Sixteen seconds delay vintage Compact, inspired by the original looping delay from 1983.

Device topology is the same as first digital delays from that era, with an all-analog signal path, pre emphasis and de emphasis, compression and expansion , antialias and reconstruction filtering and input output buffering and mixing. Digital processing is limited only to analog to digital conversion , memory management and storage and digital to analog conversion , all in glorious eight bits .

Theres also an analog triangle Low Frequency Oscillator for modulating delay time/pitch , and a click metronome generator,also analog driven by the memory read circuit , with level and independent output. Maximum delay time is 16 seconds,just like the original unit there are toggle switches for slow/fast speed/pitch and reverse playback.

On board footswitches control infinite/freeze from the delay buffer , and bypass for the whole unit. Slider illuminated controls are delay time coarse, delay time fine , sweep rate and depth , feedback and mix. Proudly hand built in Uruguay, by Manecolabs also creators for the Grone Drone machine Eurorack, Tabletop and Pedal drone generators among others.

Features

• Simple operation: Each slider and switch has a dedicated function with no hidden modes or menus. The pedal functions as a long delay at maximum settings or a typical delay at shorter settings.
• Compact design: Adapted for modern pedalboard spaces.

Controls

• Delay Coarse Slider:
• Controls the size of the memory block used for the delay.
• Maximum delay times:
• 16 seconds (FAST setting).
• 32 seconds (SLOW setting).
• Approximate values depend on clock circuit tolerances.
• Delay Fine Slider:
• Adjusts the sampling rate for smooth changes in time and pitch.
• Range: shortest to longest times, corresponding to highest to lowest pitches.
• Sweep Speed Slider:
• Sets the speed of the triangle waveform Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO).
• Includes an LED indicator for visual feedback.
• Sweep Depth Slider:
• Adjusts the intensity of LFO modulation to the sampling rate.
• From subtle pitch variations to dramatic effects.
• Mix Feedback Slider:
• Controls regeneration by recirculating the delay output back to the input.
• High settings cause oscillation (runaway feedback).
• Mix Blend Slider:
• Mixes dry and delayed signals.
• Range: 0% (dry) to 100% (wet).
• Slow/Fast Switch:
• Changes the sampling rate to half or double.
• Affects time and pitch:
• Slow: One octave down (longer time).
• Fast: One octave up (shorter time).
• Forward/Reverse Switch:
• Plays back memory contents in reverse.
• Note: This is not a typical “reverse delay”. Instead, the behaviour depends on overdubbing:
• A new layer over a reversed one will play forward.
• Switching reverse again will invert the previous layers and the new recording.
• Infinite Footswitch:
• Acts as a “freeze” or “hold” control.
• Prevents new recording while the existing memory content loops indefinitely.
• Bypass Footswitch:
• Mutes the delay signal output without stopping recording.
• Enables “record while bypassed” functionality.
