What it does
Two identical stereo delays, A and B, that run in series, parallel or anywhere between via a cascade control. Each has tempo sync, up to 8 seconds of time, a left/right ratio, low cut, regen and modulation, plus a single effect dial that sweeps from Random Reverse to Octave Grains, a randomised pitch-shifted shimmer. Envelope followers let playing intensity modulate mix, tone, modulation and effect amount.
In the demo
Jade starts with a piano loop in AUM, builds a delay from the default patch, maxes the time and regen to use it as a looper, then cascades A into B. She runs the presets on live guitar, a vocal mic and a Playbeat drum pattern.
Worth knowing
With sync on, the time control is locked to the beat value. It leans toward evolving, ambient washes; a plain slapback is possible but is not what most of the presets do.
