Natural digital/analog delay with vintage tone and hand-wired quality.
The Hand Wired Deep Blue Delay is kept small containing just the basic delay features; Delay Time, Delay Level and Repeat controls. It was designed to work as an ambience delay; like that of a vintage tape echo and the repeat formation was specifically designed to allow easy setting and less critical setting of delay time. With delay times higher than 120ms, the delay time is sometimes set on the beat or on a multiple of the beat. Deep blue handles this by not giving full range repeats, but a tuned response that don't need to be on the beat to sound good.
Why digital? Isn't Analog better for a solid-state solution?
Well, in many ways, the delay medium is less critical and it could be an oil-drum, tape, metal-thread, analog BBD or digital, but the final sound is always set by the limitations of the delay medium and the peripheral circuitry needed to make either work. Mad Professor chose Digital construction to make it compact, stable, with reasonable delay time and virtually service free, where the limitations of the circuit would be less critical. As an outcome, you can set the peripheral circuitry with desired bandwidth and distortion levels with less consideration on the exact limits of the delay medium, while of course always pushing the limits, as with anything musical.
A similar circuit in analog form would be excessively more expensive to make. For the same performance, it would require three to four of the best BBD chips now only available as vintage parts and the size of the pedal would have to be about three times the current size.
Features
- Hand wired
- Controls
- Level: Sets the level of delayed signal mixed with straight guitar tone, fully counter clockwise there is only straight (un-effected) guitar signal heard and fully clockwise gives the loudest delay.
- Delay: Controls the delay time from 25ms (fully counter clockwise) to 450ms (fully clockwise)
- Repeat: Controls the repeats of the delay signal, fully counter clockwise gives one repeat and at fully clockwise you get infinite feedback.
Built the Mad Professor way: small footprint and big tone.
