NUX NDD-6 DUOTIME

Description

Duotime is a stereo delay pedal with independent time / sub-division & repeat knobs. In the 80’s, professional musicians often used rack-mount effects to run stereo delay. It was the golden era of legendary engineering like Lexicon Delta, TC 2290, Eventide H3000, and more.

When Nux talked to “working musicians” they found that they were looking for a great stereo delay with a compact size and ultra-simple controls. The resulting unit from Nux encompasses all the essential requirements in the form of the Duotime Dual Delay Engine.

• Analogue Delay – Based on the bucket-brigade device (BBD), discrete-time analog delay. The PARAMETER tweaks your modulation depth. When LEVEL and REPEAT are at maximum, turn down the TIME KNOB to zero, and experience the natural infinite feedback of the old school BBD delay.
• Tape Echo – (55ms~552ms) is based on RE-201 Tape Echo algorithm with NUX Core Image Technology. Use the PARAMETER to tweak the Saturation, and feel the distorted sound decay. Just like the real tape echo machine, when you adjust LEVEL and REPEAT to maximum, try adjusting the time knob down to zero, and you have infinite feedback and pitch shift flange.
• Digi Delay – (80ms~1000ms) is based on the modern digital delay algorithm with magic compression and filter. After reviewing decades of delay algorithm evolution, Nux noticed musicians were not satisfied with the mathematical digital delay sound. So, they added a bit of non-digital flavour—inspired by Strymon and Neunaber making the sound much more musical. PARAMETER controls the hardness of the repeat signals, so you can feel the unique compressed filter.
• Mod Delay – (20ms~1499ms) is based on the Ibanez DML algorithm; a weird and wonderful modulation delay. Nux selected the most wonderful aspects highlighting the musical time sync modulation rate offering a simple, seamless romantic tone.
• Verb Delay – (80ms~1000ms) is the way to make your delay sound 3 dimensional. Similar to Nux’s Atlantic Delay & Reverb, they added Shimmer into the Plate reverb algorithm. Inspired by Kit Tang, the famous Hong Kong studio guitarist, Jamtrackcentral artist, a master of different reverb parallels with different frequency bands adding to his effect to achieve an authentic, 3-dimensional sound. PARAMETER controls the Plate reverb and shimmer mix.
