    MEET THE BEE BEE DEE.

    An analog delay designed to do everything you love about classic echoes,

    and everything you didn't know an analog delay could do.

    At its core are two bucket brigade chips delivering warm, rich, musical repeats with unmistakable character.

    But behind that analog path is a smart control system, a digital engine that lets you bend time, shift pitch, and move your sound in ways no vintage circuit ever could.

    What does it sound like?

    3 DELAY MODES

    From classic to creative.

    CLASSIC MODE

    Smooth, familiar and timeless.
    This is the delay sound we all know and love, warm, musical, and full of character.

    Classic Mode delivers true BBD tone with smooth sine-wave modulation that gently moves around your repeats.

    You get up to 600ms of clean delay, sitting around 1 o’clock on the TIME knob.

    DEPTH sets how deep it goes.
    ACTIVITY sets how fast it moves.

    LO-FI MODE

    Think tape warble + tone modulation.
    Lo-Fi Mode takes the BBD sound and pushes it into stranger territory.

    The repeats are darker, grittier, and more unpredictable, a little noisier, a little moodier, and full of life.

    The modulation here is irregular, constantly shifting both delay time and tone. What makes it unique is how it also modulates the TONE filter, making your repeats get brighter and darker as they echo and drift.

    DEPTH sets delay time warbles while tone always modulate from bright to dark.
    ACTIVITY sets how often delay time warbles and tone modulation.

    PITCH MODE

    Harmony in motion. A creative partner.
    Pitch Mode turns delay into a musical instrument.

    Your echoes shift in pitch, creating harmonies, rhythmic patterns, and unexpected textures. It’s driven by a softened square-wave modulation, gently gliding delay time up and down in rhythmic steps.

    The movement stays locked to tempo, making it feel tight, reactive, and alive.

    DEPTH selects between 9 pitch options including 2 note pitches and a random.
    ACTIVITY selects the subdivision it will pitch up and down. Always synced to the delay time.

    3 PERFORMANCE FEATURES

    Select the function for the performance footswitch. Everything moves when you do.

    Jump an octave in a heartbeat and land where the echo takes you.

    • TAP or HOLD to double the delay speed.
    • Also shifts the feedback line up or down one octave
    • Holding returns to normal when released ideal for quick pitch tricks.

    Set your tempo or shift it mid-flight.

    • TAP to set delay time
    • HOLD + TURN ACTIVITY to select tap division.

    Drop into modulation. Or pull out clean. Your call.

    • TAP or HOLD to toggle modulation on/off – momentary or latches
    • Use it like a mod preset: keep your base delay clean, then engage your dialed-in modulation when needed
    • Especially dramatic in PITCH MODE, where mod ON/OFF flips the entire sonic mood

    UNIQUE TONE

    No other BBD delay lets you shape tone like this.

    LOW PASS

    Keeps it classic.

    Mellow, clean, and smooth.

    HIGH PASS

    COMMON QUESTIONS

    Is it true bypass or buffered?

    The BEE BEE DEE is buffered bypass, ensuring consistent tone and enabling trails when the pedal is turned off.
    How much delay time is there?

    It delivers 600ms of clean analog delay, but with tap tempo, you can stretch it up to 2 seconds - pushing into wild, degraded territory.
    Can I turn modulation on and off while playing?

    Yes. Use the MOD position on the performance switch. You can latch modulation on/off or momentarily engage it, depending on how you step. Great for real-time contrast between dry delay and modulated textures.
    Does it have presets?

    No traditional presets. But you can create contrast and recall options live:

    • Use 2x as a second delay time.
    • Use MOD to toggle between dry and modulated delay settings — like switching between two worlds with a footswitch.
    Can I use it with bass, synths and drums?

    Yes! The BEE BEE DEE works great with bass and synths.
    While it’s not optimized for line level, if you find the right input volume, it will perform beautifully.
    Just keep in mind: this may shift the MIX control balance, so tweak it to taste for the right blend of dry and delayed signal.
    Is it stereo?

    Only if you buy two.
    How does the Tone Control works?

    There are two signals - one low-pass, one high-pass - blended by the Tone knob.
    They were carefully tuned for at noon to bee flat. Turn left for darker, smoother repeats.
    Turn right for brighter, noisier,characterful echoes.
    It’s the only BBD delay that goes both ways (LP and HP).

    Can I re-sync the modulation LFO?

    Yes. Just tap once in TAP setting to restart the LFO cycle and re-sync it to your playing or click track.
    How does the 2X function works?

    It doubles the delay speed,pitches everything up an octave, and returns when you let go.
    Tap for latch. Hold for momentary. It's a hint of PITCH mode but on demand available on any mode.
    What's the current draw?

    The BEE BEE DEE draws 200mA of current. It's actually lower than that but go with 200 to bee safe.
