(Deutsch) Was kann die Sonicake Acoustic-Electric Travel Guitar? Ich habe die besondere Gitarre auf Herz und Nieren getestet.
I am an electric guitarist through and through, though I really enjoy the sound of many acoustic guitars. The idea of emulating acoustic guitar tones was therefore particularly appealing to me. The Sonicake Acoustic-Electric Travel Guitar combines models of several popular acoustic guitars within a unique body design, making me extremely curious to try it out.

I’m starting today’s review with a spoiler alert, because I’m giving the verdict right up front: The Chase Bliss BIG TIME is the best delay pedal produced since the rack units of the 80s! It is my delay of the year 2026!
PSP Audioware has recently released the first update (v.1.0.1) for PSP BBDelay. It expands the factory library with new presets and fixes various minor issues reported since the initial release.
We are delighted to have contributed presets to this update, drawing on our extensive experience in sound design and our deep passion for hardware delays and plug-ins.
Sound like the DelayDude: with the new PSP BBDelay v. 1.0.1, it’s possible.
The presets cover a wide spectrum—ranging from classic BBD delays and ambient sounds to modulation, unusual textures, and experimental effects—whether for immediate use or as inspiration for your own sound experiments.
For those who already own the PSP BBDelay plugin, the v1.0.1 update is free. And for everyone else, the plugin is definitely worth getting.
About the PSP BBDelay: a vintage Bucket Brigade delay plugin in a class of its own
…is an analog-inspired delay and ambience plugin based on the distinctive character of classic BBD (Bucket Brigade Device) chips: warm repeats, organic movement, and musical imperfections that go beyond the limits of conventional vintage effects.
Inspired by a legendary BBD delay and ambience processor from the 1980s, PSP BBDelay captures the depth, dynamics, and instability that defined the appeal of classic analog delays. Thanks to the emulation of BBD chips, compander behavior, and the subtle imperfections of analog circuitry, every repeat gains texture and liveliness.
With features such as transient shaping, ducking, gating, saturation, modulation, tone shaping, and chip variations, PSP BBDelay covers a spectrum ranging from vintage echoes and lush spatial sounds to experimental soundscapes.
Musicians such as Hainbach —as well as mixer, sound engineer, producer, songwriter, and musician Alan Branch—swear by the sound of this plugin.
So, what are you waiting for? Get your PSP BBDelay with a 30-day free trial now!
Many thanks to the PSP Audiowareteam for the wonderful collaboration!

I’ve been a musician since I was a little boy and I have tested numerous guitars, amps, effect pedals as well as groove boxes, synthesizers and many accessories for musicians. On DelayDude.de we have described many of these for you and you can find numerous tests, demos and comparisons of effects pedals on our YouTube channel.
We have tested gear from many well-known manufacturers such as Strymon, Electro Harmonix, Eventide and Chase Bliss, but also some rather unknown brands and budget pedals.
Often musicians ask me what equipment I use and which effects pedals and devices I would recommend. Since the list is quite long and constantly changing, I took the trouble to put together an up-to-date overview.
We have put together the products in the Thomann shop. Here you will find my current recommendations in a clear list with the current prices. As a useful side effect, by purchasing from Thomann you also support this blog financially without any further costs for you. Of course, this also helps us to keep our blog mostly ad-free.
So if you would like to see our recommendations and support us at the same time, you can follow the link to Thomann.
The list contains an overview of my favorite guitars. Either I once owned it or I still play it. My favorite amplifiers can also be found here and the loop pedals, groove boxes and synthesizers that we like to use or we have tested and found good can be found here. And I wouldn’t be the DelayDude if you this list also contains a whole range of delay and reverb pedals.
So, we at Team DelayDude hope you enjoy browsing and say thank you for your support!
It’s that time of year again! Superbooth opens its doors to all synthesizer enthusiasts. From May 8th to 10th, the FEZ in Berlin will once again offer a diverse program that goes far beyond the offerings of a music trade fair.
This is a demo and a comparison of the brilliant Gamechanger Audio AUTO Delay. The Gamechanger Audio AUTO Delay is a very special kind of delay pedal. In addition to the classic delay sounds, it is the dynamic modulation in particular that can be created in a completely new way for guitarists. The modulation is created depending on the pitch or sound, for example, and can be routed by using small patch cables.
Besides a demo of the Gamechanger Audio AUTO Delay you will also get a comparison of the AUTO Delay with the Wampler Faux Tape Echo, the MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe and the Boss SDE-3.

At the end of 2024, Strymon launched two great new plugins, the ElCapistan and Strymon DIG, and now a reverb plugin, the Cloudburst, follows.
