BUCKET-500 Analog Delay

Bucket Brigade on Parade

Get that Vibe

The Bucket-500 is a deeply musical delay which introduces the typical juicy flavors of an analog bucket brigade (BBD) design to your mixes. It shines with that instant, very recognizable vibe that sits perfectly and pleasantly behind leading instruments and other sources. The texture and decay are quite different from most other delay plugins, making it a great addition to your creative arsenal.

Vintage meets Versatility

The concept behind the Bucket-500 is to offer a simple to use processor that still provides enough versatility to create a wide range of vintage style sounds. The plugin very much stays true to the original circuit, so the BL-3208 delay chip, the SA-571 based compandor system as well as the anti-aliasing and reconstruction filters have all been modeled to work their special kind of magic.

Creative Add-Ons

The plugin introduces plenty of custom features enhancing its flexibility and fun factor, including a tilt filter in the feedback path, a stereo cross-feed option and an optional delay clock LFO. Two slightly offset short delay times with the cross-feed on and modulation can add a very nice stereo spread to your signals, while the onboard host tempo sync will always play your repetitions on time.

Organic… nic … ic … c

The Bucket-500 introduces that much wanted warm, grungy, organic sort of feel getting more and more degraded with every repetition, fading to a nice grit and dark tone. However, the transients don't smear as much as with many other delays, so the tail does not get too muddy. This one instantly adds nice character and real interest while retaining its original stomp box simplicity.
