I loved the way you explained this pedal. I already have the Keeley Halo, is there anything the Boss SDE-3 can offer that isn't (more or less) covered by the Halo? Great demo!
I would imagine the biggest difference between this and the Halo is that the Halo is emulating an analog delay or tape echo. That “halo” effect Andy Timmons gets came from him using 2 vintage Memory Man pedals in series. And the really warm analog delay sound of those MM pedals made it possible to have that halo effect while staying out of the way of the un-affected signal. A classic “digital delay” like this one has way more fidelity in the repeats, almost like a mirror image of the original signal. HOWEVER, given that with this pedal you can darken the repeats with the tone knob, and also add modulation, you could get it to sound very close to the Halo. But the Halo is a boutique pedal build with high quality components and unique features. This one is just a Boss pedal, which is not a diss in Boss. It’s just a fact that Boss pedals are affordable compared to others. They don’t have true bypass or analog dry-through like the Halo.
@@kevinmurtagh4996 Which means the “Just a” Boss will work forever, as they always do and the Keeley will have to go back for repairs.. (as they often do, at least the turnaround is quick)
Matt, and don't take this the wrong way, but sometimes I forget how actually damn good of a player you are!
@@X-pr8fo haha I’ll take it gratefully, thanks mate🤘😊
@@LetsPlayAll Just used to you covering simpler grunge tunes - then you whip out some Steve Vai and there it is!
@@X-pr8fo this was great fun going back over those 80s classics. Need to do some lessons for these for sure!
Learned a lot this video
@@Elido great to hear! 🤘😊
Love to hear You and Me by Moody Blues on this pedal
Every now and then I'm reminded of how good a guitar player you are Matt. Loved the Joe Satriani song ❤
@@SlowToe why thank you bud! 🤘😊
He's quality 🤟
Great video and playing as per usual.
Too bad you didn't play U2's.. well... "Bad"
One of the coolest, most delayest riffs and songs ever, imo
@@old_man_fran thanks mate! Ah nice will check that out. Maybe next time 🤘😊
Bad is most definitely U2’s best most underrated song.
My new keeley halo has turned into my all time favorite. Personally feels like it sounds much better than the boss
@@jeffb4881 I’ll have to check it out 🤘

I wonder how this compares with the MXR Joshua pedal
@@adamdavis106 not tried the mxr unfortunately
What picks are you using? Looks like James Hetfield dunlops
@@aaronfoster5060 yup Hetfield white fangs. They’re awesome!
That was a painful version of Jungle.
@@TUUK2006 I felt it too 😂
