Electronic Audio Experiments announced the Sending V2, a digitally controlled analog delay, in July 2023. MusicRadar reported that it goes on sale at noon EST on Friday 18 July, while Delicious Audio reported it should be shipping towards the end of July 2023¹².

The pedal is based, like the original Sending released in 2018, on a pair of MN3005 reissue bucket brigade devices, with a 32-bit, 100MHz processor providing preset and MIDI control over every parameter²¹. EAE says it can delay a sound up to a full second without clock noise and can be pushed to longer times for what the maker calls "compelling sonic degradation"³. Delicious Audio reported that the full second of delay can be extended to 2 seconds, increasingly aliased, via tap tempo or MIDI².

The controls are seven knobs with doubled functions, accessed through a Shift press². MusicRadar gives the Time knob a range of 25ms to a second, while Delicious Audio lists delay time from under 5ms to 1 second¹². The secondary functions include tempo divisions, a 6dB volume trim, LFO rate, depth and waveform, and a Chaos mode that randomizes the LFO²¹. The dual-mode filter cuts lows or highs in the delay line². There are 3 presets on the front panel and up to 32 via MIDI, an insert loop, assignable expression control, and firmware updates through the MIDI jack²³. The Tap footswitch sets delay time and, held down, ramps feedback; the Engage footswitch toggles between trails and standard bypass when held¹.

The jacks are top-mounted: two 1/4 inch connections, a 1/4 inch EXP/CV input, a MIDI input and a TRS loop¹. The pedal takes 9V DC and draws 380mA, and EAE recommends a power supply rated 400mA or more¹. The US list price is $649¹³.
