Rate and Width trim pots . Whether your hate menu diving , or simply appreciate being able to easily adjust the various delay parameters without having to pop open the manual , this delay embodies the term user-friendly ! Like the other pedals in the line , the Discoverer Delay is true bypass in the off position , and the iconic Maestro bugles illuminate when the pedal is engaged .
THE SOUND As I hopefully demonstrated in the aforementioned FZ-M video , this pedal does a shockingly good job of capturing the essence of what I love about my vintage Echoplexes , without the noise of the motor , tape hiss and dropouts , and bulky form factor . My favorite delay pedals tend to tuck themselves in sonically speaking , so they tend to sit out of the way of your direct signal . The BBD ( bucketbrigade device ) technology makes for sweet sounding delays that tend to degrade with each successive repeat . Back in the day this was not always desirable , but with the advent of digital delays , people increasingly began to appreciate
the analog bliss these devices created .
FINAL NOTES For some worship guitar players , the lack of a dedicated tap tempo footswitch or footswitch jack will be a deal breaker . That said , if you like an ‘ always on ’ delay for a bit of wash this is a great option , especially if you dig having some modulation in the mix . While I might wish there was a stereo option , I didn ’ t miss having one in the Comet Chorus , so perhaps I ’ m not quite the stereo fanatic I believed myself to be !
