The second result from the collaboration between Vox and Joe Satriani is here, it’s a delay effect, the first one was the Satchurator, and has a better name. The Vox Joe Satriani Time Machine Delay Pedal, called just like the album released by Satriani in 1993, is a multi-delay effect that has one of the biggest range of delay time I’ve ever seen, from 30ms to 6 seconds, all adjustable from the tap tempo footswitch, but let’s see the rest of the features.
The Vox Joe Satriani Time Machine Delay Pedal features two delay effects (called vintage, that emulates the sound of a tape echo delay, and modern), two EQ modes (hi-fi and lo-fi), level, delay, time and feedback controls, on/off and tap tempo (that holding it changes the delay mode) footswitches, EQ mode mini-toggle, mono input and wet and dry stereo outputs (fully independent), the device is powered by a 9V battery or a DC adapter. The 6 seconds delay time can only be set up by the footswitch, with the delay range control you can only set 125, 250, 500 or 1000 milliseconds.
Although the features look very good maybe they could have improved a little bit the design, the chicken-head knobs are cool but the pedal looks like a low-cost product from Behringer (with all my respect) and I don’t think it will have a low price. Talking about the price of the Vox Joe Satriani Time Machine Delay Pedal, it has not been announced, just like the release date, we will have to wait.
“but the pedal looks like a low-cost product from Behringer (with all my respect) and I don’t think it will have a low price” – Well I have both a Behringer DD400 Delay and a Satchurator (check out your spelling of it too)… You can tell which one is the one that costs 30 bucks and it ain’t the Vox.
Sounds like either you haven’t had a Satchurator on your hands or you are visually impaired. With all due respect. Also, the Satchurator while not cheap, it was not priced differently as a Crunchbox, not to mention other “boutique” pedals.
Grab one. Seriously. Then grab a Behringer.

I already have a Beringher but I don’t have a Time Machine nor a Satchurator (thanks for the spelling), would you send me one?
Only joking.
I said that because it looked like a very simple and cheap pedal, that doesn’t mean it’s a crappy device. The photo you link only confirms that looks like a simple pedal, but I’m sure it rocks.
Enjoy your gear.
