Sound Profile
The Strymon Brig excels at delivering the warm, dark repeats associated with vintage bucket brigade delay units. Each repeat has a soft, analog-like decay, adding a natural warmth and smoothness to the delay trails. The modulation controlallows players to add subtle or extreme pitch variation to the delays, mimicking the imperfections of old analog delay units. The pedal is equally effective for short, slapback-style delays as it is for long, ambient delay effects, making it versatile for a wide range of genres. The filter controls provide additional tonal flexibility, allowing players to shape the repeats to either sit subtly in the mix or stand out with more clarity.

The Strymon Brig is ideal for guitarists, bassists, and even synth players who want vintage-style delay with modern precision. It’s well-suited for genres like indie, blues, psychedelic rock, post-rock, and ambient music. The tap tempoand modulation options make it especially useful in live settings, where players need to sync their delay times to the tempo of a song and tweak the modulation in real-time. Its stereo input/output makes it a great choice for stereo rigs, and the bucket brigade-style delay adds warmth and character that digital delays can sometimes lack.
