Full Bucket Brigade Delay is a software effect designed for both Windows and macOS platforms, supporting various plugin formats including VST2, VST3, CLAP, AAX, and AU. This delay effect emulates the classic analog Bucket Brigade Device (BBD) delay lines, delivering an authentic vintage sound without the common issues such as crackling or dropouts when adjusting delay times. Developed in native C++ code, it ensures high performance while maintaining minimal CPU usage, making it suitable for a wide range of production environments.

The plugin features LFO modulation that can be used to create flanger, chorus, and other modulation effects, adding depth and character to your soundscapes. It offers a Sync-to-Host option for seamless integration with your DAW’s tempo, along with a unique Quality control that intentionally degrades signal fidelity for creative lo-fi textures. Additionally, the Freeze mode allows you to capture and hold delay tails, perfect for ambient and experimental music production.

Originally derived from a smaller delay effect within a synthesizer project, Full Bucket Brigade Delay was expanded into a standalone plugin aimed at capturing the charm of vintage BBD units. Its careful design reflects a passion for analog delay sounds, providing producers and musicians with a reliable and expressive tool. This plugin is a great choice for anyone seeking to add classic delay tones with modern stability and efficiency to their music production workflow.
