- Among the annals of vintage music studio gear lust, you’ll hear one piece of equipment talked about more than almost any other when speaking of delays: the Lexicon Prime Time model 93.
It took me years to track one down, and once I did, it took me about 9 months to get it serviced from a technician. Once I got it back and started using it, I could appreciate what all the hype was about.
But Why?
• It was among the first digital delays available in 1978. Before that, there was only tape delay, bucket brigade (BBD), and Oil Can Delays
• 128ms and then 256ms was both expensive and flexible, allowing for precise dialing of effects
• Modulation gave chorus, flange, phase, and typical multi-tap delay
• The Prime Time was dual delay, super programmable, and looked like a synthesizer
Let's take a listen to some of the ways it could be used and abused

beautiful, some kind of "synthesizer", I have a Korg SDD-1000 and it does some similar things, but the audio on this Lexicon is delicious
It sure is! Make sure you check out the video demo I did vs. the SoundToys Primal Tap; their emulation is stunning!
Super cool unit! I believe Daniel Lanois still use it, both in the studio and for live shows. Hardware rules! ; )
Yup, amazing and inspiring to watch, for sure.
Hola Shane - this just popped up on my feed out of nowhere. Wonderful unit!
woohoo! wait til you see what i've been doing since this!
Sounds amazing. Very musical.
Thats a good point... can a delay be "musical"? Or does it depend on what goes into it? Or does it depend on how you treat whats delaying, once its inside the delay? I'm not sure, but whatever magic they put into it, they did it right, even if it was accidental (or all they could do given the technology of the time)
Funny enough, your reverb listing just brought me here…45 min after you posted this 😅
Amazing! I don't WANT to sell it, but bills! ....Part 2 coming ASAP!
excellent demo!
Thanks! I tried to show it in a useful way how someone might dial in a sound.
