Pollinated repeats, endless textures. The Pollinator Hazee Delay is a hive full of evolving delay textures. At its core, it’s a modulated delay where the repeats are shaped by either a filter or a tremolo, depending on the selected mode, allowing each repeat to bloom, shift, and evolve beyond a traditional delay. Eight modes, endless beehavior. There are 8 modes. Some run the delay forward, others in reverse. Some push the repeats an octave up, and there are even two special Queen Bee modes that unlock more experimental beehaviors. Simple controls. Deep interaction. Each mode unlocks a wide range of sounds, where small adjustments can dramatically reshape the delay, from subtle motion to dense, hazee textures. Eight ways to shape the repeat. Forward or reverse, octave up or fundamental, filtered or trembled, mixed with the dry signal or fully wet — 8 modes designed for endless texture. Blurring delay and sound design. Unlike anything else in the hive, the Hazee Delay creates textures, ambiences, and rhythmic movement that blur delay, modulation, and sound design. Common Questions Is it analog or digital? This is our first fully digital bee. While we’ve used digital control before, the Hazee Delay processes the signal digitally, letting us do things that simply aren’t possible in analog land. What makes this delay modulation different? Most modulated delays wiggle the delay time, which makes the repeats pitch up and down. Hazee does it differently. The signal is modulated first, by a filter or tremolo, and then delayed. That means the repeats are actually copies of a moving, modulated sound, not just echoes with wobble. It’s a big part of why Hazee feels so textural. What are the Queen Bee special modes? (Modes 2 and 7) Extra honey. In these modes, the delay buffer is read twice as fast as it’s recorded, creating octave-up repeats with strange, musical rhythms. Turn the Delay Time knob past halfway and things start blending between the original signal and the octave layer. It’s weird, interactive, and honestly best understood by just playing it. Why no tap tempo? Because Hazee isn’t trying to be a “perfectly in time” delay. It’s more of a texture, ambience, and sound design tool. If you’re looking for locked-in repeats, this isn’t that. If you’re looking for movement and vibe, you’re home. Will there be more Pollinator pedals? Oh yeah. More bees are already pollinating at our hive, just wait.
