Here’s my addition for a hazarai deluxe, so many want one!:

I actually don’t think the above ideas are the most important improvements, but to make it more perfect i’d include:

third switch- accesses the looper functions and is in non-latching recording mode (so you press once to record, once to stop record)
(OR a latch/non-latch toggle and just two footswitches)

tap tempo switch- can perform the loop erase function without bypassing when held down instead.

better buffer and volume loss sorted: the cathedral seems to be a lot better, so perhaps they can do better now.

loop controls: set as default to something sensible whilst in other modes-particularly the repeats on full so no attenuation, maybe the preset of the looper can be set to run and not be affected by other modes at all.

expression control!

mod speed on the mod setting

analogue pitch bending delay control on some of the modes for that oscillation sound (keep the stutter on some though.)

something similar to the voices on the reverse reverb, but on the standard mode!

and some new crazy delay variants you’ve perhaps not added yet!

now i’m thinking make a strymon timeline/delaylab competitor. EHX has the POG, small clone, Holy grail tons of effects enough envlope filters i don’t know which to chose. that we could get a taste of with delays…would i guess be a hazarai with more modes, like delay shimmer, chorus-delay, swell delay, grail+delay, filter delay, dual/rhythmic, more glitchy superego type stuff like the redpanda particle etc. and the formentioned updates to the hazarai!

one thing i realised is the multitap isn’t a true multitap, as it only taps a straight rhythm. its just tap delay, MISADVERTISED, a multitap taps out a rhythm. therefore i want an actual real multitap, because its the whole reason i’m buying a second delay!

Could make the first big delay with separate dry/wet outputs switchable with LR. it would be so useful especially with loops! i can then send to separate amps so they don’t get lost in mix, or step on massive distortion whilst having delay on a separate amp and it not get lost, then maybe switch back to standard stereo for a clean ambient preset..

I’m sure it would compete with the strymons and eventides if there were just minor changes actually…forget adding tons of modes- essentially its great but a few more improvements on how it does things would be great.

Volume drop is due to the phasing of the ouputs i’m pretty sure. There are certain configurations of how you plug in outputs that work(but mean the effect is unusable/lost functions)…or actually hooking up to stereo of course….its just how the two ‘phased’ outputs are summed into mono they cancel on both dry and effect-at about 45 degrees each or something because phase switching doesn’t help much. Stereo is fine, one channel only is fine, running through both channels in series is fine with suitable changes like buffers or preamps inbetween.

I think there are multiple modes so there are presets, the only reason for adding modes is say if they give 3 presets for each mode, then not need 1 sec, 3 sec versions so include somethng else maybe just slightly different like rate knob, oscillation whatever…
