Analogue Delays

Analogue Delays create echo and time-based effects using analogue circuitry, often through bucket-brigade devices (BBDs) or tape-based mechanisms. Known for their warm, natural sound and musical degradation, these units are prized in both vintage and modern production. This category includes rackmount and pedal-based delays used in mixing, live performance, and creative sound design.
