The first compact analogue delays invented used bucket brigade chips to achieve the echo effect without the requirement for expensive and cumbersome tape machines, and quickly gained great popularity amongst guitarists. The bucket brigade delay became one of the defining sounds of '70s music. They are known for their warm tone which sits beautifully under any mix, as the high end degrades allowing you to play over the top without competing with the repeats. One of the most definitive bucket brigade delays also incorporated modulation into the circuit, adding width and depth to the repeats. The TC Electronic Bucket Brigade Analogue delay also incorporates switchable modulation so you can replicate those iconic sounds.
With up to 600ms delay time, this pedal is incredibly versatile, offering everything from classic slapback to long rhythmic delays. It packs in all of the features that made the vintage delay pedals so magical into a small and affordable enclosure!
