Delay Machines: dBucket
An fully nuanced re-creation of classic analog bucket brigade delay systems.
PARAMETERS:
SINGLE
Range: Varies the amount of bucket brigade circuits that the delayed signal travels
through. Single is essentially one 4096 stage bucket brigade “chip” while Double
is equivalent to two 4096 stage bucket brigade “chips” in series.
DOUBLE
FILTER: In dBucket, the fi lter control
makes the repeats either darker or
brighter depending on preference.
12:00 is a neutral fi lter setting. Turning
the fi lter clockwise makes the repeats
darker and they will get progressively
darker with each repeat. Increasing
the bucket loss will darken the
repeats even further. Turning the fi lter
counterclockwise makes the repeats
brighter by applying a ‘post’ high shelf
EQ to the wet signal.
KNOB FUNCTIONS: In dBucket, two of the knobs assume different controls than the other delay machines.

BUCKET LOSS: In dBucket, the GRIT
knob takes the function of BUCKET
LOSS. This controls the amount of bucket
brigade “chip” loss at each stage in
the dBucket algorithm, from no loss at
minimum, to full noisy loss at maximum.
Set to 3:00 to get maximum distortion
loss with just a hint of noise. Increasing
from 3:00 adds more noisy loss.

TIPS & TRICKS: A classic analog delay sound is one with a bright fi rst repeat and darker
subsequent repeats. To dial this in, set the FILTER knob at minimum and the GRIT (bucket
loss) at 12:00. Set the delay time. The bucket loss will reduce the bandwidth and fi delity of
the repeats progressively with minimum coloration from the FILTER.
TIPS & TRICKS: The RANGE parameter selects a ‘one-chip’
dBucket delay, or a ‘two-chip’ dBucket delay. The one-chip
delay has half the delay range (SINGLE - 400mS) as the two-
chip delay (DOUBLE - 800mS), and experiences clock-related
artifacts at half the delay time as the two-chip delay. For
cleaner delays of 300ms to 400ms, use DOUBLE with lower
GRIT settings. For the warm, fuzzy, lofi sound of the ealiest
analog delays, use the single option with lots of GRIT and set
the Filter between 12:00 and 5:00 to taste.
