Hi Gary, I am trying to retrace Christopher Moore's steps. Do you know how much involvement he had in the original Prime Time 93 (released in 1978) when he was at Lexicon (from 1973 to 1977 at least) if at all?

@@yashnu When I joined Lexicon in late 1977, Chris had recently left the company. The PrimeTime development had started a few months before and I imagine that he had some input into the feature set definition. But I don't think it was close to his heart, since his first product at Ursa Major was the Space Station SST-282 with quite a different architecture and feature set.

i found your video about setting up studio monitors a while ago in part of my deep research of what monitors to get and how to deal with my less than ideal studio, just a result in a search, but just didn't realize you were a skinny puppy producer til i was looking up skinny puppy live videos to get hype for their farewell tour. now i'm going through and watching all your production videos. amazing stuff, thank you.

Great video! General consensus among guitarists is that the PCM 42 blasts the PCM 41 out of the water for at least three reasons: (1) the 42 had the display screen so you can dial in exact millisecond delay (key if you are running two in series or parallel), (2) the 42 has way longer delay trails than 41 and (3) the limiter adds amazing colour to the tone when you hotrod the front end, as you noted.

thanks for sharing *yet another* box of magic today, Ken! i have two different rack effect units from 1991-92 that i still use whenever i get up to something that requires that special, lo-fi grit that just can't seem to come from my more modern boxes. something very special about the rackmount gear from that period. now, if i could only keep them out of the shop for their internal battery replacements... =)

YES YES YES!!! Thanks for this one! I don't have the 42 as prices for them are way out of control, but i do have the PCM41, and the SDD-1000 and love them to death! The feedback on my 41 doesn't self oscillate though, i wish it did. The feedback on the SDD-1000 does however, and it glorious! Keep the output at a manageable level, and it will just go and go and go. Play with the delay time factor knob, and instant Ain't It Dead Yet sounds. I did this at a show we played last night, and it sounds just... wicked. And you are right, nothing beats grabbing those knobs and just working those delays for what they're worth.

Greetings from Richmond! It's been a while since Myspace and really appreciating these production vids! I remember Mr. Key mentioning this unit in early SP interviews. I feel the same about my Boss SE-70 effects processor haha which I believe they may have used on TG and things. I haven't messed with this one but it's always amazing how much can be done with delay and enough imagination. Thanks

Like a lot of people commenting, I've been looking for one for a while, but the prices now are through the roof (for a good reason, as you demonstrate). I've recently seen the OTO BIM delay. It emulates those early 'good' digital delays and even has a (switchable) limiter section. I'm not sure how it compares in an A/B with a PCM-42, but it appears to be one of the closest alternatives around at the moment.

So, given a PCM42 would be really pricy, even if you could find one, and old enough to by risky in terms of maintenance… is there a modern alternative with at least has a similar limiting behaviour? (To Ken, any of you, and for me to research…)

Nothing that i know of, why companies don't make more of this is beyond me. They're obviously still in high demand. I'd like to see Korg remake the SDD-1000, in it's original form, NOT a pedal, like they did with the 3000. The SDD-1000 is probably the most affordable of the classic digital delays, but it's no PCM41/42. But they still sound great, and sampling!
