Audio examples
BBD-4A captures the warm, saturated character of classic bucket brigade delay hardware, reimagined as a versatile creative tool.
Four cascaded delay taps and six unique spacing modes open up a world of delay effects; from tight flanging, wide chorus and hard slapback to the sprawling rhythmic echos of multi-tap patterns. Each mode has its own musical feel; even spacing, Space Echo-inspired ratios, dense chorus clusters, and more.
Hit Hold to freeze the buffer and capture a moment in time. Loop it, pitch-shift it with Repitch modulation, or layer new material on top.
Each of the four taps has its own stereo output, perfect for quadraphonic setups, parallel processing, or feeding separate effects with naturally staggered timing.
Shape the input through soft saturation drive and a resonant state-variable filter. Add movement with dual-target LFO modulation. Color the repeats with two-band tone control. Widen the image with ping-pong stereo. Insert your favorite rack effects into the feedback path to create uniquely flavoured effects!
