BIG TIME
A hybrid echo that blends the best of analog and digital.
Made with John Snyder at Electronic Audio Experiments.
Big Time is a hybrid echo that revisits the mixed-up circuitry found in rackmount delays from the early 80s. It blends the best of analog and digital to give you all the space stuff you could ever want:
Modulation, echoes, ambience, loops and more, bursting with character.
The everything-sounds-good of analog, the anything-is-possible of digital.
Made in collaboration with Electronic Audio Experiments.

Big Time revisits the mixed-up circuitry of rackmount delays from the early 80s, where advanced analog engineering was used to prop up crude digital systems. It includes both a stereo analog preamp at the input stage, and a stereo analog limiter within the delay’s feedback loop. Inside you will find misbiased modulations, dissolving loops, sequenced echoes, and all of the space stuff you could ever want. The anything-is-possible of digital, the everything-sounds-good of analog.
