Strymon Brig echo Compact

Strymon · pedal

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.
