This compact pedal provides a digital delay effect with outstanding quality equivalent to that of a dedicated rackmount delay unit, all with simple stompbox-style control.
The Maestro Discoverer Delay is a modern analog delay pedal that proudly utilizes legendary analog bucket brigade device (BBD) technology to deliver classic, warm, and inviting delay sounds. The intuitive 3-knob control layout lets users quickly dial up the length of the Delay time (with a range from 20 ms to 600 ms), the amount of Sustain (delay repeats), and adjust the level of the delays in the Mix. A toggle switch engages built-in modulation that applies anything from a slightly saturated, tape-like wow and flutter effect to a heavily pitch-shifted modulation effect to the delayed signal. Two internal trim pots allow the user to adjust the Rate (speed) and Width (sweep range) of the modulation. The true bypass footswitch triggers the LED lights in the bugles in the Maestro logo when it’s on, so you’ll always know when the effect is active.
The HardWire DL-8 Delay/Looper is a true delay powerhouse in a single stompbox footprint. Augment your performances with a rich and diverse palette of delays including Reverse, Modulated, Analog, Slapback, Lo Fi, and Tape. Dial in from an impressive delay range (from 15 milliseconds to 8 seconds) or Loop in true stereo for up to 20 seconds. And the built-in Tap Tempo function and Tails on/off switch feature will make the DL-8 at home on any pedalboard. As with all HardWire pedals, the DL-8 is crafted from premium all-metal components to perform night after night, tour after tour.
The DL4 includes everything in the original DL4 Delay Modeler, while introducing 15 new delays drawn from our HX® family of amp and effects processors and both 4-Switch and 1-Switch loopers with up to 240 seconds of record time (expandable to several hours using an optional microSD card). There's also an XLR microphone input, MIDI In and Out/Thru connectors, heavy duty footswitches, three bypass options, and a jack for connecting an optional expression pedal or two additional footswitches. The DL4 is also smaller and lighter than the original, making it an even more appealing choice for modern musicians.
