Joe Satriani signature delay with an unusually long 5.8-second maximum time, selected in four ranges (125 ms, 250 ms, 1 s, 5.8 s) alongside Level, Time and Feedback. A Hi-Fi/Lo-Fi switch and a Modern/Vintage footswitch (which also taps tempo) move it from clean, uncoloured repeats that sit behind the dry signal to warmer, darker old-school echo.
