PSK Kyung Nam Co - Delay PLY2

PSK DLY-2 – South Korean, genuine BBD analog delay from the 1980s. Essentially the Korean relative/clone of the Boss DM-2.

It features three controls:

• D.TIME – approx. 20–300 ms, which is considered a short delay by modern standards. Interestingly, according to reports, the DLY-2 works in reverse compared to the DM-2: turning the knob to the left increases the delay time.
• D.LEVEL – volume of the delayed signal.
• FEEDBACK – controls the number of repeats; at higher settings, the pedal can be pushed into self-oscillation.

This is not simply an exact DM-2 copy. According to a detailed Korean comparison, the DLY-2 has a darker, deeper, dirtier and more aggressive character. The repeats progressively lose high frequencies, become distorted and increasingly noisy – exactly the kind of vintage BBD character that boutique pedals are made to recreate today. With the feedback turned up, it can also produce particularly wild self-oscillation.

Components:

• Matsushita MN3205 BBD IC
• MN3102 clock driver
• 4558DD JRC op-amp

The pedal is in beautiful, collector-grade condition. The original protective film is still present underneath the control knobs.

No original box.

Runs on a standard 9V negative-center adapter or a battery.
