VINTAGE 1980S DELAY CHARACTER MEETS MODERN FLEXIBILITY

Movement, color, and unpredictability inspired by the legendary AMS 1580S—the delay that shaped Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Bicep, and Orbital.

The 36db dbmx-1980 captures classic 1980s effects hardware character and pushes it further with modern features. Dual-channel delays, independent pitch shifting, three resonant filters, drive, bit reduction, and 384 presets across three rack variations give you everything from subtle vintage warmth to extreme warped atmospheres.

Inside you'll find:

- 36db dbmx-1980 Max for Live device

- 3 dbmx-1980 Effects Rack variations with different macro mappings

- 384 total custom presets (128 in each rack)

- Dual-channel delay with independent time and pitch control (-12 to +12 semitones)

- OSC LFO for delay times with audio-rate modulation

- Nudge buttons and selector—just like the original AMS 1580S
