Delay BRIGADE is Arturia’s love letter to the legendary BBD – or “bucket brigade device” – that created a revolution in time-based modulation effects. During the 70s, more and more audio effects turned to the compact, reliable BBD technology to create chorus and flange effects, but it really shined in creating an iconic, filtered lo-fi delay sound that’s still loved by musicians and music lovers to this day.
One of the first, and certainly the greatest BBD delays was the Memory Man, and the slightly redesigned Deluxe Memory Man created by effects pioneers Electro-Harmonix in the mid-70s. Guitarists and record engineers loved its unique sound: a dark, filtered bark that was worlds apart from traditional tape delays. We based the Delay BRIGADE on this legendary pedal, so you can enjoy its driven feedback and “rusty” tone in your own productions.
Using our exclusive TAE and Phi modelling technologies, we have analyzed many classic BBD circuits that made this effect so famous, and created an authentic, analog-sounding tribute to these vintage legends.
The legendary Electro-Harmonix pedal has been used by countless famous and influential musicians for over half a century, from guitar royalty to experimental producers alike. It’s graced the pedalboards of Dave “The Edge” Evans, Omar Rodríguez-López, Dave Grohl, Joe Perry, and Eric Johnson. It’s essential to the production of electronic artists like Tobacco and KiNK. It’s adored by contemporary visionaries like Jack Conte and Feist. How will you use this awesome BBD?
Random delay time
Thanks to the new, tasy modulation abilities, you can easily make sounds like this: using the LFO to manipulate both delay times.
EQ modulation
This sound uses random modulations on the LFO to zip the EQ’s peak frequency around all over the place, easily done in this powerful plug-in.
Stereo Vibrato
The new stereo controls let you add bit width to your sound, just like in this electric piano example. Instant space and air.
