Electronic Audio Experiments Sending V2 Analog Delay

It’s been a while since we had a pedal from Electronic Audio Experiments here in the office, but the wait was way more than worth it. The recently released Sending V2 Analog Delay improves on the well-received first version with a myriad of sonic options, vintage tones and some modern amenities not always found in an analog delay unit. There’s a lot do dig into here, so let’s get right to it…

Sending is an analog delay that melds the archaic voice of bucket brigade devices with a fully modern toolbox of digital control. It embraces the character and idiosyncrasies of the medium while delivering high quality sound and performance-friendly features worthy of the modern musician. Using two MN3005 BBDs and comprehensive analog processing techniques, Sending can delay a sound up to a full second without clock noise, and it can be pushed to even longer times for compelling sonic degradation.

At the input is a discrete preamplifier capable of subtle enhancement or warm saturation that melds perfectly with the delay line. A dual-mode feedback filter shapes the repeats into deep pulses or dub-style bright echoes. Its flexible LFO engine can modulate the delay time to create gentle movement or musical chaos. Conducting this analog ensemble is a 32-bit, 100MHz processor granting deep user control, preset functionality, and MIDI access to every parameter.

Features:

• A unique discrete preamplifier for subtle enhancement or full-range saturation that is automatically balanced for optimal output levels at all settings.
• Trails bypass mode that allows the preamp to be used as an always-on drive.
• Dual-mode Filter control that changes the tone of the delay repeats.
• Advanced analog filtering for low noise and high bandwidth on the delay line.
• Comprehensive digital control of every function using a powerful 32-bit processor system that seamlessly integrates with the analog signal path.
• Tap tempo with subdivisions and a hold mode for feedback swells.
• Delay time LFO engine with sine, square, and triangle waves plus a unique Chaos function that modulates the delay time using a truly random Lorenz attractor.
• Insert loop to apply external effects to delay repeats within the feedback path.
• Save and recall up to 32 presets: 3 via the front panel, the rest via MIDI.
• CV/Expression input that can be mapped to one or multiple controls.
• TRS MIDI input for control changes, preset selection, and clocking.
• Web-enabled firmware updates via the MIDI jack.

You’re not gonna want to miss our demo below, we promise, as we run through the main settings, secondary controls, presets and more (be sure to look for a familiar pedal in the effects loop towards the end). At $649.00, the Sending V2 isn’t for everyone, but those who love that analog delay sound with modern options are really gonna dig it. Head to the Electronic Audio Experiments website for more info, and if you missed it years ago, be sure to read our interview with EAE’s very own John Snyder here – thanks for joining us on this wild delay adventure!
