no nonsense, no bullshit. Just right to the point!
Cheers mate!
Finally! No GAS after watching one of your videos!
Just because I got the SDE-3000D on a deal for 20 bucks more than the SDE-3 just lately 😄
Boss is so back in 2024, as if they were even gone!
I JUST got my pedalboard down to 2 Boss delays. These guys are killing me.
Thanks for another great video Leon. That’s an awesome delay pedal from Boss. Great time to be alive and playing guitar. 🎸
✌🏻
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
Great demo and playing. Can't go wrong with Boss pedals, top sounding, reliable and built like a tank.
Loved the snippet of Cold Sweat 🙂
3:05 the lick I always associate Leon with that never gets old!!! The pedal sounded great too!
I was about to ask what song that was?
Hey finally caught up with those beautiful lush cleans Leon.. 😊
Love those controls that’s exactly what we need on dual delay pedals!
Fantastic played - melodic hard rock soul 100%!
Anakin: "My digital delay has doubled since we last met, Count."
Dooku: "Good. Twice the grease, double the tone."
:p
great to see/hear Boss is still innovating and getting better after all these years of making the best pedals
Now that’s what I call a demo 🎸 A very interesting release 😊
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. 😊
I already own 5 Boss compact delays. Now I've just gone and pre-ordered number 6! Cheers for another great demo Leon! 👏🏼
One can never have too many delays
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.
@@scramblesthedeathdealer I definitely count the analogue delays too.
Mine are the DD-3T, DD-5, DD-8, DM-2W and RE-2 Space Echo.

You had me at 'Let's get started with some absolute filth' hahaha.

Great playing bro, that pedal just makes it sound better.
Thanks a lot!
Straight to lead tones love it!!!
Dude this is fn fantastic! Mind blown 🤯
Very cool, the tone at 7:23 that's how I use my delay.
Man! Boss is nailing it.
Thank you, Leon.
Great playing 🎸🔥 as always....but omg 😳 that delay has to be the best i have ever heard. And some incredible dynamics i may have never heard before 💯😎👊🏻
BOSS IS STILL THE BOSS!!!
Love the modulations
Leon is a terrible cook. 😎
Always sets his grease on fire.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ooooh nice! A new sweet sounding delay from BOSS! That's epic, this could be dangerous! Last time you showed us a new BOSS pedal Leon, I ended up with the IR2 and then obsessed building a board around it😂 but still loving it.
😉
Plenty of beautiful sounds and playing there!
That pedal sounds so good! And great demoing, as always Leon 😁
I love it!
Wow! Definitely gonna have to check this one out! Great playing as always! The chorus is super lush and worth the pedal alone
What's better than a good delay? A good delay AND chorus.
@@LeonTodd Like that 2290 chorus and flanger which are over the top!
Loving the Jake E. Lee tones - awesome!
I think a Boss IR-2, SDE-3, and RV-6 could be a really awesome compact setup
@@juliansedor7101 Agreed! I’d have to add a Ge-7 and a Boss overdrive in front of the IR-2 but a mini Boss board is the perfect idea!
Sounds massive ! Great tones Leon
Pedal sounds tremendous. All.we need is a free Leon Todd.with the pedal lol...nice video 🤘🎸🎸👏
Very cool Zakk Wylde-like chorusing going on!
Super excited for this. I’ve got every compact DD in the series. My absolute favorite.
I've got an old DM-2, DD-2 and DSD-3 and would love to complete the collection one day
@@LeonTodd my current setup I’ve got a DM-2 and DD-2. Stacking delays is the way 🤘
Crazy how similar it sounds to the boss sde-3000 Evh and regular considering how much smaller it is!
1:14 Funny. I think of the MD-2 Mega Distortion.
Low key a GREAT pedal
@@LeonTodd Gotta say...the Boss Mega Distortion is the only Boss drive pedal I ever really liked...I must be an odd duck, as there's so many out there that love Boss drive pedals....

Nice of Boss to design you a pedal for THE RIFF (3:03) 😊
😉
What is that riff?
@@PiersDeMann ua-cam.com/video/EZbInTa6NHI/v-deo.html
Please can you tell me what it is?
@@PiersDeMann @ribbonsofeuphoria5744 Heaven Above by Ragdoll (leons band). Such a killer riff. :)
oh wow wow wow, a rack in a pedal with actual dual input
Sounds great - at 2:40 I thought it sounded like the "echo etude" section of Yngwie's instructional tape. Did you have the same thought?? Haha
Opened for Yngwie on his Australian tour and I took notes every time he did the live echo etude - a few more decades and i might get close to how he does it!
That's a next-level BOSS pedal!!! 👍🏻

That's a lot of delay in such a small pedal. Pretty impressive.
Well, it definitely sounds like a digital effect, that's for damn sure.
My wallet can’t take many more delays being released this week. 😅
I'm a bit out of touch with gear news but me and buddy have been saying "wonder if they'll do a waza sde one day"?

Not wazza obviously but man it sounds crisp❤
A Waza DD2 would be cool but this covers those sounds and more
well fuck. there goes money
Now that I have gotten home from work 😳I gotta watch this video again ha 🤟🏻
Great pedal. Great video. You could make a $199 guitar plugged directly into a bare bones, cheap amp sound glorious. Still want one of those pedals though.
Thanks - sounds great. Would love to see you review the Laney "The Difference Engine" delay pedal and see what you can do with it.
That one looks super powerful!
@@LeonTodd Yeah, I love it. The tape emulation is great. If you get your hands on one, check out the preset made by Alex Hutchings.
3.03 THERE IT IS
