Our warm, organic delay, reimagined through the artwork of The Simpsons artist John Achenbach.

The Delay Llama mk.3 is an all-analog BBD delay that adds warm, organic repeats without obscuring the sound and touch of your instrument. Its tape-like character, simple three-knob layout and 600 ms maximum delay time make it equally suited to subtle depth, classic slapback and spacious rhythmic echoes.

Tap tempo with three subdivisions brings modern control to the circuit, while the HOLD function pushes the repeats into expressive self-oscillation. Choose true bypass for a completely direct signal path or buffered trails bypass for repeats that fade naturally after the effect is switched off. It works beautifully with guitar and bass.

About Delay Llama:

Analog repeats
BBD chips modelled after the Panasonic MN3205 produce warm repeats that blend naturally with the dry signal. Maximum delay time is 600 ms.

Controls

  • Time sets delay time; Repeats controls feedback; Level sets the repeats above the dry signal.
  • The subdivision toggle selects eighth notes, quarter notes or dotted eighth notes.

Tap tempo and HOLD
Tap the right footswitch at least twice to set tempo. Keep it pressed to engage HOLD/self-oscillation for as long as the switch is held.


True bypass or trails
The pedal ships in true-bypass mode. To select buffered trails bypass, disconnect power, hold TAP, reconnect power and release after three LED blinks. Repeat the process to return to true bypass; two blinks confirm the change.

Internal adjustment
One trimmer sets the maximum number of repeats. A second sets the trails fade-out time in buffered-bypass mode.

"l've always been a fan of analog delays and the Delay Llama has aΙΙ the warmth Ι love with vintage analog units but gives me more flexibility and Ionger delay times. It does that magic thing that vintage analog delays do, it sits around your tone and doesn't get in the way. Just α beautiful, warm and lush delay.!"

"A llama variant will always be my analog delay moving forward. Best new production analog delay there is as far as I’m concerned."

"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!"
