Thermae
An analog delay built around four MN3005 bucket-brigade chips, driven hard enough to sequence melodies, pitch-shift, and stretch delay times out to 32 seconds.
About this pedal
Thermae pushes reissued MN3005 bucket-brigade delay chips past their intended range, using a built-in sequencer to shift delay time into musical melodies, or Step mode for manual, synth-like control over pitch and long analog delay times. MIDI, CV, expression control, tap tempo with subdivisions, and internal modulation of every knob are included. Discontinued.
