Analog BBD Delay
The
VTD delivers all the sweet luscious analog delay tones like the
original Vapor Trail but with many new upgrades. The VTD extends the
delay time up to 1.2s while maintaining great clarity and warmth on the
longer repeats. The VTD features 4 of the largest BBD chips in
production yielding great performance and tone.
Digital Control
At
the heart of the VTD is a digital brain that allows users to program
and store 3 analog delay settings. The digital control provides unique
sounds in special mode settings that are otherwise unattainable by a
non-digital control delay pedal.
Modulation
The
modulation depth and rate controls let you to dial in the right amount
of pitch modulation from subtle chorus to warbly ambient tones to Leslie
type effects. The range on the depth and rate controls will make your
head spin as you explore new ambient tones. Your new soundscape
awaits...
Special Modes
The VTD features 4 special
modes: micro delay, sequence, bender, and runaway. Explore new pitch
shift delay effects that can take you to another world. Micro delay can
go from a double track effect to spinning Leslie goodness. Sequence
bounces octaves up and down to give you a new rhythmic track that will
energize your creative bug. Bender gives you dive bombs and glissandos
perfect for that unique intro/ending or spaced-out middle section. With
runaway, you can expand the delay regeneration giving you a sustained
interstellar soundscape.
Tap Divisions
Control your
repeats with tab tempo and subdivisions. Explore synced delay tones from
classic dotted 8th, 8th note, triplet 8th, or quarter note
subdivisions.
Wet Insert
Explore new delay sounds by
routing just the delay signal to any pedal or device using a TRS to dual
mono insert cable. Mix in the delayed effect using the mix knob for the
perfect balance. You can even use the wet insert as a dry cut by
sending just the wet insert delay signal to any device.
Expression
The
expression control can control all the knob parameters except for mode.
You can layer parameters for endless control over you delay settings.
