I don't work at Electrical but I have recorded there, and yes they have custom made Eventide delays. I think one in each studio. These delays have the Electrical E on them as well as the Eventide logo. I heard they were one-offs. They are certainly not the 500 series module you linked to!

Hey all,Just wanted to know about the custom made stereo delay Eventide built for Electrical, I heard thru the grapevine that they had approached the facility and a plan was made to design a simple rack mounted stereo delay system which I presume was intended for basic pre delays of room microphones et al.I emailed eventide to ask about this but they denied such a thing and suggested that the staff here are probably using this:https://www.eventideaudio.com/products/ ... ay/ddl-500..and confusing it with a custom built unit.Anyways just wanting to get the facts straight, thank youBest!

Yup. My understanding is that Steve conversationally bemoaned that no one makes a simple no-feedback delay that can get down to the microsecond range. Eventide prototyped a couple of them, even silkscreening our logo on the faceplate. I think they toyed with the idea of selling/ marketing them.In each of the few places these need to work well they deliver. They are digital delays, the AD/DA conversion is really good. The interface is easy to understand and use. They're useful for phase-aligning different pickups on the same sound source (DI/ mic; multiple mics), and for delaying room mics, adding pre-delay to reverbs that don't have it, etc.We do actually have a couple of those 500-series delays they sent us for our feedback, but we don't have a 500 series rack!

Did you guys look into hunting down a T.C. Electronic 1280 delay?http://www.tcelectronic.com/tc-1280-tc-1380/

Steve showed us that same unit when I was there last year. I emailed eventide about it and they said they had no plan to put it into production.I use the TC Electronics M-One XL and that's worked fine for me, saved a preset, it doesn't go into the microseconds range, but for delaying room mics and those types of applications it works well.Eddie

Eventide profanity delays have a Precision Fixed Delay mode with 100uS steps. Electrical's unit is probably a stripped-down BD500.

I ve been looking for something that performs the same basic functions as FM Steve s Eventide unit, and this information is stunningly hard to come by. I have it narrowed down to 2 or 3 units (this is one of them), just want to make sure before I start dropping $200 here & there. Thanks!

I have an M-One and an M-One XL and both will do 1-ms increments.

I've used the M-one for this before. It takes some configuring, doesn't have the highest headroom, but works great.
