Vintage-Delay-Sounds for the PSP BBDelay v. 1.0.1 – The DelayDude Presets

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.

PSP Audio BBD Delay Plugin
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

PSP BBDelay

…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!

Arturia MicroFreak with reverb pedals for guitars

In this second part of my two-part series, I would like to show you how you can combine a synthesizer like the Arturia MicroFreak with reverb effect pedals for guitars as a small suggestion for sound experiments. As already shown in the first part about the combination with delay pedals, this relationship can also open up completely new worlds of sound. Have fun trying.

Reverse delay trouble

A readers question to the DelayDude:

For a new song, I used a chord sequence recorded with a reverse delay. I think, in my own case this is an appropriate substitute for an extensive synth sound.
But I recognized that it is pretty hard to control the reverse delay and now, I am not able to reproduce my record exactly. I have the feeling that it does whatever it wants to do. Somehow, the rhythm of the reverse signal varies each time.
I am not sure, if this is problem only occurs in my setup but I tried my best to describe the trouble.
At the moment I am using the reverse delay of the Boss ME-80, might this be the source of error? Continue reading “Reverse delay trouble”

Neunaber Expanse vs. Source Audio Nemesis

This is a comparison of the Neunaber Expanse with the Source Audio Nemesis.
The Neuaber Expanse is quite more than a reverb. Thus, I compare different settings of both pedals like tape and digital. But also modes like scatter (Expanse) versus rhythmic (Nemesis) and echelon stock (Expanse) versus digital mode (Nemesis). Last but not least, you will get a demo of how both pedals sound in the mix.

Neunaber Expanse as a delay

In this video, I used the Neunaber Expanse as a delay.
Most people use it as a reverb effect, but through the Neunaber App you can also download several delay algorithms. The additional EXP Controller allows to choose between up to four different presets.
For it is stereo, please use your headphones!

Midi for pedalboards: Is it only bling-bling or does it make sense?

Tips & tricksTo many guitarists, midi is still a mystery. Although midi is nothing new. Initially, it has been used mostly by keyboarders. Maybe this is the reason why so many guitarists refuse to use midi as well. But besides some disadvantages, even guitarists can benefit from midi. Continue reading “Midi for pedalboards: Is it only bling-bling or does it make sense?”
