Vintage Yamaha D1500 rack delay as used by Vai, Tim Pierce, Huff, etc.
I purchased this from the Electric Ladyland Studios inventory. It is a 100V 2 prong Japanese model but has functioned flawlessly in my guitar rig. You won’t find a cleaner unit. This unit is HEAVY and will be overpacked.
80's Digital delay. Still kicking. The Yamaha D1500 is a digital delay system with a time range of 0 to 1023 milliseconds in 1 millisecond increments, with full 20Hz to 18kHz frequency response throughout the delay range. It was the first commercially available digital delay with a MIDI interface and follows the success of the digital reverb.
Any of the D1500's 16 programmable memory banks can be selected remotely from a MIDI instrument. This allows specific delay effects to be assigned to particular instrument voices. The appropriate delays are then recalled automatically as each voice is selected.
For non-MIDI equipment, programmed delays can be recalled simply by selecting the appropriate bank – either manually or by footswitch.
