The Empress Vintage Modified Superdelay isn’t your basic delay. Sure it does basic delaysounds, and it sounds better than anything else out there while doingthem. But if all you want is a simple delay, the Empress Superdelayisn’t for you. The Vintage Modified Superdelay is for musicians who want to beinspired by their pedals, not limited by them.Thanx to its very amazing Killer Sound Quality – The Signal to Noiser atio is around 105dB.

Besides the already beautiful delays that are availablefrom this awesome pedal, the new modifications will tease and pleasethe ears of all tape delay fans. The Vintage setting now has some addedmodulation that makes the repeats lush and full with a bit of warbleala Gilmour.

The Vintage Modified Superdelay is finished in stunning black with goldscript writing and labeling just to make your friends jealous. That’snot the only change though. We’ve had the Tape mode refined to give amore vintage feel to the repeats. When you’re in Tape mode there are 3different types; Basic, Vintage, and Old. We left the Basic mode alonebut had Empress modify the Vintage and Old modes. In the Vintage Mode(remember, these are all under the Tape setting) we’ve added extramodulation for a rich, full sounding repeat with full frequencyresponse. In the Old Mode we’ve kept the same modulation but rolled offthe high end by 15% and added some grit to emulate a tape delay withworn heads, old tape, and a bit of flutter.

The effect is startling, warm fuzzy repeatswith enough modulation to give the impression of tape flutter from anold poorly maintained machine. The new Empress Vintage ModifiedSuperdelay still has all the rest of the features and great soundingdelays as the original with a new paint job and a little added appealto the tape and vintage delay fans.
