Roland · effects unit
The Roland SDE-1000 is a 1980s rackmount digital delay prized for warm, musical repeats and simple, reliable operation. Used by Larry Carlton, it delivers clean digital delay with a slightly warm character, suited to smooth jazz, fusion and rock leads. As an early digital delay it bridges the warmth of analog with the clarity and repeat length of digital.
