Suhr Discovery

Suhr · pedal

The Suhr Discovery is an analog delay pedal, not an overdrive, built around four reissued MN3005 bucket-brigade chips for a warm, rich, unmistakably analog echo character. It covers everything from warm, vintage 1950s-style slapback repeats to cascading, triplet-based echoes that swirl with lush modulation, combining the tone and vibe of classic analog delay units with the flexibility and control of a modern, expandable delay pedal. It suits players wanting authentic analog bucket-brigade delay warmth and versatility rather than a fixed, single-voice vintage delay.

  • “The Suhr Discovery delivers transparent amp-like overdrive at Suhr premium California quality for blues, country, and rock players who want natural amp voicing from one of the finest handcrafted manufacturers”
