Strymon Brigadier Multi-voice dBucket Delay Pedal

While the Brig clearly takes a few tonal cues from Strymon’s beloved Brigadier delay pedal, the Brig is very much its own analog-flavored beast. From ghostly echoes to grit-laden repeats, the Brig’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.

• 3205: From simple slapback to gooey walls of psychedelic echoes, this voice captures the sound of an old-school analog with a capital “A.” It’s a supremely warm analog delay tone that beautifully develops and descends as it feeds back.
• 3005: 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’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 tells that 3005 is intentionally designed with even more atmospheric noise to aid you in your dreamy sonic escapades.
• Multi: 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.

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’re after greater in-the-moment control, plug in your favorite expression pedal, or you can even harness the power of the Brig’s formidable MIDI functions!
