Most delay enthusiasts agree that the best analog delay pedals were made with the legendary, now discontinued Panasonic MN3005 bucket-brigade chips. This has long been a source of frustration for modern builders because of their scarcity, but this all changed in 2015 when Xvive re-issued this elusive IC.
Tonal Recall marries the beautiful vintage character of the analog delays of yesteryear while bringing modern amenities such as tap tempo, optional bypass with trails, expression control over any parameter, and the ability to save presets. Every knob and switch is connected to a little digital brain while your guitar signal stays 100% analog the entire time and never gets digitally processed. Since the control of the effect is digital, it opens up unprecedented effects and features that have never been heard or offered in analog stompboxes.
