You can easily produce beautiful rhythmical delays.<\/p>\n<h3>The echo mode<\/h3>\n<p>The echo mode is the real insider tip.<br \/>\nActually, the echo mode is supposed to emulate a tape delay but in my honest opinion, the emulations of other delays with modulation are much better.<br \/>\nThe special thing about the echo mode of the DE-7 is, that the digital created signal must pass an analog circuit with a JRC 4580, clipping diodes and analog filters.<br \/>\nEvery repeat cuts the bass and the mids though the signal gets a marvelous midrange, slightly overdriven by the clipping diodes. A sound that gets pretty close to those of high-quality analog delays.<br \/>\nThe analog circuit is similar to the circuit of a Tubescreamer.<br \/>\nNevertheless, the signal never sounds washy and enables the guitarist to create nice rhythmical delays.<\/p>\n<h3>Modification<\/h3>\n<p>Because of many analog resistors and capacitors, the circuit of the Ibanez DE-7 can be modified easily.<br \/>\nBy removing the clipping diodes, that are parallel to the JRC 4580,placing them behind the IC and switching them against ground you will get a hard clipping similar to those of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fulltone.com\/products\/ocd-v2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fulltone OCD<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boss.info\/us\/products\/ds-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boss DS-1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the Ibanez DE-7 is only available in used condition but you can make a bargain.<br \/>\nAlthough it lacks tap tempo, it is definitively worth it to try this pedal out.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in Deutsch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1681,698,263,268,3],"tags":[392,987,983,985,64,251,988,986,982,707,984,126,206],"class_list":["post-2304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-digital-delays-pedals","category-ibanez","category-pedalboard","category-pedals","category-effektgeraete","tag-analog","tag-analog-circuit","tag-boss-ds-1","tag-clipping-diodes","tag-delay","tag-digital-delay","tag-echo","tag-echo-mode","tag-fulltone-ocd","tag-ibanez-de-7","tag-jrc-4580","tag-modification","tag-tubescreamer"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9GLlF-Ba","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4281,"url":"https:\/\/delaydude.de\/en\/eventide-rose-vs-ibanez-de7\/","url_meta":{"origin":2304,"position":0},"title":"Eventide ROSE vs. Ibanez DE7","author":"Delay Dude","date":"Wednesday November 20th, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"This is a comparison of the Eventide ROSE with the Ibanez DE7.
