Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The JAM Pedals Delay Llama XTREME is a hybrid analog/digital delay built around three MN3205 BBD chips for up to 800 milliseconds of warm analog delay time, with four onboard presets, tap tempo with subdivisions, a hold function, kill-dry, and switchable trails or true bypass. Beyond standard delay, it adds four XTREME modes discovered while experimenting with delay time: a Vibrato mode with sine-wave LFO depth and speed control, a Tape-Age mode that emulates the gentle random pitch warble of aging tape-echo machines, and a Pitch-Shift mode offering five groups of pitch-shifted intervals across five playback patterns, the last of which functions as a five-step sequencer. Despite its depth, the controls stay accessible on the surface. It suits players wanting a genuinely deep analog delay platform that goes well beyond simple echo into tape-warble and pitch-shifted sequencing territory.
