Delay Llama

Product Overview

A fully analog lo-fi Delay pedal with a maximum delay time of 600ms. It is featuring BBD analog chips, faithful reproductions of the Panasonic MN3205.

Give your repeats a great vintage analog tone !

The Delay Llama is also featuring a blue rectangular internal trimmer that helps you adjust the amount of maximum repeats. Clockwise motion reduces maximum repeats.

Delay Llama+ version :

With the use of the extra HOLD switch and expression pedal, you can turn the Delay Llama into a psychedelic sound generator !

HOLD momentary switch: While holding the switch down, your repeats turn into an infinite oscillation loop !

Expression pedal input: Plugging our expression pedal in, you can adjust the Delay Time (Caution: unfortunately not any expression pedal can be used). The Expression Pedal is sold seperately for 40€.

"Around 1980 many of us got into bucket brigade delays, little analog echo boxes. They were a lot less trouble than tape and disc echos. I loved them and the sound imprinted in my mind. Then digital arrived, and as we played with the magical bells and whistles, we slowly noticed that it didn't always feel right. In 2010 I plugged into the bucket brigade Delay Llama and thirty years fell away. I'm home. It feels good." Adrian Legg

"The Delay Llama+...great! So cool to actually have a "real" analog delay...where it does some more unexpected..out of control things....This is cool ! Bill Frisell

"The quality of the delays in Delay Llama+ are beatiful and warm !" John Abercrombie

"I quickly dialed up a Rockabilly slap back that sounded very organic - very similar like my old tape Echoplex (without the squeaking analog tape!). Usually getting a slap back echo is tricky, especially on my Line 6, but because of the 3 knob design, I quickly got the setting. And it's the best I've ever heard. I proceeded to getting some deep space sounds easily too. My girlfriend can borrow my Line 6, I'm converting to Delay Llama!" Jim Campilongo

"Delay Llama+ just sounds incredible ! It's probably the best sounding delay pedal, I've ever used. The HOLD switch is really cool ! " Kenny Wayne Shepherd

"My Delay Llama+ is always on! Whether adding lush, ambient delay, sparkly slap-back, or all out space delay insanity, the Llama does it all with a classic analog warmth that isn't possible in units costing twice the price. The "Hold" button not only provides for whacky, unearthly tape effect sounds, but it is musical and has already made a few producers smile with wide-eyed surprise." Ricky Z.
