EMMA ND-1 Navigator Dual Delay

Description

By combining analog and digital technology, Emma has created a versatile and easy-to-use delay pedal that can generate both classic delay effects and unique, new delay tones. All this happens while the Navigator's hybrid circuit keeps the dry signal path 100% analog, so you avoid signal latency and digital sterility.

The delay effect is created in a specially coded DSP that allows for delay times of up to 1 second, and which can be adjusted via tap tempo and beat-split, so you can create rhythmic "multi-tap" effects. The delay is then fed back into the analog domain, where the colour, level, and feedback controls ensure that you get the extra warmth and realism that analog delays are known for. A digital modulation section gives you access to a range of optional secondary effects, so you can add tape echo "warbles" and flange to the effect and thus make it more organic.

A separate level control for the beat-split delay repeats allows you to highlight the second delay voice or turn off the main delay completely to create interesting and completely new rhythmic delay effects. You can set the beat-split to work in half, two-thirds, or three-quarter intervals relative to the primary delay, which allows for "dotted eighth" and other classic multi-tap delay sounds.

The Navigator may well be the most functional, yet user-friendly, compact delay pedal on the market. Even more important is that it simply sounds fantastic.
