VOX Joe Satriani Time Machine Dual Mode Delay Pedal

Step into a new dimension of sound with the Vox Joe Satriani Time Machine Dual-Mode Delay Pedal. Created through a meticulous collaboration between VOX and guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, the Time Machine is engineered to deliver the ultimate blend of pristine modern clarity and organic vintage warmth. Whether you are crafting spacious atmospheric soundscapes, rhythmic delayed echoes, or tight slapback sounds, this professional-grade stompbox offers unmatched tonal flexibility for any player.

At the heart of the Time Machine is a versatile dual-nature architecture. It features two distinct delay modes: a Modern mode that mirrors your original signal with full fidelity, and a Vintage mode equipped with a custom asymmetrical saturation circuit and subtle modulation to accurately emulate the coveted character and warble of classic tape echoes. To ensure your guitar always sits perfectly in the mix, the pedal also incorporates a specialized Hi-Fi/Lo-Fi switch, providing tailored high-pass and low-pass EQ filtering designed directly to Satriani’s studio specifications.
