Delay
Catalinbread Adineko
Old oil can delays have mysteriously cool effects but were inconsistent and maintenance-heavy. That has inspired Catalinbread to create a digital version of oil-filled mechanical delays. It built a simple, reliable delay pedal with modern precision and keeps the swirly sonic goodness and retro vibe of the original oil can unit. The Catalinbread Adineko Delay Pedal gives you the retro feel of mechanical, oil-filled paint cans minus their drawbacks. It consists of Balance, Blend, Reverb, Timing, and Viscosity knobs that are within easy reach.
