Enjoy the sound of a classic '80s studio delay in a compact, modern pedal with the 2290 P Dynamic Digital Delay from TC Electronic, a faithful recreation of the TC2290 rack unit. Sporting 128 presets, up to 9.999 second delay times, and all the modulation, panning, and retro aesthetics of the original, 2290 P is a delay lover's dream.
The vintage-style digital displays and button keys bring you all the way back to the 1980s, but the convenient Quick Dial Knob makes navigating settings a breeze. The 2290 P features stereo audio I/O, 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O for synchronizing your delays with external gear, and a selectable FX loop for inserting external FX into your delays. Three dedicated footswitches let you quickly engage in A/B preset selection, bank up/down seeking, and activate the unique Learn tap tempo function. You can also select a true or buffered bypass, which also enables or disables delay trails respectively. And with the 2290 desktop app and USB-C, you can dive deep into your settings.
For feedback, the signal runs through the filter again making each repeat more and more filtered, making the fade-out sound much more natural. Pair this with slow and subtle delay modulation to mimic the sound of an analog delay. Delay controls the delay time, which is also indicated visually by the Time LED. You can activate the onboard modulation engine to add some swirly magic. Finally, in the Sub.D section , you can set your delay to be a subdivision of the time you enter or tap into 2290 P.
They even imported a list of presets from the original 2290 rack unit. Via a dedicated 2290 P desktop app, you can import, export, rename, backup, restore, organize, and share presets, as well as map MIDI program changes both ways.
