The Strymon Brig is a compact stereo delay built to celebrate classic analog bucket-brigade tone using Strymon's dBucket DSP technology, which recreates the sound and tactile behavior of BBD delays. It offers three voicings named after popular BBD chips: a 3205 mode tailored for short doubling delays from 30 to 300 milliseconds that fatten leads and provide slapback to raygun sweeps, a 3005 mode for longer classic analog repeats, and a Golden Ratio Multi mode. It delivers the warmth, subtle grit, and organic degradation of analog BBD delays in a small, modern stereo pedal. It suits players wanting authentic bucket-brigade warmth, vintage slapback, doubling, and modulated analog repeats in a pedalboard-friendly format, blending naturally with clean and driven amp tones for rock, indie, and ambient styles.
The Walrus Audio Fundamental Delay is part of the brand's affordable, streamlined Fundamental series, proving how flexible delay can be in a simple, board-ready pedal. Uniquely among the Fundamental pedals, it features a Tap Tempo mode accessed by holding the footswitch, with a three-way switch selecting the musical subdivision, alongside sliders for the core delay controls and a mode switch for different delay voicings. It covers everything from tight slapback and rhythmic tap-synced repeats to longer, ambient trails, with the tonal integrity to sit on a professional board while staying friendly to newcomers. It suits players wanting good-sounding, versatile delay at a budget price, from rhythmic dotted patterns to atmospheric washes, in a compact, easy-to-use enclosure with the practical addition of tap tempo and subdivisions.
