\"TC<\/a>The TC Electronic 2290 might the most legendary digital delay ever.
\nYou can find it in countless studios and racks.
\nBut what is it that makes this device legendary? And are there adequate emulation pedals?<\/p>\n

Features<\/h3>\n

The 2290 has numerous features that are quite interesting.
\nThe backside for example offers enough space to connect effect pedals in 6 different loops.
\nThe modulation as well as the ducking effect are also pretty exciting.
\nBut to be honest, other devices too provide these features.
\nAnd modern delay pedals can do even more \u2013 emulation analog delays or tube echos for example.
\nThe 2290 rather is a one-trick-pony.<\/p>\n

But its sound is unique, clear but full, digital but not sterile.<\/p>\n

Pedals emulating the 2290<\/p>\n

You can find plentiful pedals that are oriented towards the TC Electronic 2290.
\nTC Electronic also put the Flashback<\/a> and the ND-1 Nova Delay<\/a> on the market. Both are supposed to emulate the 2290.
\nLikewise, the Free Tone Flight Time FT-1Y<\/a> and the Providence DLY-4 Chrono Delay<\/a> are aligned to the 2290.
\nAdmittedly, none of these pedals sound like the Original. And of course, there are some reasons why they are not able to do so.<\/p>\n

The Original<\/h3>\n

The original 2290 has an analog preamp with much headroom.
\nAlthough it works with only 16 bits, the signal can be booted quite intensive without overdriving.
\nThereby the sound becomes full and absolutely unique.
\nNone of the pedals offer this much headroom so the signal would overdrive quite earlier.
\nEven if the pedals are able to emulate the pure signal, because of the weaker signal the emulation will sound thinner and less vivid.<\/p>\n

The Preamp<\/h3>\n

A preamp of a high standard is the secret of many legendary delays.
\nThe Deluxe Memory Man as well as the Korg SDD 3000 (rack version) for example use superior preamps which make up a large part of the sound.
\nThe Korg SDD 3000<\/a> has also been produced as a pedal. But because of the altered preamp the sound is quite different.
\nThe recent Deluxe Memory Man 1100-TT<\/a> runs on 9V while the earlier models run on 24V. This also influences the headroom.<\/p>\n

In my opinion it\u2019s important to pay attention to the right power supply and a preamp with much headroom if TC Electronic ever wants to create the 2290 as a stompbox.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
