Classic Digital Delay in a Contemporary Setting

The original TC 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay set new standards when introduced in the 80s, and while often mounted in studio racks, it was also to be found in countless guitar rigs.

A key component of many guitar sounds is a string of tasteful delay, which is just one of the things 2290 P provides. It is a time-based effect generator that - apart from delay - also offers chorus, flanger, tremolo, vibrato, phaser, panning, ducking and compression. 

And that is the essence of 2290 P: it is a faithful recreation of the original 2290, equally suited for adding delay to lead guitar tones and rhythmic patterns that can be used to build up powerful and inspirational walls of guitarscapes with or without additional modulation. In other words, 2290 P allows you to really dive in and carefully program it to meet all of your sonic ideas.

It simply evokes a distinct classic vibe from the past in a contemporary setting.

The Best and The Rest

We carefully recreated the original 2290, but we also added modern features, improved bits and pieces and expanded selected effect parameter ranges particularly with the guitar-playing experience in mind. For example, the guitar-friendly Feedback Loop for inserting additional effects to the wet signal and the option to use sub-divisions to control the Modulation block.

We also added a new dimension to the Tap-Tempo options, as the LEARN footswitch includes control per Preset (A&B), per Board (A+B) or globally. And on the MIDI control side, 2290 P digs deep and is ready to integrate with MIDI-based setups seamlessly - for example it offers four different ways to control your delay time.

Last but not least, we give you full control via the 2290 P app, and you can connect an expression pedal to control any effects parameter. In fact, not just any one parameter but any three parameters simultaneously.

Let’s dive in and take a closer look at what is under the hood of 2290 P!

Covering More Than One Base

2290 was known for its characteristic dynamic delay, but it also offered a host of modulation effects and comprehensive panning possibilities in a stereo setup. We ported all of this to 2290 P.

A key point in both cases is that you can control the delayed notes independently from the original sound. You can add modulation to the delayed notes within 2290 P, and in case you have an external pedal or effects unit that you want to use, it can be inserted in the Feedback Loop and will also only affect the delayed notes

On the panning side, you get three options: Your entire signal - including the original sound - will be affected, only the delayed notes pan between the left and right channels, or only the original signal is affected.
