ANALOG DELAY- STRYMON Brig dBucket Delay ___ NEW ___ I hate Strymon but WTF!

STRYMON BRIG -dBucket delay-

$260.00 USD

I hated Strymon. The first pedals were massive, perfect sounding but

sterile and lifeless. They were like a beautiful women but she spent a half million on plastic surgery and 8 hours with a makeup artist. These pedals were half full 

of Shoegaze and SciFi sounds that were unusable in every song you knew or ever played.

Their second stage of products were medium size pedals with often two pedals in one that you often did not need the second pedal or the extra bulk and price you were forced to pay to get what felt like half a pedal.

This pedal is the 3rd generation, compact with one or two Sci Fi sounds but usable ones that could fit into a few average tunes that you already know. It has conventional sounds but these were borrowed more clone like of classic pedals everyone loves.

The layout is Time, Voice, Mix, Mod, and Filter. This gives you the two main NOS chips to nail the classic analog delays. You have modulation for doing a tape Delay thing, the Multi does the best of the Space Echo and Binson type of things. The old analog delays had a kind of dirt thing that trailed in the background. It was by luck very musical and added rather then annoyed. The filter lets you add that in if like me you find it fairy dust. Its a Styrmon so stereo, and MIDI are a given.

CONCLUSION __

You get the Ferrari but you get and pay for one that is street legal without paying 

double for the Le Mans model that you can only use once a year.

the fine print

The other small Strymon is the Cloudburst Reverb.  It can be set to a Room sound tame enough to be an always on verb. You can get an ambience thing that rivals anything out there. the major mind blower is it has another voice that acts like a Pad type String sections on the best guitar Synth. So like a synth it is not an effect like verb of delay that happens after you hit your strings but can be used just like a synth to play actual parts. So if you do a thing like Brian May where you play a Cinematic like theme you could literally do it with a string section. No other Verb can do this, zip... nothing!

So my point is between the Cloudburst and the Brig you have high end studio sounds that rival absolutely anything at any price and in two nice compact boxes.
