|
A laboratory in which to give full reign to your own creativity, as you experiment with the various “dimensions” of delay.

Main features:
- a choice of 4 types of delay: Digital – Analog – Resonance – Modulation
- active analog filter, to give emphasis to the frequency response of the repetitions
- a selection of times, from 0 ms to 1000 ms
- Tap Tempo with subdivision between quarter, dotted eighth and eighth triplets
- control over delay time with soft pitch bending
Mastro Valvola, Italy 
History
The name Mastro Valvola (The Valve Master) came from the experience gained in the world of vacuum tube amplification, which motivated founder and designer Luca Romanelli to devote himself to sound and electronic research with the aim of developing high-end products, turning them into a source of inspiration to the artists who use them.
“This experience helped me understand how important the warmth of sound is when it comes to captivating the audience.” (L.R. // Owner)
The production of guitar and bass pedals started in 2008 with the introduction of the Smog overdrive, and then expanded over time to include the wide range of professional products found there today.
