Delay Types Included:
-
Slapback: Emulates short single-repeat echoes popular in rockabilly and vintage guitar sounds.
-
Digital: Clean, precise delay with optional filtering. Offers unfiltered or filtered repeats with high- or low-pass EQ.

Analog: Warm and resonant repeats based on classic bucket brigade delay pedals.
-
Tape: Simulates moving-head tape delays, capturing vintage characteristics like flutter and color.
-
Noise Tape: Based on fixed-head tape delays with added grit and coloration.
-
Diffuse: Softens delay transients to blend naturally with dry signal — inspired by oil-can delay systems.
-
Degrade: A lo-fi digital delay effect with adjustable bit crushing and sample rate reduction.
-
Shifter: Adds pitch-shifting intervals to the delayed signal (e.g., octave, third, fourth, fifth).
-
Helix: Combines reverse delay with pitch processing for a modulated ambient texture.
-
Reverse: Produces reversed delay segments with rhythmic, fade-in character.
-
Sweeper: Applies a resonant filter to delay repeats for a moving, synth-like effect.
