STRYMON Brigadier

The American company Strymon aims to produce precisely processed effects and in this area it does not admit any compromises. This makes Strymon effects one of the best things you can plug your instrument into today. The great enthusiasts at this small company spend months in the development of all effects, fine-tuning algorithms, calibrating and thinking through the smallest details. If you want to be in full control of your sound at all times, definitely turn your attention to this brand.

Brigadier's characteristic is based on analog Bucket Brigade delays, but you can enjoy their sound without the typical noise - that is, unless you want to add it yourself. The repeated tone can thus be completely clean or, on the contrary, "dirty" and pleasantly saturated. At the heart of the effect is the powerful SHARC DSP, but the analog signal from the instrument is not affected and digitized while passing through the effect. Everything happens "around".

You can choose between three types of delay (40 - 400 ms, 100 - 1000 ms, 500 ms - 5 s), you can set the exact response time using the Time control and of course there is also the Tap switch for setting the desired tempo by tapping your foot. Repeats can be set to quarter notes, dotted eighth notes and triplets. The Bucket Loss knob engages the dBucket algorithm and adds typical character to the echo. You can also modulate the echo with an LFO. Of course, the sound quality and processing is excellent at 24-bit/96 kHz.
