SuperNova Delay?

Thought I'd start a rumor thread for a pedal that doesn't exist, the update to the Sunny Day Delay. When will it be released? How long will the delay time be? Cool modulation to the delays? Can't wait! Ryan, any comments?

Isn't it called Night Delay, with pitch shifting reverse delay and a stomp that makes Miku repeat your lines?

Haha I know and agree, I gotta get a delay pedal back in my line! *smile* I was thinking a delay would be next project and after I get the NRC/NINT molecular junction pedal into production I think that'll be the case, I'll get to focus on a delay. So you know, should have it in production by summer 2016. *ducks*
I'm still thinking Spin chip delay with 8 patches, 2+ seconds of delay time, quality control, tone control, mono, trails...

Sounds like 2015 is going to be a good year! Can't wait for the Heisenberg, time to start saving some money

Thanks Michael! I'm working on the Heisenberg over the holidays, got the pcb half finished already!

Baring any unforeseen ... delays...

Love to hear what you can do with a "quality" control on a delay. I've found three sorts of quality loss that I love
1. The crappy AD/DA in the boss dd-3. It takes the edge off the clean delay and makes it sit really well in a mix.
2. A pt-2399 beyond 600ms. I like the white noise and band width reduction as it gets pushed too hard.
3. Analogue delays. I like the way the repeats distort and lose the initial tonality and just have a lot of attack.
Sorry - just started thinking about delays... Mmmmmm

My plan with the quality setting is to futz with the Spin chip's sample rate. It uses a crystal oscillator to set the system sample rate.. in the BitQuest I use a 32k crystal and I think that gives you up to 15kHz response, plenty for a guitar pedal. What I'll do is swap in my own variable square wave that can go down to the system min, hopefully very low quality. As you lower the system sample rate you lower the maximum frequency the system can reproduce but it should sound better than just a tone control, more crappy sounding not just darker.
I love the sound of PT2399s at 1 second, a 100k delay time pot. So grungy and sputtery, it's awesome. It hurt me back in 2005/2006 when I'd send out a SDD and the recipient would insist it was broken or not working as intended or couldn't have been how it was supposed to be.. and it was! *ha*

Agreed, I love that sounds too. One of the reasons the ILFDD has been locked down on my board ever since I got it.
In fact, I've dumped all my other delays. The ILFDD plus the delay in the the BitQuest covers everything I could ever want in delay.
I'm an all Dr. Scientist delay man now!

could you have a regular spin chip delay with time/repeats/*any kind of modulation - and then have the actual time knob LFO'd from an outside source creating depth/lfo rate?
I think that would be a cool patch too! You don't get a lot of lines of code though with the Spin and the sample rate reduction takes a lot.. my goal I guess would be that each patch would have one cool effect on the repeats.
I'll experiment with modulating the Spin's sample rate with an external LFO, you can do that. I guess you could modulate a control pot too, they just want to see a voltage between 0V and 3.3V.. so many little experiments to try hey! You keep thinking 'em up, vid, and I'll plug 'em into a bread board! *smile*
I'll also experiment with having one Spin be the delay master and a second Spin being the effects master.
I don't really know how this delay pedal will go... gonna be fun finding out though!

Tis an honour, thanks Tim! I'm glad I found you guys that also appreciate 1 second PT2399 noise, I think we're a rare breed! *big smile*
