Strymon Introduces Brig dBucket Organic Delay

Jul 31, 2023

Strymon's Brig dBucket organic delay is designed to be a simple-yet-flexible pedal that offers classic “bucket brigade” analog delay sounds.

The sound of analog bucket brigade delays (BBDs) is classic for a reason, offering warm tones and a distinctive and organic gooey-ness to the repeats that is unlike any other kind of circuit design. The new Brig dBucket Delay pedal from Strymon recreates all of the signature behavior that these classic chips deliver while offering greater flexibility, power, and performance - you really can play the repeats like an instrument.

​Brig offers three different BBD voices accessible by a 3-way toggle switch (labeled 3205, 3005, and Multi)based on different types of classic bucket brigade circuits, offering you everything from gritty repeats and sci-fi psychedelia to soft and dreamlike soundscapes you can float on top of. Warm bucket brigade modulation gives your repeats exciting movement, and at the shortest delay times works as a killer standalone BB chorus pedal too!

The Brig pedal also offers a Filter control knob that allows you to shape the tone of repeats with an enhanced degree of creativity and precision.

​Add in full stereo i/o, TRS MIDI, 300 presets, USB C for DAW MIDI control and firmware updates, a discrete JFET analog input circuit for unrivaled feel and touch response, and seamless tap temp behavior that allows you both artifact-free tempo tapping or bucket brigade chaos when you tweak the Time knob, and you have a seriously powerful BBD workstation in a compact form factor.

Brig carries a $259 street price.
