Way Huge Electronics Aqua-Puss MkII Analog Delay

Unknown brand · pedal

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.
