July 1, 2023 · 1 sources

Electronic Audio Experiments released V1 firmware for the Sending in July 2023, according to the firmware changelog on the pedal's product page¹. The entry lists only "Original release"¹.

The firmware arrived alongside a hardware revision. The same page's hardware changelog dates Version 2 to July 2023 and describes it as a "Complete circuit overhaul. Consider this the new starting point."¹ Version 1 of the hardware is dated Summer 2018, with "only 55 units built"¹.

The Sending is a digitally controlled analog delay built around two MN3005 bucket brigade devices. The maker says it can delay a sound up to a full second without clock noise, and can be pushed to longer times¹. A 32-bit, 100MHz processor handles preset storage and MIDI access to every parameter¹. The feature list includes tap tempo with subdivisions, a hold mode for feedback swells, an LFO engine with sine, square and triangle waves plus a Chaos function, an insert loop for processing repeats, 32 presets (3 from the front panel, the rest via MIDI), a CV/expression input and a TRS MIDI input¹. The Time control covers under 5ms to 1 second¹. Power draw is 350 to 380mA at 9VDC, and the pedals do not accept batteries¹.

The page lists the Sending at $649.00 and marks it "Temporarily Unavailable"¹. It also lists a later firmware, V2, dated November 2024, with new units shipping with v2 beginning with Serial Number #508¹.
