Overview
Duotime is a real stereo delay pedal with independent time / sub-division & repeat knobs. In the
80's, all of the professional musicians used rack-mount effects to run stereo delay. It was the
golden era of legendary engineering like Lexicon Delta, TC 2290, Eventide H3000, and more. When
we talked to "working musicians" we found that they were looking for a great stereo delay with a
compact size and ultra-simple controls. So we discussed the absolute essential requirements and
developed the duotime Dual Delay Engine. It's ultra-musical, and easy to operate. So, let's dive-in
and experience the most versatile delay pedal ever:
Duotime offers analog delay, tape echo, digital delay, modulation delay, and verb delay.
Analog Delay (40ms~402ms) is based on the bucket-brigade device (BBD), discrete-time analog
delay. The PARAMETER tweaks your modulation depth. When LEVEL and REPEAT are at maximum,
turn down the TIME knob to zero, and experience the natural infinite feedback of the old school BBD
delay.
Tape Echo (55ms~552ms) is based on RE-201 Tape Echo algorithm with NUX Core Image
Technology. Use the PARAMETER to tweak the saturation, and feel the distorted sound decay. Just
like the real tape echo machine, when you adjust LEVEL and REPEAT to maximum, try adjusting the
TIME knob down to zero, and you will have infinite feedback and pitch shift flange.
Digi Delay (80ms~1000ms) is based on the modern digital delay algorithm with magic
compression and filter. After reviewing decades of delay algorithm evolution, we noticed musicians
were not satisfied with the mathematical digital delay sound. So we added a bit of non-digital
flavour—inspired by Strymon® and Neunaber® making the sound much more musical.
PARAMETER controls the hardness of the repeat signals, so you can feel the unique compressed
filter.
Mod. Delay (20ms~1499ms) is based on the Ibanez DML algorithm; a weird and wonderful
modulation delay. It was released in the 80's with experimental nature. We selected the most
wonderful aspects highlighting the musical time sync modulation rate, offering a simple, seamless
romantic tone.
Verb. Delay (80ms~1000ms) is the way to make your delay sound 3 dimensional. Similar to our
Atlantic Delay & Reverb, we added Shimmer into the Plate reverb algorithm. It became the iconic
sound of our NUX reverb. Inspired by Kit Tang, the famous Hong Kong studio guitarist,
Jamtrackcentral® artist, a master of different reverb parallels with different frequency bands to add
to his effect yielding an authentic 3 dimensional sound, we combined parallel digital delay, plate
reverb, and various filter shimmers to offer you an unmatched sacred atmosphere to explore.
