Retro-Sonic Vintage Vibes Analog Delay - Canada

Retro-Sonic is a small Canadian boutique builder best known for faithfully reviving classic Japanese analog delay circuits, and this Vintage Vibes Analog Delay is their take on the much-loved (and long out of production) Boss DM-2, built from the ground up around the same circuit rather than a cheap clone of it.

It's a true bypass, all-analog delay running on a pair of 4096-stage bucket brigade chips for a maximum delay time of around 800ms, with genuinely quiet, hiss-free operation and none of the digital clock noise some analog delays suffer from. Controls are kept simple and musical: Delay Time, Level, Repeat and a Tone control that acts as a hi-cut filter to shape the character of the repeats, from bright and present through to warm and dark. A second footswitch lets you flick between short and long delay ranges (roughly 400ms and 800ms) on the fly, in addition to the primary true bypass effect switch. It's housed in a solid die-cast enclosure.

The pedal presents in good, honest used condition with general playwear consistent with regular use, fully functional.
