The Discovery is an all-analog delay designed by Kevin Suhr, built on four reissued MN3005 bucket-brigade chips, with digital control laid over the top. The repeats stay analog, while every setting can be stored in one of 127 presets and recalled from the footswitches.
Delay time runs from 40ms to 1100ms and stretches to 17ms-2000ms and beyond with the up/down and division buttons. Tap tempo averages your last four taps, with quarter, dotted-eighth, eighth-note triplet, eighth and sixteenth subdivisions. Lo-Cut and Hi-Cut knobs set where the repeats sit, from thick and full to a thin, dub-style echo, and the modulation section adds speed, depth and a choice of triangle, sine or square waves. Every knob maps to an expression pedal with its own sweep, saved per preset, and 5-pin MIDI In and Out/Thru lets it send program changes to the rest of the board.
It comes two ways, with the universal power supply or as the pedal alone. The Dark Discovery is the same circuit in a black Cerakote finish.
