I bought mine in 2001-2 and I’m sure the max delay used to be a little over half a second. Just done a rough count against my watch and I’d say it’s pretty much exactly a third of a second now. Even a couple of years ago I’m sure it was longer (as the Bishop said etc)
Repeats are still pretty clear (for analogue) and there’s no distortion or graininess/pixelation even at max delay. Noise levels are pretty much what they always were. In short, no complaints about actual sound quality.
I’ve not had it serviced since I bought it new - is it likely that voltages/values etc have drifted and caused max available delay to decrease? I’m planning to take it along to Guitar Aid in Putney to see if a service/calibration can give it another 200ms or so.
Have to admit my curiosity is piqued for the 1100TT...

I do hope they can squeeze a tiny bit longer out of the DMM without changing the sound - though I’ll love it just as much if not.
A few years back I sent my Peal analog delay up to Martin at Owen Electronics. He recapped it, repaired the dodgy power connector, and it came back sounding better and longer than ever before. I'm sure your DMM will go the same way once it's been serviced.
Funnily enough I sent a BB DMM to Guitar Aid a few weeks ago. I bought the pedal on TFB and when it arrived it was not working.....sadly not the first time I've bought something on here that's not worked correctly.... must be the post office!
Anyway guitar Aid repaired the faults & recalibrated the pedal for £31
@heartfeltdawn recommended Martin at Owen Electronics, I have also sent some pedals to him before & recieved 1st class service.
He fixed/replaced the switches on my old DOD PDS delay when several others could not.
