Strymon Brig Small Format dBucket Delay: Certified Organic Echo
The delays that become true classics do not simply repeat the notes you play; they evoke feelings, fuel the music, and inspire you. Plug into Brig, play a note, and be instantly drawn in by repeats that evolve with captivating complexity and rich tonal characteristics. Brig delivers all the warmth, subtle grit, and unique tactile playing experience of analog bucket brigade delays (BBDs), offering three distinct delay voicings in one highly addictive stereo pedal.
Three Delays in One
Brig's stunning dBucket sound generation provides three meticulously crafted analog delay voicings:
- 3205 Voice: Delivers gritty repeats that morph as they feed back, creating sounds ranging from gorgeous slapback echoes to psychedelic sci-fi effects.
- 3005 Voice: Recreates a dual MN3005 BBD chip circuit for longer delay times and warm repeats with a soft, dreamlike quality.
- Multi Voice: Features two cross-coupled, super-clean dBucket delay lines with golden ratio timing, creating complex soundscapes and a huge stereo soundfield that remains musical and clean even on the edge of self-oscillation.
Deceptively Powerful
Brig offers immense power and flexibility in an elegantly small form factor:
- Three Distinct Delay Voices: 3205, 3005, and Multi.
- Artifact-Free Tap Tempo: Allows seamless tempo tapping without pitch shifting, clicks, ramps, or mutes.
- Stereo Operation: Ensures expansive soundscapes.
- Responsive Controls: Includes modulation individually voiced for each delay type.
- Expression Pedal Capability: Control any knob or combination of knobs, saveable per preset.
- High-Quality Components: Premium build with rugged construction.
- USB Jack: For MIDI control and firmware updates.
Artifact-Free Tap Tempo
Modern technology allows for artifact-free tap tempo, ensuring smooth transitions without pitch shifting or mutes. You can confidently tap your tempos while keeping all the unique bucket brigade pitch-shifting effects available through the Time knob.
Magic Modulation
Brig's modulation is carefully tuned for each delay type to create lush, beautiful effects at any delay time or modulation speed. The modulation produces fantastic stereo effects, even with the 3205 and 3005 voices. Set the 3205 voice to its minimum 30ms delay time and turn up the modulation for bucket brigade chorus effects.
Play the Feedback
Brig faithfully reproduces the feedback effects of classic bucket brigade delays. The smooth, responsive controls and dBucket sound engine invite you to experiment with repeats, Time knob adjustments, and filter tweaks for vintage sci-fi psychedelia. Each delay voicing has distinct feedback characteristics for tailored soundscapes.
Optional Noise
The subtle noise of bucket brigade analog delay repeats adds a dreamlike quality, especially with the 3005 voice. This noise can be dialed out by turning the filter knob clockwise past 2 o'clock if preferred.
MIDI Integration
Full MIDI implementation allows remote control of switches, knobs, and settings via MIDI commands from a controller or DAW through Brig's EXP/MIDI jack or USB-C connection. Delay time synchronization via MIDI Clock Sync and 300 MIDI preset locations for saving and loading favorite settings.
Premium Hardware
An ultra-low-noise discrete analog JFET input circuit ensures superb responsiveness, with selectable mono to mono, mono to stereo, or stereo to stereo I/O via a rear panel switch. The ARM DSP chip provides processing power for every sonic nuance while drawing less energy from your pedalboard power supply.
