Roland's SDD-320 does not warble or swirl like an ordinary chorus; it uses two synced bucket-brigade delay lines and a trapezoidal LFO to gently widen mono into rich, three-dimensional stereo, without the obvious movement that gives chorus away. That subtlety made it the secret weapon of the early 80s: Brian Eno, Talking Heads, Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel all reached for it, and it defined the clean guitar, piano and vocal sound of the era. Four mode buttons, combinable, and impossible to make sound bad. Universal Audio modelled it; nothing quite matches the real rack. Genuinely hard to find now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Dimension Effect:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two synced BBD delay lines and a trapezoidal LFO create width and depth without obvious chorus warble.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour Combinable Modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mode 1 is the gentlest, Mode 4 the strongest, and you can stack buttons for in-between shades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMono-to-Stereo Magic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turns a single source into a sound that fills the whole stereo field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStudio Secret Weapon:\u003c\/strong\u003e The early-80s go-to for vocals, piano and clean guitar, used by Eno, Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDead Simple:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four buttons, impossible to dial in a bad result.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro I\/O:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced XLR and jack ins and outs, switchable mono or stereo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery Quiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signal-to-noise better than 95dB for a clean, transparent effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Digital calls the SDD-320 quite possibly the greatest chorus processor ever made, the secret-weapon sweetener behind countless early-80s records. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vintagedigital.com.au\/roland-sdd-320-dimension-d-chorus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRead more at Vintage Digital\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e introduced 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e analog (BBD) stereo dimension\/chorus processor, rackmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModes:\u003c\/strong\u003e four dimension modes, individually selectable and combinable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e dual synced delay lines with trapezoidal LFO and compander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eI\/O:\u003c\/strong\u003e balanced XLR and 1\/4\" jack, in and out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation:\u003c\/strong\u003e mono or stereo (rear switch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal to noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e greater than 95dB (A-weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl:\u003c\/strong\u003e remote EFFECT\/NORMAL switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition note:\u003c\/strong\u003e vintage unit; may benefit from a service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Roland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49711511372015,"sku":"477","price":36500.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/IMG_8555.jpg?v=1780999695","url":"https:\/\/innerpieces.art\/products\/roland-sdd-320-dimension-d-the-secret-weapon-chorus-on-half-the-80s","provider":"Inner Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
