The Ultimate Dub Delay FX Unit: Erica Synths Zen Delay
Â
The Erica Synths Zen Delay is a unique and powerful stereo delay effect unit, created in collaboration with the electronic music duo Ninja Tune. It combines the best of both digital and analogue worlds, featuring a 24dB multimode filter and a valve overdrive circuit to deliver a vast sonic palette, from classic tape and dub echoes to ethereal shimmers and gritty, overdriven textures.
Â
Designed as a hands-on performance instrument, the Zen Delay has an intuitive, one-knob-per-function layout with no hidden menus. This allows for immediate and expressive control over all its parameters. You can dial in everything from subtle, warm delays to extreme, self-oscillating feedback loops. The large, comfortable knobs for delay time, feedback, and filter cutoff make it perfect for live tweaking and sound exploration.
Â
With its rugged metal case and comprehensive connectivity, including stereo I/O, MIDI, and CV inputs, the Zen Delay is equally at home in the studio, on stage, or integrated into a modular synth setup. It's a versatile and inspiring effects unit that can add depth, character, and a touch of analogue warmth to any sound source.
