The Dr. Scientist Sunny Day Delay is now in a second version, the Canadian builder's delay pedal based on the PT2399 chip, with a new tone control, mix knob and expression input in a smaller form factor than previous versions¹. Delicious Audio described it on August 10, 2023 as a compact update of a design whose original version, dating back to 2005, was almost twice as big².

According to Delicious Audio, the new version replaces the delay Level knob with a dry/wet Mix knob and adds Tone and Volume knobs not included in the original, plus a second footswitch that can trigger the modulation section or, used as a momentary switch, ramp the repeats to maximum². The expression input allows remote control of the Mix knob². Dr. Scientist lists the controls as Delay, Repeats, Tone, Mix, Mod Depth, Mod Rate and Volume, with a Mod/Osc footswitch and a Bypass footswitch¹. The maker gives the delay time as "nearly instant to just over a second" and the repeats as "1 to oscillating"¹.

Dr. Scientist lists an MSRP of $199 USD¹. The maker's product page gives a price of CA$ 258.70³. The maker describes the pedal as a re-issue of its original Sunny Day Delay and says it can be used with guitar, bass, synths and other instruments³.

The maker lists an all analog circuit and controls, a buffered input and output, and top mounted audio and power jacks, and says the pedal is designed and handmade in B.C., Canada¹.
