Maybe I’m jumping the gun in putting this out there, but I think it will help hold my feet to the fire and get it done quicker. I was waiting a bit to have it a little more done to hope that others wouldn’t clone it, but if Behringer is going to steal it then they are going to do so no matter what patents are in place. Everyone else is a little more respectable.
Apologies for not having a ‘real’ website for this product yet. I will have one soon. This is even lamer since I work for a web consulting company as my day-job.
I will be releasing an Analog Multiband delay guitar pedal shortly, hopefully before 2008.
The pedal will be (tentative to change):
-100% analog BBD design
-Have three delay bands (high, mid and low)
-Have individually controllable delay times, and feedback
-Have 3 LFOs to modulate either the delay/feedback of each band
-True Bypass switching
-No cost spared in making this sound great.
-Designed around the Cool Audio 3205 BBD chips. MN3005 mod possible if you can provide 4-6 MN3005 chips.
-No tap tempo, no battery power
-Still working on figuring out the best max delay time per band. Low band will have more delay time than high/mid
-In case you haven’t figured out, this is at least 12 knobs. I am working to make sure that the pedal is not confusing however. Likely in a Hammond 1590-DD case. Maybe something just a little bigger
-Sound clips coming soon.
-All hand made, assembled in the USA.
-Through hole construction.
There are still a few surprises around the corner. There will be options eventually (working on details) for hand painted cases, vs standard cases.
The price will be more than a Line 6 DL-4 and less than a Toneczar. Somewhere likely towards the middle of that range.
If you have any wishes/wants/desires for such a pedal email me at tibbon AtNoSpam gmail.com or leave comments below.
I have no name for this pedal yet. I am open to suggestions. I will be at AES and if you are lucky (that meaning if I am done) and ask nicely, I may have a prototype with me to show.
