Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay Handwired pedale effetti

Descrizione

The Mad Professor Deep blue delay (DBD) is an authentic-sounding digital/analogue delay with a fully analogue signal path. It was inspired by vintage tape pedals, which is why its development incorporates both digital and analogue technology. To offer the same quality delay in a fully-analogue circuit, Mad Professor would need to integrate three or even four vintage Bucket Brigade chips, which would not only make the pedal three times as big, it would probably make it three times more expensive as well.

Digital comfort, analogue sound

The delays go through a fully-analogue process, which is what gives the Deep Blue Delay its vintage sound. An enormous amount of attention was paid to emulating an authentic echo, and because this pedal is not equipped with noise-reduction circuitry, the way the echoes diminish (decay) sounds as natural as possible. A big advantage of this delay is that it can be inserted anywhere in your signal chain. Regardless of how the DBD is connected; via an effects loop, an amp input or before or after a distortion pedal, the delay effect remains musical and flexible.

Operation & hand-wired

The Level, Repeat and Delay knobs speak for themselves. This delay pedal's emphasis lies in sound quality, not the ability to digitally adjust delays to the millisecond. The DBD delivers a meticulous response at higher (>120 ms) and longer delay times that can be slightly off-beat, which results in a more musical effect. In this hand-wired version, every individual contact point is soldered and scrutinised by hand, which makes Mad Professor's Hand-Wired series even more robust than their already ultra-reliable Factory pedals.
