Korg SDD-3000 Programmable Digital Delay Rackmount Audio Signal Processor (Johnny Colla Private Collection) (Pre-Owned)
Korg SDD-3000 Programmable Digital Delay Rackmount Audio Signal Processor (Johnny Colla Private Collection) (Pre-Owned)
The Korg SDD-3000 Programmable Digital Delay is known for its high quality and variety of features.
A digital delay is basically a device that uses digital technology to store an audio signal for a variable length of time, play it back and combine it in various ways with the original signal. It's sort of like a tape recorder, and in fact many of the most popular effects such as flanging, doubling, and echo were originally done using tape recorders. However, tape recorders present a lot of mechanical and signal degradation problems when used for effects, any they also cannot provide the kind of precise, repeatable control that is needed for best results. Analog delays were invented in order to simulate tape recorder effects with better control in a smaller package. However, noise, distortion, and high frequency response are all problems with analog delays, and long delay times with decent sound quality are next to impossible. Digital delays can provide excellent fidelity at any delay time, with even better control and flexibility.

FEATURES
- Offers a large number of versatile, high-quality effects such as flanging, doubling, chorus, vibrato, Doppler effect, slapback and echo, at the push of a button.
- Over 1 second delay range (0~1023 milliseconds) standard at full 17 kHz delay bandwidth.
- Low delay path distortion (0.03%, typical) and excellent 94 dB effect dynamic range (88 dB effect SIN ratio), without compander 'breathing' effects, through use of proprietary 13 bit audio conversion technique. Dynamic range for direct signal is 110 dB (All ratings A-weighted).
- Expanded Modulation section featuring 3 waveforms, envelope follower, and separate delay mod CB input.
A 'random' waveform is provided for highly realistic doubling and other effects. - Flexible Regeneration section, with FEEDBACK control, INVERT switch, and switchable high and low filters to create warm on metallic flanges and doubling, echoes that decay naturally, and many other unique special effects.
- Sophisticated programmer provides 9 different user-changeable programs plus manual setting. Programs may be copied and edited, temporarily or permanently.
- All major functions are fully programmable, including Delay time, Regeneration, Modulation and Effect Balance.
- Separate Program Up and Down footswitches may be used for instant effect selection, live or in the studio.
- 5 digit LED Display shows delay time setting and current program.
- HOLD mode provides indefinite repeats without any degradation of audio quality.
- Rear panel includes both Direct output and 'Sum & Difference' outputs, for rich and dramatic quasistereo doubling, flanging and chorus effects.
- Complete rear panel control inputs, including Delay Mod CV input and footswitch jacks for Effect Bypass, Hold, Program Up and Program Down.
- Input and Output jacks provided on both front and rear panels. Both inputs & front panel Output have 3 position Attenuator switches, for easy use with Instruments and in professional recording studios.
- Dimensions (W x D x H): 18.98 x 15 x 1.81 in.
- Weight: 13.23 lbs.
