Specifications

Bypass: True bypass with mechanical switching

Input impedance @ 1Khz: 1MΩ

Output impedance @ 1Khz: <1kΩ

Power: 9VDC, 2.1mm center negative barrel. The current draw is 250mA minimum.

We recommend a regulated, isolated power supply rated for 250mA minimum. Note that over-voltage can permanently damage the pedal.

Sending V1

Produced in a limited run of 55 units in Summer 2018. Replaced by Sending V2. This page is retained for archival purposes.

Sending was designed one goal in mind: to be the most tonally rich analog delay ever created. We upended nearly every design element of classic pedal and rackmount analog delays to create our most ambitious work to date.

Starting with a pair of MN3005 reissue Bucket Brigade Devices (BBDs), we added tap tempo and a unique, all-discrete preamp. Sending is capable of delay times from near unison to 1000 ms of clear repeats and up to two full seconds of gritty, aliased ambient wash using the tap tempo control. The gain of the preamplifier can range from transparent to a unique console-style grind that enriches your delayed tone as well as providing a significant boost to whatever amp or pedal is downstream. The powerful companding system and digitally controlled clock enhance the fidelity of the pedal beyond what was previously thought possible, while still preserving the fundamental character of an analog delay. A simple tap tempo function guarantees modern standards of control without an excess of functionality. Sending also features an FX loop which patches in after the delay line, where a TRS insert cable may be used to add additional effects to the delayed signal.

We are proud of how much we fit under the hood (as well as the hundreds of hours spent doing so) and we are excited to hear the music you make with Sending for years to come.

Controls:

  • Pre - input gain, from clean to saturated

  • Post - global master volume

  • Time - delay time, from near unison to 1000ms

  • Mix - relative levels of the original and delayed signals, from fully dry to fully wet

  • Feedback - amount of repeats, from a single echo to self-oscillation

  • Tap Tempo - press twice to set a tempo, can go far beyond the range of the Time knob

Sending also includes an FX loop which patches in after the delay line, where a TRS insert cable may be used to add additional effects to the delayed signal.
