The long-standing mission of Suhr has been to bring the simplicity and tone of analog circuitry to today’s guitarists. The Suhr Discovery Analog Delay is the new revolutionary pedal, designed by Kevin Suhr. The Discovery Analog Delay is the first of its kind, for Suhr and the world. Retaining the tone, vibe, and creative inspiration of iconic analog delay units, yet adding the versatility of the most modern and expandable delay pedals available today.
Suhr Discovery
Suhr’s Discovery delay pedal represents Kevin Suhr’s ground-up reimagining of analog echo, aimed squarely at modern guitarists who crave the sounds of the past with the convenience of digital functionality. This pedal begins with an all-analog circuit path comprising four reissue MN3005 bucket brigade analog chips. The result? A seriously impressive 40–1100ms range that’s expandable to 17–2,000ms using the Discovery’s subdivision and tap tempo controls.
The vintage-inspired formula continues with the Discovery’s moody modulation section, complete with three different waveform selections to envelope your echoes with wispy warble and rushing chorus. You also get an intuitive 2-knob EQ section to further sculpt your sound. Considering its panoply of sonic possibilities, it’s fitting that the Discovery comes complete with 127 preset slots to save your favorite settings, along with full MIDI functionality to swap between them.
Round it all out with custom expression pedal mapping, switchable true/buffered bypass, and kill dry mode for parallel effects loops, and the Suhr Discovery Analog Delay is a true masterclass in the art of merging uncompromisingly old-school sonics with cutting-edge digital control.
SUHR: UNRIVALED IN CRAFTSMANSHIP
Suhr doesn’t just build handcrafted, boutique-quality instruments and amplifiers — the company creates exceptional tools that fuel musical dreams and artistic passions. John Suhr began crafting custom guitars in the mid-1970s, and by the dawn of the 1980s, he was building made-to-order Pensa-Suhr instruments for a who’s who of top musicians. In the 1990s, John collaborated with celebrated rig builder Bob Bradshaw to design the now-legendary CAA 3+ and 3+SE preamps and the CAA OD-100 amplifier. In 1997, after a stint as senior master builder for Fender’s Custom Shop, John founded his own company, a decision that enabled him to bring to fruition products of unrivaled quality, detail, and craftsmanship.
Today, the Suhr name is synonymous with prestige; a guitar, bass, or amplifier with the Suhr marque garners instant respect. With elite players such as Mateus Asato, Reb Beach, Scott Henderson, James Norbert Ivanyi, Andre Nieri, Pete Thorn, Ian Thornley, Doug Aldrich, and Andy Wood on the company’s roster, you can be certain that your Suhr places you in esteemed company.
