Shipping info
The E580 emulates the classic sounds of digital, BBD (bucket brigade), and tape-based delays with four parameters under voltage control. This 14hp wide Eurorack module accepts either +/-12V standard power or +/-15V MOTM/power. Using a 40MHz DSP and 24-bit codec, the E580 recreates the pitch-shift modulation of BBDs, including the variable bandwidth and noise floor, without costly and scarce BBD ICs. In Tape Mode, wow & flutter, tape saturation and non-linear distortions emulate classic tape units without the bulk and maintenance. There are two simultaneous audio outputs: a straight delay and a variable tapped delay. The tap position is a percentage of the main delay time. This allows very short delays (<350μs) as well as long delays (750ms). Both tap position offset and main delay time are voltage-controlled over a -5v to +5v range.

Feedback is jumper-selectable from either the tapped position or the main delay. This flexibility can generate standard rhythmic delays (feedback from main delay) or a series of pre-delay reflections (tapped delay) which sound very different from each other.

SPECS

Height 3U (128.5mm)
Width 14hp (70.8mm)
Depth 32mm
Power 14-pin Eurorack (90mA from +12V, 20mA from -12V)
4-pin MOTM (90mA from +15V, 20mA from -15V)
CV input range 10Vpp (-5V to +5V), DC to 8KHz
Audio Input 10Vpp (-5V to +5V), 18KHz bandwidth (in Clean mode)
Audio Output 10Vpp (-5V to +5V), 5Hz to 18KHz
Delay Time Maximum of 780ms (0.78 seconds)
Jumper Options JP2: feedback will be taken from the Tap output (position 1-2) or the Delay output (position 2-3)

PANEL CONTROLS

Wet/Dry Sets the effects mix
Feedback Applies negative feedback (CCW) or positive feedback (CW). When placed in the center, there is zero feedback.
Tap Offset Sets the percentage of the Tap Out in relation to the Delay Time. For example, if the Delay Time is set to 100ms, the Tap is set from 0-100ms. The time resolution is very fine (over 7,000 independent positions) to allows very smooth modulation of the Tap position.
Delay Time Sets the delay time for the Delay Out. Note that since Tap Out is a percentage of Delay Time, if you change the Delay Time there is a corresponding change to the Tap Out delay time. The time ratio of Delay to Tap is constant however.
Mode switch Choose from one of three delay types

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Audio In Signal input, can be line level or modular synth level
Delay Out Delayed signal output
Tap Out Delayed output modified by Tap Offset value
Delay input CV input for modulating the Delay Time value
Mix input CV input for modulating the Wet/Dry value
Feedback input CV input for modulating the Feedback value
Offset input CV input for modulating the Tap Offset value

How much is my shipping?

Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.

Do you ship to my country?

Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.

Shipping methods

We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.

Dispatch times

For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.

For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.

Shipping times

Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.

There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.

Saturday shipping

If you're in the UK and you order before 15:30 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.

Pre-orders

If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.

If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
