Dan builds a four-head delay machine using 26 separate pedals!

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

Welcome to the show! In this show Dan is expanding on an idea that began when we were exploring multi-head tape delays back in July 2020. You can watch that show here: [ Ссылка ]
As we were explaining what happens in a multi-head tape delay, Dan put together a ‘Frankenstein’ version of a dual-head delay, using single pedals replicating each component. In this video he’s expanded on that and returned with a 4-head behemoth to see what’s what.
Why would you do this? Well, you probably wouldn’t, but we hope it opens up some understanding of what’s happening in a delay pedal in order to help you decide on the kind of sounds and features you like more, and like less.

Enjoy the show!
