Delay MEMORY-BRIGADE is Arturia's homage to the iconic bucket brigade device (BBD) technology that revolutionized time-based audio effects in the 1970s. This effect unit captures the distinctive filtered lo-fi delay sound that defined an era of music production, especially known for its rich, dark, and textured character. The BBD technology became a staple for chorus, flange, and delay effects, offering musicians a compact and reliable solution to create unique sonic landscapes.

Inspired by the legendary Electro-Harmonix Memory Man and its Deluxe variant, Delay MEMORY-BRIGADE simulates the classic pedal’s signature tone, famous for its driven feedback and “rusty” analog warmth. Built using advanced modeling technologies, this plugin authentically recreates the behavior of vintage BBD circuits to deliver an analog-sounding experience that suits various musical styles. Its sound has been favored by renowned artists across genres, making it a valuable tool for adding character and depth to guitars, vocals, and full mixes.

This delay effect offers multiple delay types including Left/Right, Ping Pong, and Mid/Side, with stereo processing and independent repeat times for each channel. Users can shape the input tone using built-in equalizers and enhance modulation with envelope followers and LFOs. Synchronization with host tempo and spatial width control make it flexible for modern production environments. Whether adding subtle dark vibes or vibrant slapback effects, Delay MEMORY-BRIGADE provides an authentic and expressive analog delay experience for creative sound design.
