Eventide Modulated Delay
Eventide · pedal
The Eventide Modulated Delay is a BBD-style modulated delay pedal from Eventide, combining analog-voiced delay with LFO modulation for tape-style wobble and chorused delay character. The modulated delay produces warm, vintage delay tones with subtle pitch modulation in the repeats for richness and life in the delayed signal. Controls include Delay Time, Feedback, Mix, and Mod Rate/Depth.
