- Bucket Brigade analog delay pedals aren't just for echoing the signal that passes through them; they can produce some truly unusual sounds, especially if assisted by a digitally controlled clock which can rapidly alter the passage of charge through the BBD chips.

Colin, the link is to the "simple" version of the Delay Llama, not to the "Xtreme"
I used to take a "memory boy" and hook up a EV-5 pedal to it and dive... did a cool oscillating effect that way... sounds like a motorcycle driving past as it condenses or spreads the repeats (no expression pedal input option on this?) Edit: YES!, cool it does!
Hey hey Colin... greetings from Livermore, CA (home of the Giant Hedron Collider)...I have a rather cool vox pedal from the garage series years back called the Double Deca Delay... yes... it's got 3 BB circuits in it and does 2 delays you can stack on top of each other... long delay, short or both (pretty slick)... unfortunately it does not have an input for an expression pedal... do you think if I slightly altered the voltage going into the pedal that would have an effect on the sounds of the delays? it does have a modulation knob... ever played through it? I'm curious if you think my voltage altering could either destroy the pedal or perhaps make some cool sounds right before it destroys the pedal? I must know and you're the only one who can answer the question! Thanks man... for all you do... YOU ROCK ..and I hope to see more of your videos ...I've been missing them lately or you just haven't been posting a lot? Keeping it LOUD! 😎🎸❤️🎶🎼🐦
Holy shit, the explanation of how they work was crazy and hard to follow, but really cool to learn
In case you guys didn't know, Tom Scholz of Boston made the idea of the "spaceship" self oscillation/pitch shifting sound popular. Pretty sure he invented it but I could be wrong. He called his self made pedal the "hyperspace pedal" which you can look up. It's used only a handful of times on Boston's recordings but you can really hear him play it live. Amazing stuff.
How to make anyone feel like their tripping balls:
Step 1, use a delay pedal and fiddle with the time knob while playing
The Chase Bliss Thermae is also an analog BBD-based delay, but uses a PIC microcontroller to provide programmed "jumps" in clock speed to produce a sort of arpeggiated set of repeats, rather than a continuous pitch change.
In the late 1970s, Electro-Harmonix produced a rather bulky controller foot-pedal called the "Hot Foot". It used a flexible shaft, attached to the shaft of the foot-pedal pot at one end, that you could affix to the shaft of a pot on a pedal at the other end. The "killer app" for the unit was controlling the delay time on a Memory Man echo unit. Quickly sweeping the delay time, from either short to long, or long to short, yielded a pitch-bend sound we have come to equate with the Digitech Whammy pedal, but done entirely in the analog domain.
As for tape delay effects, one should note that the motors and drive mechanisms of tape machines were generally quite reliable. What was *less* reliable, however, was the tape itself. Maybe not the robust 2" stuff that studios would use, but the thinner 1/4" consumer-grade tape would often get stretched by coming to a sudden halt, after rewinding, or fast-forwarding. After all, that thin acetate or mylar could only withstand so much tugging by the drive motors. Whatever was recorded on the portion of stretched tape would now be distributed over a slightly longer distance, such that it would momentarily drop in pitch as the motors pulled the tape along during playback. One obviously could not *decrease* the length of tape, so the apparent upswing in pitch was really more *returning* to pitch after a momentary slowdown.
Happy Burns-Night hangover day!
Congratulations. You've just made every aspiring horror ambience writer cream their pants.
Finally! A simple yet thorough explanation! The explanation was pretty good and easy to understand even without much knowledge in physics and electronics. I learned so much, thanks Collin!
New video with my morning coffee. Today's going to be a good day!
i want one purely for the spaceship sounds
You can do that with the tc electronic flashback 2 on the analog mode with the mash button. I have one and it’s great
@@MrWillfish but this has a Llama on it!
@@Madchris8828 llama’s are epic. My bus hit one once
This is a pedal you really wanna have the expression pedal to go with.. Its great having 4 different setting saved at the tap of your foot PLUS you can just start tweaking the expression pedal to make spaceship sounds... this pedal will never leave my board
I have a feeling Ed O'Brien would have a field day with this pedal
You’re just the best at these kinds of explanations. 👍🏻
This is like Bill Nye the Science Guy for guitars and I love it
What a wonderfull sound-toy.
Inspirational !
Exvelrnt explanation of of the Bucket Brigate
One time my train got delayed and started self-oscillating
Great video Colin, thanks ! Jam Pedals kick ass ;-)
Well explained and the graphics work is killer. It's kind a funny how a graphical representation of circuitry with the sound makes a lot of things waaaay less arbitrary. Where were these in the early 00s when I needed them.
Stay safe
great info here sir.
amazing engineering
The only thing i'd change or add is a tone control to the repeats to brighten them up or a shimmer reverb for a similar effect. My only issue with traditional analog delay is that the repeats are quite dark sounding and i just love when things are arguably harsh and brittle sounding
This isn't possible without going digital. One thing you could try is to set up an effects loop with an analog delay fed into a pitch shifter. Set the analog delay full wet, and then adjust the wet dry mix of the pitch shifter to taste, as the dry signal of the pitch shifter is now just the un shifted wet signal of the delay. This of course gets mixed back into your dry signal. A Micro POG is a good option, as you get control over low, high and dry levels independently. Could be fun.
while i never could've explained analogue delays as flawlessly as colinman, i felt like i was back at school where i started to zone out when the hard facts and practical explanations about how it works started going on and on, and on... and on :D
10/10 would involuntarily nap again
Great!!!
That's a nice strap, Colin. My delay pedal will do some weird stuff when you twist knobs like that. Self-oscillation and all sorts of stuff. I paid $24 for it lol it claims to be an analog delay but it has a pt2399 chip in it so I'm not so sure.
Pt2344 chips are very cheap
That's a digital chip but very analog sounding. Some great boutique delays use them as well as cheap Chinese ones. I like them
@@benjaminfowler4513 yea that's what I was getting at. It's supposed to be the entire circuit built into that chip. Timing, the BBD, etc... But I wasn't sure if the were doing something like the Llama and using it just for the time-based portion. After taking another look in the pedal, I'm sure they aren't lol. It does make me wonder how many other "analog" delays aren't actually analog. What's funny is the digital delay from this company was like $19 more so I'm not exactly sure what the cost increase is for now, considering they're both digital delays.
@@JC-11111 it's actually pretty common for them to get called analog when they aren't lol it gets confusing for sure
Buckethead approves of this pedal and so do I... :) Great review and explanation of the workings!
That has a Llama on it. Im sold lol
Also thanks CZcams for not giving me a notification on this video 😑
That was a really great explanation of how digital timed delay works. Subscribe. BTW - did they sponsor the video or supply the product?
Ghost pokemon was a nice touch.
That last mode is pretty sick as though. Some Metroid noises or a si-fi horror vibe.
I shall attest his is a very viable video ... EXTREME!
just when you think they will run out of new twists on pedals. You could see where several sets of parallel BBD's with various modulations could create harmonics and even more crazy sounds. digital control of analog is near and dear to me in other ways. I have interest in synths, and the original disadvantage to the great analog sound was the manual patching. Now many synths are analog signal but digital control for saving settings, automation, external control, stability and effects, etc. this pedal could be expanded with more synth tricks too like a filter with modulation
The pedal that plays itself 9:40
G'day, mate, put another shrimp on the barbie!
I hope this was a joke and not plain ignorance of accents.
Blackstar Flys do all these effects by themselves when the batteries start to die.
Is this what the atari used for its sound effects? x.x
Man I just love this mans videos.
Im a moron so i barely know shit about this type of stuff.
This dude helps me learn a lot lol.
(Also i hope he grows his hair long again :'((((( looks cute both ways tho)
CV inputs with a CV sequencer would be interesting...
👍🏿🤘
At 9:10 you're just going for a spot on Doctor Who.
I have a TATA, does wood effect electric guitar tone?
Are you trying to start a war? Because this is how you start a war.
Asking a question that has been addressed ad infinitum is not a true TATA...
But then again CSGuitars seems to be the smartest/most educated guitar guy on the tube so it is possible his take on things might be a good video.
How about we ask if the kind of material the speaker cabinet is made out of matters?
I just asked because their is a lot of debating on this topic and we can all trust Colin
Besides isn't that what makes it a "TATA"?
someone is drinking smoky good whisky :D
LLAMA !!!!!!!🦙 alpaca lot of sounds into that Jam pedal!

This thing is $329 pounds...thats like 2 thousand dollars in Canadian rupees. No thanks.
I know right?! I want to buy JAM pedals but they are just too expensive over here!
@@colinfox2778 for that price I could hire someone to come to my house and make those sounds with their mouth 7 days a week.
