SDE-3000EVH Dual Digital Delay Pedal

Product Information

The SDE-3000EVH is a stereo digital delay unit featuring two
digital delays (SDE-3000) that have been extended to stereo
specifications. It offers various input and output options,
including direct output, stereo output, and MIDI connectivity. The
unit also has a setup menu where you can configure system
parameters.

Connecting Your Equipment (Rear Panel/Side Panel)

To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down
the volume and turn off all the units before making any
connections. For detailed cabling methods and diagrams, please
refer to the SDE-3000EVH Player’s Guide.

Play Mode

The unit enters play mode after turning on the power. The
display shows the TIME/FEEDBACK/OUT/RATE/DEPTH values for the
delay, and the indicators light up to indicate the selected bank
and memory number.

Configuring the Settings of This Unit (SETUP)

The setup menu allows you to set system parameters. Here’s an
example of how to change the IN/OUT settings:

1. Press the [SETUP] button.
2. Use the display to navigate and select the desired
   parameter.
3. Press the [SETUP] (ENTER) button to confirm the selection.

Connecting MIDI and USB

Use TRS/TRS or TRS/MIDI connecting cables to connect the unit to
an external MIDI device. To connect a computer, use a USB cable
that supports USB 2.0. Avoid using USB cables designed only for
charging as they cannot transmit data.

Product Usage Instructions

Turning the Power On

1. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN jack to turn on the
   power.
2. Turn on any connected devices first, followed by your guitar
   amp and related equipment.
3. To turn off the power, follow the same order in reverse. Note
   that unsaved data will be lost when the power turns off, so save
   any important data before turning off the unit.

Remember to always turn down the volume before turning the unit
on/off to avoid any sudden loud sound.
