Sinvertek Fluid Time MKII

Digitally Controlled Analog Delay (BBD)

Believe most people love BBD analog delay, the tone is warm and hoarse, also misty and hazy. This unique taste obsessed so many guitarists, they are repeatedly looking for the tone which is the most closest to the signature 80’s. Because of this, It appeared in many classic riff and solo. The birth of the Fluid Time MK2 is designed to meet this forever demand. The first generation of the Fluid Time was released in 2011, due to the excellent tone and functionality, it won the love and approval of the customers. After several years of continuous development and improvement, all performance of it were upgraded to the top level. The Fluid Time MK 2 was finally born and published in the 2016 winter NAMM.

The tone of Fluid Time MK2 perfectly preserve the traditional features of Bucket Brigade Device(BBD), it is warm and hoarse, fully filling with the analog taste. The tone is also very clear, with minimal noise. The Fluid Time MK2 has the unique delay structure, it equipped 5 pcs reissued MN3208 BBD chips, due to this, the delay time reaches to 700ms. This is a relatively longer delay time, it gives you more creative possibilities, and also make the Fluid Time MK2 more widely used.

The Fluid Time MK2 is a pure analog delay controlled by micro controller. The signal path is all consist of analog circuit, this design guarantees the perfect sound quality. In analog circuit part, the Fluid Time MK2 equipped a super buffer circuit, it can be used to buffer the original signal, even facing the most complex interference environment during the performance and rehearsal, the signal can be also very pure, the tone will not lose the top end, also the air sense.

The control part of the Fluid Time MKII is consist of digital signal controllers, compared with the traditional BBD analog delay, the Fluid Time MKII has a great breakthrough in use. Same as the digital delay, the Fluid Time MKII also has the TAP TAMPO and TAP DIVISION function. When using TAP TAMPO function, you can get a LO-FI BBD delay signal with the delay time of up to 2s. When using TAP DIVISION function, you can divide the current delay time to other beats. Furthermore, except the common TURE BYPASS and BUFFER BYPASS, the Fluid Time MKII was added to a more practical TRAIL BYPASS. It also equipped a FX LOOP in the effect path, you can add any effects which you like in the loop, such as chorus, wah, flanger, and so on.

In addition to the normal mode, the Fluid Time MKII has three special working modes, DUAL TIME mode, TAKE OFF mode and STEP OVER mode. When working in the DUAL TIME mode, you can set up 2 fixed delay time, then freely switching between these two delay time during the playing. When working in the TAKE OFF mode, you can get the amazing auditory effect caused by the increased feedback. The STEP OVER is a strange effect, like aliens are talking. Both TAKE OFF and STEP OVER can give you a unique tone on the stage.

The Fluid Time MKII has powerful external control function. By connecting CTRL/CV JACK, you can control and switch the BYPASS, TAP TAMPO and the special working modes. You can also connect CV pedal or generator to adjust the delay time, auto trigger the special working modes and adjust the parameters of special working modes.

In order to ensure the professional tone and unsurpassed reliability, we chose the military-level PCB and high quality components.
