Korg SDD-1000 - 80s Vintage Digital Delay Rack Unit 230V - Chorus / Modulation

Vintage Korg SDD-1000 Digital Delay

!!!PLEASE READ UPDATED DESCRIPTION!!!

A legendary early rack delay from Korg with classic vintage digital character, modulation, hold function, and unique lo-fi textures that work great for guitar, synths, drum machines, studio processing, ambient, post-punk, shoegaze, and experimental sounds.

This unit is the factory 230V European version.

Condition:
Cosmetically, it shows clear signs of age and studio/rack use. There are scratches, paint wear, and rack rash as shown in the photos. Please review all pictures carefully.

• A couple of knobs/buttons are missing
• Cosmetic wear throughout from normal age/use
• The rack casing is slightly dented on the top (see photos)
• One rack ear is slightly bent

After testing, the unit shows a few minor irregularities and is 99% functional. Below are the issues that were found.

• The Modulation Intensity control is finicky. Sometimes it requires a little wiggle to get it to respond. But once it does... it sounds glorious.
• The sweep of the Intensity control seems very extreme and the modulation effect comes on strongly at about 1 on the control knob. Maybe this is normal for this unit?
• We were not able to test the Trig/Overdub, Sequencer or Sampling functionality. Rec/Hold function works as intended.
• Sold as-is in 99% working condition and exactly as described/pictured

If you are looking for a dependable, touring unit this is NOT for you. However, for home and studio use it is a perfect way to get the Korg SDD sound at a fraction of the price of other units.

Because this is a vintage electronic unit, it is sold as-is and as described due to age.
