Members fatbackribs Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 I had a chance last week to demo a Jacqes Prisoner analog delay for a few days and boy was I surprised by the twisted delay sounds lurking within this little beastie. pt.1 is here! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5771936889985965622 (excuse the rattling window - quite a windy day) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4822412723260399016 Now that it's gone, I can feel the g.a.s. building for a Prisoner delay of my own. This was my first time trying a Jacqes pedal and I'm very impressed. Are there any Trinity owners out here? That also looks like a fun one.

Members puddinstone Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 I absolutely love how slooooow the modulation can go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members erksin Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 I've had one for about 3-4 months now and LOVE this thing. People have been blowing it off because it doesn't self-oscillate, but I don't think they truly grasp how f'ing cool the Modulation control is. Way more useful and musical, IMO... John - when you get ready to pull the trigger, I highly recommend Steve's Music Center (linky on the Jacques site as an authorized dealer). The best price around ($199 shipped), and Steve does great customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members derek_32999 Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 It may just be me, but for a heavier pedal the FB-2 is pretty sweet!! Would love to try a trinity as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members light years Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 well doesnt a DMM do all that and feed back too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members puddinstone Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 The prisoner seems to sound clearer and not as dark (possibly less noise). Also, the modulation on the DMM doesn't go that slow. One thing that seems nice about the Prisoner as well is that you can control rate and depth for the modulation. You can not do this on a DMM.

Members 4Kenoath Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Nice. I can never understand the obsession with self ocillation either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members elctmist Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Nice, so it sounds like a more analog version of the ibanez mod delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members math2014 Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 this thread just made me decide against ibanez AD9RI and DMM....and go instead for a prisoner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Esperanto Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 WOW WOW WOW that thing sounds awesome...Finally a weird delay to put with my zvex collection:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BmoreTele Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 The first twenty seconds of the clip are wonderfully sweet modulated delay. My AD202, DMM, DD20 do that as well. After that it gets into the kind of pitch shifting, jam band, twilight zone sounds that are fun to play at home or while under the influence. I already have the PDS 20/20 for that kind of stuff. Thanks for the clip. GAS eliminated on this pedal for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members derek_32999 Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Although it doesnt self oscillate, it still sounds smoother than for ex. an echopark when you turn the time knob. The EP makes a squelchy nasty sound. The prisoner sounds MUCH smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members endo23 Posted July 4, 2006 Members Share Posted July 4, 2006 Thanks for the clip, fatback! 300ms isn't enough for me, but the pedal certainly sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vatican Posted July 4, 2006 Members Share Posted July 4, 2006 I have enough analog delays for a lifetime, I think, but Jacques' pedals do look intriguing, such as the Trinity, Bat Fuzz, and the Geisha. The only thing that bummed me out was he didn't have a stereo chorus. PS - it seems like analog delay pedals are making a comeback. New sources of bucket brigade chips seem to be firming up, as Moog as also gotten back in the game, as has Maxon with their 999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
