Electronic Audio Experiments released firmware V2 for the Sending analog delay in November 2024, according to the firmware changelog on the pedal's product page¹. The maker states that new units ship with v2 beginning with Serial Number #508¹.

The changelog lists a revamped LFO engine with improved tapering, more natural V/Oct pitch movement, continuously variable Shape, a clock sync mode and an arpeggio easter egg mode, plus a Modulation Matrix and a CV clocking mode¹. Swell mode received what the changelog calls major updates: adjustable feedback, an increased range of swell time, momentary activation in Trails mode and a new Hold mode¹. The update also brings improved clock accuracy and quality of life changes including reduced LED brightness and parameter resets¹.

The listed bug fixes cover reduced feedback in trails mode to eliminate bleed, preset loads via program change messages (sending a message twice now reloads the preset instead of exiting to the live panel state), a bypass state that did not save correctly, and occasional missed button presses¹.

The Sending is a digitally controlled analog delay built around two MN3005 bucket brigade devices, which the maker says can delay a sound up to a full second without clock noise and can be pushed to longer times for degradation¹. A 32-bit, 100MHz processor handles preset functionality and MIDI access to every parameter¹. The pedal has tap tempo with subdivisions, an insert loop in the feedback path, 32 presets (3 via the front panel, the rest via MIDI), a CV/expression input and a TRS MIDI input¹. It draws 350-380mA from a 9VDC supply and does not accept batteries¹. The page lists it at $649.00 and marked Temporarily Unavailable¹.
