Comments on Providence Chrono Delay DLY-4
Since we introduced the new Providence Chrono Delay DLY-4 pedal to the market, we have received a lot of comments on it from many musicians.
Here are some of those comments.

The new Chrono delay pedal by Providence is the most user friendly pedal I've come across. They have literally thought of everything. Back in the 90s, studio guitarists would carry massive charts showing delay times and how they related to beats per minute (BPM). This enabled us to sync our delay times to the click track. My chart was laminated in plastic and delivered with my gear to every session I did. The Chrono delay has a switch to toggle between milliseconds and BPM, and a knob to switch between quarter notes, eighth notes, half notes, dotted eighths.....even dotted half notes for real spacey ambience. To my knowledge it's the first delay pedal with a digital readout, too.

Ever since I started performing as a musician I have been on the quest for the ultimate tone and the Providence Chrono Delay has become a core component of my touring and recording rig., its crystalline tone and simple operation really does the trick.
A while back I decided to stop using delay effects altogether because I found they would digitise your original guitar signal and really mess with the overall tone of the amp but the Providence delay keeps your original signal analog and true from input to output. So now I can do a concert with just one amp, one guitar and a Chrono delay in the fx loop of the amp and for me its just magic.
With great features like the digital readout and the ability to switch between Bpm and Msec and just the total ease of use for the non-technically minded musician (like myself) the Providence Chrono delay is a revelation in design and sound quality.

I spent a couple hours today at my home playing it and I must say I'm very impressed! It sounds very pure, smooth and musical. I got so inspired by the tone of it that I just left it on one delay setting for a long time and kept playing. I look forward to spending more time with it and checking out more of the sounds it can make.

For the record, I absolutely adore the Chrono. The more I use it, the more I like it. I love its clear and non-intrusive sound, it’s subtle controls, the way that the Hardness control reacts with the Feedback control and the fact that the dry signal is not affected at all. And, of course, I love its functionality. It does have a different sound to the DLY-80’s, yes, and that’s a good thing. Why try to be something else?
