SolidGoldFX EM-III Multi-Head Tape-Style Delay Pedal

If you're looking for a new Multi-Head, Tape-Style Delay pedal for the contemporary player, then the SolidGoldFX EM-III could be just the thing for you!

Small, Powerful, And Versatile Delay Pedal

When designing the EM-III, SGFX built upon their own Electroman Delay Legacy, to deliver a pedal that embodies the past, present, and future of delay effects.

Featuring a wide-ranging yet ultra-intuitive control set, with warm analog-voiced echoes, precise and modern delay, and even experimental futuristic sound designs, the SGFX EM-III is a compact delay powerhouse that would fit in to most pedalboard rigs with ease.

Intuitive Controls

At the flick of a switch this pedal has the ability to add in a signal that's an octave lower to the primary delay head, resulting it dancing, rhythmic delays with both body and gravitas, and even an array of bold, washy soundscapes.

When flicked to the left, this switch will select between 1, 2, or 3 delay heads, but when flicked right the Octave effect will be toggled on or off.

Once this switch is set, simply adjust your Delay Level, Repeats, and Time parameters via the control knobs, or make use of the Tap Tempo function via the soft-click switch, and you're ready to go.

Extra Parameter Controls

Thanks to the Flutter control you can introduce an array of delay modulation, ranging slow and dreamy chorus-like effects when all the way to the left, through to a faster vibrato-style delay reminiscent of tape-style crinkles when dialled all the way to the right.

In addition to this, the Color knob allows you to fine-tune your echoes, engaging both high-pass and low-pass filtering to take you from warm, murky analog-esque repeats, to crisp and bright tape-style repeats, and even super-thin lo-fi delays and everything inbetween. When set into the dead-centre though, you get a pristine full-frequency digital delay sound.

Interactive Warp And Glitch Features

For when you need to add even more experimental sounds to your playing, you can press and hold either the Tap, the Bypass, or both functions at the same time warping and glitching sounds.

When you hold the Tap button alone you increase the number of repeats until it self-oscillates into a wall of sound, but if you hold Bypass you replicate the sound of a tape motor that's on its way out and a tape reel snapping. Hold down both at the same time and you're presented with glorious noise seances that are the perfect way to end a song.

Additional Features

In addition to all of that the SolidGoldFX EM-III features soft-touch, relay based true bypass switching - with the option of buffered trails - as well as top-mounted jacks, and up to a full second of delay time.

The SGFX EM-III is designed to inspire and evoke emotion at all points of the emotional spectrum, so order yours at PMT Online today and tune up, plug in, and immerse yourself into this excellent sonic experience.
