DELAY PEDALS

Vongon Polyphrase Stereo Echo

We were very proud to host the launch of the new Vongon Polyphrase at our 10th Brooklyn Stompbox Exhibit (yeah, after all what happened since our 2019 edition we kind of forgot that this was the event's ten year anniversary!). The Polyphrase is a stereo echo with an infinite feedback loop,…... Click for more

New Pedal: Old Blood Noise Setback Reverse Delay

OBNE killed the BL-44. Good. It deserved a proper successor. The Old Blood Noise Setback is that successor: a reverse delay that ditches the "textural" hedging of its ancestors (Rever, Minim, Parting) for something more surgical. It can drift off on its own or lock tight to MIDI clock. It can…... Click for more

Some reverbs announce themselves. The Catalinbread CB Paint whispers.

New Pedal: Umbrella Company Hume

The Japan-made Umbrella Company HUME is a spatial effects pedal designed to occupy the elusive territory between delay and reverb.

New Pedal: KHDK Electronics Digital Bath Modulated Delay

After years of relative quiet from the Dunlop-family brand, KHDK Electronics has reemerged with something unexpected . Not another high-gain monster for metalheads—though they've done those—but a filter-delay modulation pedal born from a two-year collaboration with Deftones' Chino Moreno. The Digital Bath takes its name and spirit from the White…... Click for more

TC Electronic Bucket Brigade Delay

Judging from the fanfare of the intro video below, one could think that (once) Danish company TC Electronic (now owned by the Scrooge of the music gear world) just invented the BBD chip - which is pretty much the only chip you'll find in any analog delay pedal ever made.…... Click for more

The Hungry Robot Moby Dickk has evolved significantly. Now in its third edition, this stereo tape-style delay expands from a straightforward (mono) five-knob emulation into a sophisticated eight-control workstation for textured, multi-headed echo . It is less a simple vintage replica and more a creative laboratory built around the warmth…... Click for more
