Alexander Pedals Oblivion Vintage Delay

Alexander Pedals · pedal

The Alexander Pedals Oblivion Vintage Delay is a four-mode DSP delay emulating distinct vintage archetypes: TAPE delivers warm magnetic tape echo with progressive treble and bass rolloff per repeat, ANALOG BBD provides warm murky bucket-brigade character with optional modulation closest to vintage BBD units, OILCAN produces dark dirty repeats based on 1960s electrostatic delay lines for psychedelic textures, and MULTI delivers clean multi-head delay with eight playback-head combinations for complex rhythmic echo patterns. Delay range is 10ms to 900ms. Features tap tempo, expression pedal morphing between two stored settings, MIDI, and four preset slots.

What stands out

  • “The OILCAN mode is difficult to control musically at higher feedback but delivers viscous psychedelic character for experimental use”

    — from the community notes

  • “The expression pedal jack morphing between two complete stored settings is particularly valuable live for switching between short slap echo and long ambient swell”
