Precision Delay Mod L

The Extended-Time Delay Variant

Precision Delay Mod L is the Long version of Precision Delay Mod. Both use two independently timed delay lines, shared feedback and filters, and paired modulation oscillators. The distinction is available echo time: Long reaches three seconds in Dual, Crossover, and Ping Pong modes instead of one second.

This extra range is useful when slower tempos or spacious repeats exceed the standard version's limit. It requires more UAD-2 memory; it does not add extra delay lines or a different modulation engine. Chorus and Flanger use the same shorter ranges as the standard version.

From Echoes to Movement

Mode determines how signals recirculate, while the A/B delays set the rhythm. LFO waveform, speed, depth, and phase separation add motion. High-pass and low-pass filtering keep the repeats distinct from the dry source.

Set Wet Solo for a bus return, or blend with Mix on an insert. Use the per-delay input mutes for throws without stopping the existing echoes.

Delay Routing

Mode selects the feedback topology:

• Dual Delay: Each delay feeds itself.
• Crossover Delay: Each output feeds the opposite delay.
• Ping Pong: Audio enters A, then passes to B, whose feedback returns to A.
• Chorus / Flanger: Use the dual topology with shorter timing ranges suited to modulation.

Delay A/B set separate times. In this Long version, the three echo modes allow up to 3 seconds per delay; Chorus allows 125 ms and Flanger 45 ms. Switching to a shorter-range mode can discard a longer time setting.

Mute A/B stop new signal entering a delay. Link gangs the timing and mute controls while preserving an existing time offset.

Modulation

• Rate: Sets LFO speed from 0 to 30 Hz; zero disables movement.
• Depth: Sets how strongly delay time is modulated, from 0 to 100%.
• LFO: Chooses sine or triangle modulation with 0-, 90-, or 180-degree phase separation between the two oscillators.
• Sync: Locks both delay times and modulation rates to the host tempo.

Feedback and Filtering

Recirculation changes feedback strength. Positive and negative values use normal or inverted feedback polarity. Echo modes display this as T60 decay time; Chorus and Flanger use a percentage.

High Pass removes low frequencies from the wet delay input at 12 dB/octave. Low Pass removes highs at 6 dB/octave. Both cover 20 Hz to 22 kHz and have an Off position; neither filters the dry source.

Output

Pan A/B position the two wet outputs in stereo. Pan Link couples their movement for spread adjustments. In a mono-output instance these controls become independent Gain A/B instead, and cannot be linked.

Mix blends dry and wet, with negative settings reversing wet polarity. Wet Solo overrides Mix and outputs only the processed signal for an auxiliary return.

Level provides -25 to +15 dB of output adjustment. Power bypasses the processor.
