When the big guitar-era pendulum began its arc back towards using amps, cords, pedals and guitars again, the digital delays made the trip, too. And, you could have all of this with none of the sonic idiosyncrasies and limitations of a tape delay or analog pedal. Each repeat could be crafted to a precise replica of the original input sound that could continue forever.Īnd this worked well in the rack world, the units were accurate, programmable and you could have a really loooooong repeat, canyons of delay for as long as you wanted. With the advent of less expensive digital technology in the late 80s, the use of delays shifted more to rack-mounted units and digital pedals, which offered up to 1000 ms or more and a “cleaner, more accurate” delay. ![]() Now, normal analog delays can only go up to about 300 ms or just over a quarter of a second, of delay time, mostly offered in various pedal or a few rack formats. ![]() And in a world full of different delay options, it’s these units shared and disparate qualities that set them apart. Originally, this review was intended to be a comparison between the two delay units, but as the delays showed their wares, I began to feel that they were actually two separate units that shared a common function and construction.
