The Cicognani LE PRISM delay is a “creative machine" designed for the recording studio as well as live performances. It integrates the history of analog sounds of those old models of "Italian Echo" ranging from Model 1 up thru the PE603 stereo unit. Le Prism Offers 4 delay times as well as 4 selectable feedbacks, all summable and adjustable as desired. The 4 delay times are synchronized exactly like the old vintage units with delays of: 78 - 156 - 234 – 312mS.
Using the "VARISPEED" control, the delay times can be extended up to 700mS, while maintaining the "heads" perfectly synchronized with limited signal distortions. This control has been evolved to select the delay times of the most historic Italian echoes including MODEL1, T7E, PE603, leaving a large adjustment space that allows you to be able to achieve the maximum delay characteristics of this unit. This major flexibility allows us to be able to use those fantastic sounds of the past in modern settings, satisfying the requests of the ever increasing demands of musicians and recording studios.
The 4 feedback settings (BACK) come from the delay times of the 4 single heads and thanks to the various combinations it's possible to obtain the ultimate psychedelic sounds along with a vast variety of different types of musical delay pads.
