Suhr Discovery Analog Delay

Analog delays have long been revered for their warm, sometimes dirty and always iconic tones, but typical parts availability and circuit designs have led them to incur some limitations from time to time. Today’s pedal, the Suhr Discovery Analog Delay, has so many features and options packed into it, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more easily maneuverable and great-sounding effects unit on the planet. Of course, that’s all relative, but this one really packs a punch, and gives you more analog delay goodness then you may have known existed before…

The Discovery Analog Delay retains the tone, vibe, and creative inspiration of iconic analog delay units. This pedal, however, adds in the versatility of the most modern and expandable delay pedals available today as well. This fine analog delay is packed with 127 savable preset spaces, Tap Tempo, High/Lo cut, with every parameter mappable to an expression pedal per preset, MIDI ins and outs, and every type of parameter you could ask for.

With an intelligent Tap-Tempo that averages your last four taps, the Discovery Delay can help you really nail your tempo. Those 127 presets allow you to save your favorite sounds and settings and recall them at the drop of a hat when using the Bypass and Tap-Tempo to instantly recall your presets. The Filter Section of the Discovery gives you utmost control to shape where your delay sits in the mix of your overall sound. With the Lo-Cut and Hi-Cut knobs, you can shave off bass or treble from your repeats, taking you from thick, full delay fatness to the crisp, high-end of a dub-style echo.

The Modulation control on the Discovery allows you to capture the warble and flutter of a vintage analog delay, give you the ability to get a modern space-aged chorus, and take you all the way to classic Leslie-style speed shifts. You can even change the waveform of your modulation from Triangle, Sine and Square waves. The Discovery Analog Delay has full MIDI capabilities from things as simple as switching between your saved presets, to fitting into a complex live MIDI set-up where you need full control of every parameter.

The sounds and possibilities can be limitless when you plug in an expression pedal to the Discovery, too. All knobs can be mapped to the expression pedal with a custom sweep for each one, and a different mapping can be saved to each preset. From simply speeding up the delay time for those classic ‘tape-ramp’ tones, to getting an infinite regen/freeze sound to fill an expansive space, anything is possible here.
