TC Electronic's The Prophet Digital Delay effects pedal delivers instant access to crisp, clear digital delay tones with superb studio-quality sound. Designed for guitarists who want pristine digital delay without any analog flavoring, it's perfect for iconic rhythmic delay tones, cascading ambient beds and contemporary rock and country.

Dial In Delay Times Up To 1,300ms

With the Prophet, you can easily dial in the exact delay time you want, from short slapbacks to long, lush beds of ambience. The toggle switch lets you instantly jump from fast repeats to expansive delays up to 1,300ms, perfect for huge, soaring guitar solos. The Time, Repeat and Mix knobs give you intuitive control over every nuance of your delay tone.

Modern Delay Tones With Pristine Clarity

There's no vintage flavor with the Prophet, just ultramodern and crystal-clear digital delay tones. It's perfect for iconic rhythmic delay, cascading ambience and contemporary rock and country. The sound quality is as pristine and studio-ready as delay gets. From fast slapbacks to oscillating mayhem, the Prophet covers it all.

Intuitive Controls Make Delay Exploration Easy

The Prophet makes exploring delay tones fun and intuitive. The Time knob controls the delay length, while Repeat adjusts the number of echoes. The Mix knob blends in just the right amount of delay with your original signal. Whether you want a subtle slapback or wildly cascading echoes, the Prophet puts exceptional digital delay right at your feet.

Worth every penny!

I got this pedal as an impulse buy, it was recommended to me by a employee (wish I could remember his name). He said this pedal was excellent for delay effects and the quality for the price was outstanding... I have to agree with him. Whether you're going for a subtle bit of reverberation, a nice bit of slap back, or you have a sudden urge to play some classics from U2, this pedal is perfect for the price. Experiment with it to find some of the more interesting quirks, like setting the decay to max and letting the sounds add up and create a sound vortex. Turn the pedal off, leave for a bit, comeback and turn it on and the sound will still be there, waiting for you. Lots of great things I've with this pedal, and plenty more to discover.

Not for everyone...

This pedal is built well and will most likely stand up to a lot of use. However, I said it was " difficult to use" because there is absolutely no sweetness or real character in its sound. You can't dial in that sweet spot; therefore, difficult to use in any real professional setting. In my opinion, it's cold and sterile sounding. For the money, get the Relaxing Walrus Delay or mini Flashback Delay instead. You'll be much happier. TC makes good pedals, but this is a very entry level delay pedal.

    I used it with my Moog Grandmother on my table and never stomped on it. Didn't even go near full volume. No idea what happened, pretty sure I just got a dud. Love the sound possibilities though!

  • Great effects!

    First delay, I've been playing for two years. Took me about 10 minutes to figure out how it works. It's really easy to dial in effects. It's simple but works well. True bypass is silent with a power supply and this pedal doesn't color my tone whether it's on or off.

  • Great Delay pedal

    as an addition to my pedal board I was looking for "a little delay" to add to my overall sound quality, this product was prefect! I have tried 4 other pedals that had either too much or no delay depending on how I dialed them up this was perfect!

  • Wow what a sound

    I was looking for a different Delay pedal for my second set up. My number one "had" an MXR Carbon Copy. I had no issues with the Carbon copy, but when I hooked up the Prophet and gave it a spin, I loved the sound and flexibility so much it was put into the number one board.
