Gamechanger Audio Auto Delay

Gamechanger Audio · pedal

The Gamechanger Audio Auto Delay (also sold as the MOD Delay) is a patchable delay pedal offering three algorithms, Tape, Analog, and Digital, with Level, Time, Feedback, and Tone controls plus Ping Pong stereo panning at 0%, 50%, or 100% spread. Like the rest of the series, it includes a patch bay and cables that route delay parameters to onboard automation engines responsive to playing dynamics, plus MIDI or analog clock sync and tap tempo. It's designed for players who want their delay's character, not just its wet/dry mix, to shift dynamically during a performance rather than sitting at fixed settings.
