The PCM 41 used 8-bit companding (essentially a low-resolution, noise-shaped system) with a variable sample rate. It didn’t sound clean like a modern digital delay. It sounded thick . Delays would degrade rapidly, losing high-end information with each repeat, turning into a warm, fuzzy wash.

Inspired by the earlier Lexicon Prime Time (M93), it captures the same "dirty" and warping digital character found in the PCM 41. Performance Trick: The "Pseudo-Stereo" Widener
