Dynamic Delay
The TC Electronic 2290 Delay is a legendary digital delay unit renowned for its pristine sound quality, extensive modulation capabilities, and intuitive user interface. Introduced in the mid-1980s, it offers up to 9.999 seconds of delay time, dynamic delay control, and multiple memory presets. Its transparent repeats, MIDI implementation, and versatile routing options have made it a staple in professional studios and on stage, favored for both guitar and studio applications.
Fender Model Guide
Automatically adapts repeat levels to playing dynamics, keeping delay out of the way during active passages while allowing echoes to bloom between phrases.
- TIME Adjusts time before first repeat is heard.
- FEEDBACK Adjusts number of delay repeats.
- MIX Adjusts level of delay effect.
- TAP DIVISION Synch delay time to the beat by selecting a subdivision of the current tempo.
- LOW CUT Adjusts low frequencies in delay repeats.
- HIGH CUT Adjusts high frequencies in delay repeats.
- THRESHOLD Adjusts minimum signal level at which delay effect is attenuated.
- ATTENUATION Adjusts amount of volume reduction applied to delay effect when input signal is above threshold.
- RELEASE Adjusts how quickly delay effect returns to full volume once input signal drops below threshold.
- MOD RATE Adjusts delay modulation speed from slow to fast.
- MOD DEPTH Adjusts delay modulation intensity from subtle to wild.
- MOD MODE Selects delay modulation function: SINE (standard sinusoidal waveform), TRI (naturally smooth triangular waveform), RAND (random wave form, useful in creative effects similar to wow and flutter in a tape echo) and TRIG (synchronizes a ramp of modulation when input signal reaches a threshold).
- SPILLOVER SWITCH Select to continue hearing delay repeats after effect has been bypassed.
