Korg DL-8000R (late 1990s)
Not much information survives on the Korg DL-8000R, but the period press gives a decent sketch. It was a rackmount multi-tap delay / multi-effects processor. Mix (September 1998, p.152) field-tested it alongside a companion unit, the AM8000R. Studio Sound (November 1997, p.32) received it as a dedicated delay-effects box. In the UK it retailed for £469. Sound on Sound (January 1998, p.36) listed its pros as "easy to use" and "bags of delay time", which suggests generous delay capacity in a straightforward package.
Known from the reviews:
- Multi-tap delay / multi-effects processor, rackmount
- UK price: £469
- Companion unit: AM8000R (tested together by Mix)
Beyond those late-1990s reviews, almost nothing is recorded about the DL-8000R's architecture, controls, or production run. If you have a manual or service notes, this model could use them.
