Dr. Scientist Sunny Day Delay

Digital Delay Pedal Analog character. Boutique pedal type.

I am fortunate to have the model knob here are the five roles:

[section Chorus]
Rate (controls the oscillation frequency of the chorus to the delay signal)
Depth (controls the intensity of oscillation of the chorus to the delay signal)

[section Time]
Rate (controls the time delay of the delay)
Repeats (controls the number of repetition (regeneration) of the time)
Level (controls the level of the time, turned all the way, the delay signal is as strong as your instrument)

9v power supply, negative center. Boss Style.
1 in and 1 out jack 1 / 4.
Switch a super solid.
1 Great Purple-blue LED illuminates when the effect is clearly visible and enclenché.Puissant.
Pedal True Bypass!

In terms of features, this delay everything you need to see to be very versatile. Report simplicity / opportunity is very very good!

UTILIZATION

side use, Sunny Day is very intuitive and easy to use. The knobs are of very high quality, with good strength that gives confidence, durable materials and a perfect responsiveness.

Only downside, the Depth of the Chorus knob is a little too pronounced. so that when the shows too, the modulation is much too deep which create a less conventional (but probably very useful for some who likes experimental.) So it should not be too much for a shot its most classical. (I use 8 to 11 am and it's frankly perfect) it is not less either.

SOUND QUALITY

Beautiful Sunny Day to digital technology, the sound is actually that of an analog. Dark, organic and warm wishes. The delay signal is dépourvut high frequencies and degrades with each repetition. Very, very convincing and authentic. if no one told me it was digital, I always thought it was analog. is bluffing and it sounds amazing! It has all the character of an analog! As an analog, it self-oscillates when pushing repetition maximum. (Attention to your speakers!) And the tone changes when turning the Rate during the time. It is capable of effects of drones very successful.

inside the beast found a trimpot is used to adjust the character of self-oscillation. Spell it to be aggressive or zero (and everything in between!)

However, be forewarned that, given its nature analog (So that does not restore the high frequencies), the pedal may not work with notes of very high frequency (be aware for use with keyboard only, no concern for guitarists, however, even the highest notes will be affected.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a month and am really counting. delay is simply the best I've had the chance to try and own. (The list is long: Subdecay Echobox, Line 6 DL4, Boss DD7 DD5, Trex Replica etc ...)
Initially I intended to buy an MXR Carbon Copy (which is very good) but the Sunny Day Delay was simply more versatile and better (in my opinion) And I was lucky to have him So he used the cost me the same as a Carbon copy new!. no regrets! if my SDS was stolen or broken I would not hesitate one second and would go for me to order a replacement immediately. even if the price is higher That a MXR.

Another point worthy of mention, the look of the pedal. this is not the case for all the Sunny Day, but mine is a real beauty! Blue sparkle vinyl, writing, pink and purple graphics / green / orange. It really comes out of the ordinary is really the best pedal I had. (Thanks to Tanya for Dr. Scientist at hand makes all the finishes!)

otherwise, by opening the beast, we see all sorts of amusing entries on the PCB. it's worth to be seen and this is the first time I see something like that. "Made in Space" "Dearest Customers, thank you very much" "Time-space dilationator" "space are watching you ... in a nice way ... how are you doing?" And things like It is also signed those who are designated and built inside. Mine is no.283 and date of June 2010.

In closing the service is truly remarkable! I had questions and wrote via e-mail to their address on their website and was answered the same day, the guy who designed and built my pedal! Wow! You will never see it huge market for a brand! it is simply amazing!

I use mine for synthesizers and is more than perfect! Suitable especially for guitar and also bass. no loss of tone or lacking in bass.

If you have the chance to get hold of one of these pedals, please do not hesitate one second and go for it. you can not go wrong. My first pedal and I shop now recognizes the popularity of this type of pedal. it will probably not my last pedal Dr. Scienist. Quality and product performance, service and hell simplemet Its perfect!

A delay, connectors in the back, with digital sound analog (or intended). In all cases the sound is just incredible.

UTILIZATION

Simple to use, it is regrettable that no more checks.

SOUND QUALITY

Its level is the best I know. Silky smooth, efficient, musical.

OVERALL OPINION

This review is done quickly, to say one thing:
if you find a good price, or if you simply looking for sound sick, hurry up!
Dr. Scientist is the super quality, very professional job, both technically and aesthetically ... and sound

Sold more than regret, I'll buy one of these days probably from the manufacturer.
