6.1.6.5. Analog Delay
The Analog Delay reproduces the sound of vintage solid-state units that used analog bucket
brigade circuits. As you'll recall from the explanation of the
effect, passing a
signal through many stages of bucket brigade delay not only increases the delay time, but
also degrades the signal in a way that's pleasing to the ear. While modern digital delays are
more true to the original sound, many artists feel that they lack the character of a proper
analog circuit – which is why so many guitar pedal manufacturers still make analog delay
stompboxes.
The Solina V Analog Delay operates in mono and has the following parameters:
Time
: Sets the delay time. The range is 12ms to 1000ms (1 second).
Feedback Tone
: Changes feedback filtering. Sometimes it's nice to alter the tonality of the
echoes over time, so this knob controls a filter patched into the feedback loop. If the knob is
set to 50%, no filtering occurs; if turned to the left, lowpass filtering is applied so subsequent
echoes become warmer and darker; if turned to the right, highpass filtering is applied so
subsequent echoes become brighter and thinner.
Feedback Amount
: Adjusts how much feedback from the output is sent to the input. When
Feedback is set to 0, only one repeat is heard, as in vintage "slapback" echoes. Unlike
some real analog delays, the Solina V's delay can't be set to "runaway" levels, where each
succeeding repeat is louder than the last one, until something either overloads or catches
fire.
LFO Rate
: Controls the delay time modulation rate. A sine wave LFO is available to cause tiny
pitch variations by subtly making the delay longer (dropping the pitch) and shorter (raising
the pitch). The LFO Rate can be adjusted from 0.5Hz to 10Hz.
LFO Depth
: Sets the amount of delay time modulation.
