Description
The D-Two is a delay / effects unit in a neat 1U box. Part of the TC Electronic family of rackmount outboard gear, it’s primarily a delay unit but offers chorus & flanging as well as filtered delay repeats. Since the demise of the legendary TC 2290 this is TC Electronic’s only dedicated delay unit
The D-Two offers up to 10 seconds of delay and all the editing you could wish for. It has rhythm tap for setting tempo, control over the number of repeats via the same tap input, stereo ping pong effects with five different patterns and delay filtering for analogue-tape-style repeats. You can even tap in a rhythmic repeat pattern and the D-Two will save & follow it
Like other TC units, the D-Two has great connectivity:
- two channels of balanced analogue audio inputs & outputs on jacks
- SP/DIF digital in & out on phono connectors
- 44.1 / 48 kHz digital clock sync speeds
- 24-Bit AD/DA convertors and 24-Bit internal processing
- Midi in / out / thru on 5-pin DIN midi connectors
- Footswitch input on a jack socket
- Universal auto-switching mains power supply (100-240 VAC) with standard IEC connector
The D-Two can be connected digitally to a DAW via SP/DIF digital inputs & outputs. It’s equally at home in the analogue domain with balanced inputs & outputs on jack sockets and 24-Bit AD/DA convertors for impeccable TC sound quality
“All I can say is what a beautiful delay! Best echo machine ever…”
“The tap button and feedback button, right next to it, is easy to use, and the length of delay is great. Just spin the dial or hit tap”
“The D-Two is a very smooth, user-friendly delay unit. The dynamic delay function is extremely useful”
“I’ve been using it for approximately a year and still rave about it. I particularly like the dynamic delay adjustments”
“Have had it for years love it, love it, love it!!!!!! Heh”
“I had one and should have never sold it. It’s definitely a killer delay”
Setting up a killer delay once meant a Studer A80 1/4″ with varispeed, a pair of Dolbys, a reel of tape and a tape op to make tea then rewind the tape when it ran out. TC now makes it easy with the D-Two. It still can’t make a decent cup of tea, but the delays sound great
