Big Time
A hybrid analog/digital echo built with John Snyder of Electronic Audio Experiments, blending an analog stereo preamp and limiter with a flexible digital delay engine for everything from musical modulation to full stereo looping.
About this pedal
Big Time reimagines the mixed analog/digital circuitry of early-80s rackmount delays, pairing a stereo analog preamp and limiter with a digital delay core. Controls for Color, Cluster, Scale, Mode, and State let you dial in anything from lush ambient washes to sequenced, glitchy echoes, and the pedal doubles as a stereo looper. Fully MIDI, CV, and expression-controllable with 10 onboard presets and 127 via MIDI.
