Description

The Way Huge Aqua-Puss is a bucket-brigade analog delay famed for warm yet bright, bubbly, splashy repeats and old-school slapback, offering 20 to 300 milliseconds of delay time. Its repeats add gentle even-order distortion and a lived-in, vintage glue that thickens tone and evokes the inviting feel of classic recordings. Often called the brightest analog delay on the market, it stays warm without going too dark, and pushing feedback throws it into wild, space-warping self-oscillation. With simple delay, feedback, and blend controls, it is a favorite for short to medium analog echo and slapback, used by players like John Mayer for warm, characterful repeats in blues, rock, and roots styles.

The Way Huge Aqua-Puss MKII is a vintage-inspired analog delay pedal with only three intuitive controls: Delay, Feedback, and Blend. The pedal enables anything from subtle doubling effects to long, ambient washes of sound, with delay range from tight 20ms to cavernous 300ms. The Aqua-Puss is famous for its bright, jangly repeats and straightforward operation. The tone is warm, vintage analog character with distinct sonic signature instantly identifiable in blind tests. The pedal excels at slapback repeats and thick delay.
