Delay Models

Featured in the M13 Stompbox Modeler & DL4 Delay Modeler
Tube Echo Based on* Maestro EP-1. Some say the holy grail of delay. Like PB&J.tubes and tape is one great combination!
Tape Echo Based on* the Maestro EP-3 Echoplex. The EP-3 used transistors instead of tubes for the sound electronics.
Multi Head Based on* the Roland RE-101 Space Echo. This model emulates the multiple playback heads of the original for that multi-tap delay effect.
Analog Delay Based on* the Boss DM2 Analog Delay. Treasured for its warm, distorted delays only a bucket brigade delay can produce!
Analog W/MOD Heres a model based on* the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man, which is an analog delay with chorus.
Sweep Echo Take the tone of the Tube Echo and add a sweeping effect to the repeats to give you unique textures for adjusting the tone of your delays.
Lo Res Delay Early digital delay units generally had only 8 bit resolution. Low bit resolution can create a unique sort of grunge and noise.
Digital Delay This model is a straight up digital delay with bass and treble tone controls. Nothing fancy here, just transparent pristine echo-cho-cho-cho.

This side

..nope here!

.no here

.here.here

modulate

Analog W/MOD Choose this model to add a chorus effect to your digital delays.
Stereo Delay Heres the secret to the Big L.A. Solo sound of the 80s. Set one side as a fast echo with many repeats, and the other as a slow delay with just a few repeats. Voil, youre famous!
Ping Pong This effect has two separate channels of delay, with the output of each channel flowing into the other, going back and forth like a game of ping pong.

Reverse !seltaeB eht dna xirdneH imiJ ekil tsuJ Take a step back in time. Whatever you play in comes back out at you backwards, delayed by the time you set (up to 2 seconds).

Dynamic Delay Made popular by the T.C. Electronic 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay. While you play, the Dynamic Delay keeps the volume of the echoes turned down, so that the echoes dont overwhelm what youre doing.
Auto-Volume Delay This model gives you two effects in one. A volume fadein swell used for a bowing effect. The other effect is an echo, complete with tape-style wow and flutter modulation.
Echo Platter Based on* the Binson EchoRec. A staple for the likes of Pink Floyd. Rather than using tape, the EchoRec used a magnetic platter to record and play back. (This Model is actually not available in DL4, but comes from our Echo Pro rack unit.)
Note that you can duplicate DL4s Rhythmic Delay feature by setting tap tempo to your choice of note valuesand you get to do that with any Delay Model!
