I found another old digital delay. This one from the 80′s (if the colour of the knobs are any indication).
This device has two delay circuits which are wired independently to their respective connections on the back of the unit (more on that in a second).
One delay circuit (B) is just a standard delay. The delay times are from 4 to 1024 milliseconds. Time controls are in 4 time blocks with a time sweep knob. Pretty standard for a unit of this age. There is also a effect mix control and a delay repeat control. The other delay circuit (A) has a shorter delay time – 0.5 to 256 milliseconds – with the same style time controls. It also includes modulation and speed controls for flange/chorus type effects.
The jacks on the back of this delay are everything you need and more...

This is a strange 2 unit rack mount multi-effect from the 1980's with a 5 button petal board. It has "Heavy Metal" Distortion, Flanger/Chorus, Digital Delay, and a Parametric Equalization.Read More
I didn't really seek out this little half-rack unit. It found me. Read More
I just got this and haven’t had much time to play with it – but so far I’m digging it.
4 inputs, 4 outputs. The in/out level controls are dedicated knobs on the front panel. You can define 4 different effects with each channel or combine them. You can also stack up to four effects (4 reverbs in series anyone?). I’ve also seen it has a 4 band vocoder but I haven’t played with it yet. At first glance the programming is a little funky but another hour playing with it and I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
All this in a nice two unit case.

Crazy! Wacky! Out of this world! Only $30! At least I think that is what I paid for this odd little 12-bit digital reverb unit.

From the manual…
The JBL/UREI 7110 Limiter/Compressor is built in the tradition that has made UREI limiter/compressors the audio professionals’ choice world-wide. Incorporating both peak and average gain reduction detectors in a single rack space size, the Model 7110 is equally at home in the small recording studio, the sound contractor’s rack, portable sound systems, broadcasting studios or anywhere audio levels need to be automatically controlled.
The 7110 offers new smooth sounding Smart-Slope compression ratios adjustable from 1.5: 1 thru infinity: 1 and permits independent settings for limiting threshold, attack and release times, and output level...
Read MoreThis is a very nice reverb unit. Lots of variations, clean sound and when you power it up you’re greeted by a smiley dude on the LCD screen. What’s not to love?
The LCD seems to be sensitive to heat. When the unit warms up in the rack it starts to black out a bit. Run a fan on it and it goes back to normal. Weird.
Sadly, I think my R7 is on its way out. I’ve lost a couple input LEDs and sometimes it seems to be making a bit of a buzz. This has been my main go-to reverb and I hate to see it die.
