Both the Lexicon PCM41 and the Roland SDE3000 are a couple of the most beloved vintage rack delays out there. You see them in a lot of W/D/W rigs.

If someone offered you a choice between a couple of PCM41s or a couple of SDE3000s which would you want?
 
I think i liked the SDE3000 a little more.. But in all honesty, i could easily live with either. They are both absolutely killer sounding delays.. Nothing else out there like them IMO.

Man.. that is soooo not right. :lol: :LOL:
The 70 not only has some fantastic verb but the unit itself, like the the 42, has its own tone thing happening. The SDE is real cool too, but I think the 70 is a little more versatile. More bang for the buck kinda thing :thumbsup:
 
Kinda got off topic here. This thread was about the SDE3000 and the PCM41/42 (not the PCM70) -- that was a separate thread started by me a few days ago. In this thread I wanted to explore the sonic differences between the two delays. I have a SDE3000 and love it, but I'm trying to decide if I want to just buy another SDE3000, or sell it and buy a couple of PCM41s (or I guess I could just buy a PCM41 and have one of each!). I guess it'll sound killer anyway you look at it.
