Matthews Effects The Surgeon V2 Delay Pedal

8 distinct delay algorithms

The Surgeon V2’s four separate modes offer eight completely unique delay tones to carve out your sonic signature:

• EQ: This mode offers two EQ’d delay styles, HP and LP, that occur in the feedback loop. This unique placement means that your repeats will get darker or brighter over time depending on which algorithm you choose, with LP delivering a dark, moody analog-style sound while HP brings the clarity.
  
  
• MOD: Looking for some warble in your delay? MOD mode’s Depth and Rate algorithms give you access to two classic modulated delay styles: Depth and Rate. Depth mode sports a speed that’s been optimized by Matthews Effects for the most utility, while letting you dial in your preferred depth. Rate mode simply reverses this, locking in a versatile depth setting and allowing you to set your rate.
  
  
• AF: The Auto Filter mode’s two delays boast a filter built into the post-delay section — perfect for fans of delay tones that develop and bloom over time. Like the MOD mode, the Rate and Depth AF algorithms feature a locked-in, optimized rate or depth, with control over each algorithm’s titular function.
  
  
• Dual: Double the delay! In this mode, there are two delays, with delay 1 being placed into the feedback loop and delay 2 triggered by delay 1, allowing you to create everything from pulsing polyrhythms to lush ambient soundscapes. The two algorithms in Dual mode are Free and Sync: Free mode offers a chaotic setup where delay 2 is completely independent of delay 1; Sync mode hard locks delay 2 into divisions of delay 1, yielding choppy rhythmic sounds.

A plethora of presets

The Surgeon V2 is loaded with an endless assortment of delay possibilities. Once you’ve dialed in your preferred sound, a set of powerful preset functions give you instant access to all your creations. Four presets can be cycled through simply by using the footswitch; however, if you need more control, The Surgeon V2’s MIDI and USB functions offer a whopping 127 slots! Plus, the Matthews Effects Computer Editor for Mac and Windows gives you comprehensive control over preset creation, editing, and control, in addition to allowing you to keep your Surgeon up to date with Matthew Effects' latest firmware updates.

Endless expression possibilities

Having an expression jack is a great way to wrangle some extra control out of your pedal, but Matthew Effects have really taken it to another level with the Surgeon V2! This pedal’s expression input allows you to manipulate any (or all!) parameters on your Surgeon V2, allowing for incredible in-the-moment setting shifts and wild experimentation. What’s more, you can even edit the range of your sweep, allowing you to dial in your sweet spot, no matter the setting.

Ramp it up

The Surgeon V2 boasts a unique “Ramp” function that, as its name suggests, ramps up your sound into previously unexplored sonic territories. How does it do this? By holding on the bypass footswitch, the Ramp control cascades your selected parameter into its maximum setting, and as soon as you let go, it releases back to its original point. This allows for plenty of in-the-moment flourishes, and like the expression control, you can apply it to any setting you wish and also precisely adjust the range of your sweep.

Matthews Effects The Surgeon V2 Delay Pedal Features:

• 8 unique delay algorithms split into 4 modes: EQ, MOD, AF, and Dual
• Powerful expression functions include the ability to adjust any parameter you choose and set the range of their respective sweep

• MIDI I/O (PC and CC) and USB for enhanced control and access to the computer editor for Mac and PC
