MEET THE BEE BEE DEE. An analog delay designed to do everything you love about classic echoes, and everything you didn't know an analog delay could do. At its core are two bucket brigade chips delivering warm, rich, musical repeats with unmistakable character. But behind that analog path is a smart control system, a digital engine that lets you bend time, shift pitch, and move your sound in ways no vintage circuit ever could. 3 DELAY MODES From classic to creative. CLASSIC MODE Smooth, familiar and timeless. This is the delay sound we all know and love, warm, musical, and full of character. Classic Mode delivers true BBD tone with smooth sine-wave modulation that gently moves around your repeats. You get up to 600ms of clean delay, sitting around 1 o’clock on the TIME knob. DEPTH sets how deep it goes. ACTIVITY sets how fast it moves. LO-FI MODE Think tape warble + tone modulation. Lo-Fi Mode takes the BBD sound and pushes it into stranger territory. The repeats are darker, grittier, and more unpredictable, a little noisier, a little moodier, and full of life. The modulation here is irregular, constantly shifting both delay time and tone. What makes it unique is how it also modulates the TONE filter, making your repeats get brighter and darker as they echo and drift. DEPTH sets delay time warbles while tone always modulate from bright to dark. ACTIVITY sets how often delay time warbles and tone modulation. PITCH MODE Harmony in motion. A creative partner. Pitch Mode turns delay into a musical instrument. Your echoes shift in pitch, creating harmonies, rhythmic patterns, and unexpected textures. It’s driven by a softened square-wave modulation, gently gliding delay time up and down in rhythmic steps. The movement stays locked to tempo, making it feel tight, reactive, and alive. DEPTH selects between 9 pitch options including 2 note pitches and a random. ACTIVITY selects the subdivision it will pitch up and down. Always synced to the delay time. 3 PERFORMANCE FEATURES Select the function for the performance footswitch. Everything moves when you do. Jump an octave in a heartbeat and land where the echo takes you. • TAP or HOLD to double the delay speed. • Also shifts the feedback line up or down one octave • Holding returns to normal when released ideal for quick pitch tricks. Set your tempo or shift it mid-flight. • TAP to set delay time • HOLD + TURN ACTIVITY to select tap division. Drop into modulation. Or pull out clean. Your call. • TAP or HOLD to toggle modulation on/off – momentary or latches • Use it like a mod preset: keep your base delay clean, then engage your dialed-in modulation when needed • Especially dramatic in PITCH MODE, where mod ON/OFF flips the entire sonic mood
