RARE VINTAGE MELOS DE-1 DELAY UNIT
Vintage analogue echo using Bucket Brigade Devices (BBD) rather than later digital technology. BBD devices had a short lifespan, as digital gear took over rapidly, but are sought-after for their amazing sound.
The DE-1 is a simple one-in, one-out delay line with a balance control to mix between the dry & delayed signals and a feedback control to set the number of repeats, number of repeats. Maximum feedback gives almost continuous repeats and, like a Deltalab Effectron, sweeping the delay time pot gives pitch-changing effects for the delayed signal.
Having the delay time adjustable from minimum to maximum on a pot allows for some pretty extreme effects when feedback is used.
This unit is in amazing condition, and can be used as a guitar effect into an amp, or straight up as a send (which I had been doing). It honestly is a really fun unit to play around with and has a very unique character to its sound. Plug is 3 pin UK.
