Strymon has posted some shots of their demo pedalboard from the 2010 NAMM show last week. Looks like there is a previously unannounced reverb and also a chorus on there. From the site: “Introducing the Strymon blueSky reverberator and the Ola dBucket chorus / vibrato. We are swamped trying to get these done but we promise we’ll have more details, pictures, videos in the days to come. Please stay tuned and check this section of the website often!”
Also,here is a closeup of their upcoming Orbit flanger which will feature thru zero flanging among other things.
Strymon has just announced a preview of a new delay pedal on their web site blog. It’s called the BBD and is a DSP based implementation of an analog delay with true bypass and tap tempo.
from the site: “BBD takes the compact aluminum chassis and form factor developed for the OB.1 and crams in a TON of DSP horsepower … more than has ever existed in such a compact pedal. We love analog delays but at the same time they pose some serious limitations. So, we decided to take a super powerful SHARC DSP and dedicate to doing one thing and one thing only … delivering the best analog bucket brigade delay sound ever.”
Damage Control has just posted a new 2009 promo video for their well regarded TimeLine delay. The video goes through some, but not all of the features … dotted 1/8th, modulation, multitap delay, pingpong and reverse.
Rare prototype of a flat green (not the production sparkle green) MXR Carbon Copy analog Delay.
Not everyone knows this but inside the chassis are two trim pots which let you dial in rate an depth for the delay modulation. This is preset at the factory and mod is only externally available on the pedal as an on/off switch. Cool that they made the adjustment semi user accessible internally rather than fixed.
My ADA is one of my most beloved pieces of gear. It’s analog flanging is pretty much unmatched by any device since. I’ve never heard a plug-in or digital emulation that came close. If you ever have a chance to buy one and the price isn’t insane…DO IT! There was also a re-issue products briefly in the 90’s but I don’t have any first hand experience playing one. Classic bucket brigade circuitry.
Especially cool to integrate with an analog synth since it also has voltage control!
