The Red Witch Titan is a boutique delay pedal designed for guitarists seeking a rich, warm, and versatile delay effect.

The pedal is handcrafted in New Zealand, reflecting Red Witch’s commitment to quality and attention to detail.
Key Features
Three-Delay Engine:
- Independent Delays: The Titan features three independent analog-voiced digital delays, each with its own set of controls. This design allows you to create complex, layered delay effects by combining different delay times and feedback settings.
- Parallel Delay Routing: Unlike most delay pedals, where delays are chained in series, the Titan’s delays run in parallel. This means each delay operates independently of the others, providing clarity and definition in the echoes and allowing for more intricate soundscapes.
Controls:
- Time Controls: Each delay engine has its own time control knob, allowing you to set delay times independently for each engine. This provides a wide range of delay times, from short slapback to long, ambient echoes.
- Mix Control: The mix knob allows you to blend the dry signal with the delayed signal, giving you control over how prominent the delay effect is in your overall sound.
- Feedback Control: Each delay engine also has its own feedback control, which determines how many repeats the delay will produce. This lets you dial in anything from subtle echoes to infinite, self-oscillating delays.
Warm Analog Voicing:
- The Titan is known for its warm, analog-like delay tones, even though it uses a digital engine. The pedal is designed to emulate the lush, organic sound of vintage analog delays, making it a favorite among players who appreciate classic delay sounds with modern reliability.
True Bypass:
- The pedal is equipped with true bypass switching, ensuring that your signal remains uncolored when the pedal is not in use. This feature is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your tone, especially in complex pedalboard setups.
Build Quality:
- The Red Witch Titan is housed in a sturdy, die-cast aluminum enclosure, designed to withstand the rigors of touring and heavy use. The pedal’s controls are smooth and responsive, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship that goes into each unit.
- The design features a unique, vintage-inspired aesthetic, with custom graphics that make it a standout on any pedalboard.
Sound Characteristics
Versatile Delay Tones:
- The Titan can produce a wide range of delay tones, from subtle and rhythmic to expansive and atmospheric. The ability to combine three delay lines allows for complex, multi-dimensional sounds that can add depth and texture to your playing.
- The analog-like warmth of the delays ensures that the repeats are smooth and musical, without the harshness that can sometimes be associated with digital delays.
Creative Potential:
- The parallel delay routing opens up a world of creative possibilities. By adjusting the time and feedback settings on each delay engine, you can create intricate rhythmic patterns, ambient washes, or even pseudo-reverb effects.
- The Titan excels in creating unique, evolving delay textures that can inspire new musical ideas and enhance your overall sound.
