Frequently Asked Questions

It allows you to run two completely independent delays simultaneously, either in series for cascading repeats or parallel for a massive, layered soundscape, opening up a wide range of sonic textures.
Empress put a lot of effort into recreating the character of classic delays, capturing the subtle imperfections and unique sonic signatures of iconic hardware – they aren't just clean digital copies.
Given the 300mA draw, it's best paired with a quality power supply that can handle the load to avoid potential noise or instability on your board.
