The Electro Harmonix Attack Delay is a delay pedal that generates its repeats from the input signal's attack transient rather than continuously processing the whole note. Its controls shape how the delayed echoes are produced and colored, with the delay time determining the spacing between repeats and the feedback or regeneration control setting how many times the echo repeats before dying out. The mix or effect level control blends the dry guitar signal with the delayed repeats, allowing the user to balance the two in the output. Distinctive to this unit is its focus on the pick attack, which means the delay effect responds to the initial strike of the string, creating a percussive, rhythmic echo pattern that stands apart from standard delay pedals that repeat the entire signal. The pedal is housed in a compact stompbox format with standard input and output jacks, and it is powered by a typical 9-volt DC adapter, making it suitable for pedalboards.
