The BOSS SDE-3000EVH captures one of the most iconic delay sounds in rock history and puts it at your feet. Developed in partnership with EVH, this powerful dual delay pedal recreates the exact stereo delay system Eddie Van Halen used in his legendary live rig, delivering the spacious, three-dimensional sound that became a defining part of his tone.
Built around two fully featured recreations of the classic Roland SDE-3000 rack delays, the SDE-3000EVH combines authentic vintage character with modern flexibility, advanced routing options and deep control for today's guitarists.
The SDE-3000EVH is a distinctive pedal that goes beyond simply producing an effect; it fundamentally transforms your entire guitar sound.
Eddie Van Halen didn't use delay as a special effect. He used it to make his tone feel bigger, wider and more three-dimensional. That's exactly what this pedal recreates. The repeats sit behind your dry signal in a way that adds depth and movement without cluttering your playing, which is why his live sound always seemed larger than life.
The EVH presets are more than simple approximations. They're direct recreations of the actual settings used in Eddie's touring rig, and they're remarkably inspiring the moment you plug in. But even if you're not chasing Van Halen tones, the dual SDE architecture is where this pedal really shines.
Running the delays in stereo creates an enormous sense of space, while the subtle character of the original SDE-3000 circuitry adds warmth and texture that many modern digital delays simply don't have. It's polished without feeling sterile, and spacious without becoming overwhelming.
For players building sophisticated stereo, wet/dry or wet/dry/wet rigs, this is one of the most powerful delay platforms available. For everyone else, it's an opportunity to experience one of the most influential guitar sounds ever created and discover why so many players still consider the SDE-3000 part of the secret sauce behind Eddie's legendary tone.
