Strymon Brig Multi-voice dBucket Delay Pedal

<h2>Strymon Brig Multi-voice dBucket Delay Pedal</h2> <p>The second in Strymon&rsquo;s line of scaled-down stompboxes, the Brig multi-voice dBucket stereo delay pedal comes loaded with three masterfully emulated analog delay emulations based on iconic bucket brigade configurations in stompbox history. From the gritty 3205 to the dreamy 3005 to the cross-coupled complexity of Multi, these three voices produce a multitude of exceptionally analog-authentic tones to discover. Once you&rsquo;ve chosen your voice, the Brig offers an intuitive array of knobs to sculpt your sound, including delay-standard time/repeats/mix controls, a distinctive Filter knob to adjust the sound of your repeats, and even modulation knobs that are uniquely tuned to complement each voice. And, like all Strymon&rsquo;s world-class creations, the Brig is packed to the brim with a mind-blowing array of top-class utility features, boasting artifact-free tap tempo, full MIDI integration (including 300 onboard presets), an expression pedal input, USB-C, and a flexible array of switchable mono/stereo configurations. Straight-ahead stompbox workflow with the same industry-defining sonics of a big-box Strymon &mdash; the Brig is an extraordinarily versatile do-it-all delay that perfectly captures the dark, moody mystique of classic bucket brigade delay.</p> <h3>One brig, three buckets</h3> <p>While the Brig clearly takes a few tonal cues from Strymon&rsquo;s beloved Brigadier delay pedal (<em>now discontinued</em>), the Brig is very much its own analogue-flavored beast. From ghostly echoes to grit-laden repeats, the Brig&rsquo;s trio of analog-style voices cover a level of sonic ground by expertly emulating sought-after bucket brigade analog chips in guitar pedal history.</p> <ul class="webtext-block--colcount"> <li><strong>3205:</strong>&nbsp;From simple slapback to gooey walls of psychedelic echoes, this voice captures the sound of an old-school analog with a capital &ldquo;A.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s a supremely warm analog delay tone that beautifully develops and descends as it feeds back.</li> <li><strong>3005:</strong> This setting is based on a dual MN3005 bucket brigade chip, granting you a cleaner and softer voice with more delay time on tap. 3005 will surely be your go-to if you&rsquo;re after soft, ambient dreamscapes. And while all three settings sport a touch of noise for true analog authenticity (easily dialed out with a twist of the filter knob), Strymon says&nbsp;that 3005 is intentionally designed with even more atmospheric noise to aid you in your dreamy sonic escapades.</li> <li><strong>Multi:</strong>&nbsp;Finally, the Multi setting combines two cross-coupled dBucket delay lines with a pristinely clean sound and golden ratio timing. In plain English, Multi is your one-stop shop for complex and rhythmic soundscapes, enveloping walls of ping-pong stereo delay, and wild self-oscillating experimentation.</li> </ul> <h3>Myriad modulation possibilities</h3> <p>Delay and modulation &mdash; it&rsquo;s a must-have effect pairing that stretches back to the early days of stompbox delays. Fittingly, the Brig comes equipped with its own dedicated modulation knob, fine-tuned to pair with each of the three voices. Whether you&rsquo;re looking craft lush, watery repeats or impart a lively sense of movement to your echoes, the Brig&rsquo;s masterfully designed modulation never fails to impress. Plus, in classic Strymon fashion, the Brig offers a unique &ldquo;secret&rdquo; feature &mdash; turn down the delay time on 3205 and crank up the modulation to unlock a rich bucket-brigade-style chorus!</p> <h3>Artifact-free tap tempo and hands-free expression/MIDI control</h3> <p>Perfect for adjusting your repeats and rhythms in real time, the Brig boasts a full-featured, artifact-free tap tempo, accessed by holding down the footswitch. Tap tempo can often be challenging to integrate into an all-analog delay design. However, as a digital analog emulation pedal, the Brig offers effortless tap tempo with nary a click, ramp, or mute. If you&rsquo;re after greater in-the-moment control, plug in your favorite expression pedal, or you can even harness the power of the Brig&rsquo;s formidable MIDI functions!</p> <h3>Pedalboard-friendly enclosure</h3> <p>While the Brig may clock in at a significantly smaller size than your typical Strymon box, don&rsquo;t be fooled: this pedal boasts the same world-class build and industry-defining tone as any of its full-size Strymon siblings. A discrete JFET analog front end, stereo input/output, and full MIDI functionality allow the Brig to hang with any top-end delay pedal on the market. Next, an electromechanical relay-switched true bypass operation delivers a 100% uncolored signal when the pedal is not in use; you can also swap the Brig to buffered bypass mode to beef up a long signal chain. Lastly, the Brig grants you access to full MIDI and USB functionality for remote control via your DAW or controller, with 300 MIDI preset locations available to save your favorite settings.</p> <h2>Features:</h2> <ul class="webtext-block--colcount"> <li>The second of Strmyon&rsquo;s scaled-down stompbox offerings, giving you industry-defining Strymon sounds in a pedalboard-friendly format</li> <li>3 masterfully crafted analog-voiced emulations of 3 iconic bucket brigade delay configurations</li> <li>Takes you from bog-standard delays to modded-out ethereal soundscapes with the tweak of a few knobs</li> <li>World-class discrete stereo JFET analog input circuit gives you a touch-sensitive feel and crisp response</li> <li>Modulation knob that&rsquo;s fine-tuned to excel with each of the 3 delay voices</li> <li>Filter knob adjusts the response of your repeats, from ultra-dark to bright and precise</li> <li>Intuitive Time/Repeats/Mix controls will be familiar to any delay enthusiast</li> <li>Artifact-free tap tempo, accessed by holding the footswitch</li> <li>Full MIDI integration gives you real-time control of the Brig&rsquo;s parameters and 300 onboard presets</li> <li>Expression pedal input for in-the-moment control</li> <li>Stereo I/O, with mono-to-mono, mono-to-stereo, and stereo-to-stereo operation</li> <li>USB-C plug allows for easy firmware updates and MIDI control</li> <li>32-bit floating-point processing; incredibly low-noise 24-bit, 96kHz A/D and D/A converters</li> <li>Analog dry path provides a zero latency dry signal</li> <li>+8dBu max input level accommodates both instrument and line-level signals</li> <li>True bypass construction with electromechanical relay switching keeps your sound clean and clear</li> <li>Selectable trails mode and analog buffered bypass</li> <li>Heavy-duty anodized aluminum chassis is ready to meet the rigors of the road</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p>
