Digital Delays

Digital delay processors expanded time-based effects through precision timing, programmability and extended delay times. Emerging in the late 1970s and developing rapidly through the 1980s and 1990s, digital hardware delays became central to studio production, live sound and post production environments.

This archive includes classic and modern digital delay hardware used in professional recording. From early rack mounted processors to advanced programmable systems, digital delays provided clean repeats, modulation options and complex rhythmic processing capabilities.
