Authentic Bucket Brigade Delay Character with Modern Stereo Flexibility
The Strymon Brig captures everything guitarists love about classic bucket-brigade delay pedals. It brings it into the modern era with stereo operation, MIDI control, and three distinct analog-inspired delay voices.
Built around Strymon's acclaimed dBucket technology, Brig recreates the warmth, movement and musical imperfections that made vintage analog delays legendary. Every repeat evolves naturally, adding depth, character and inspiration rather than simply repeating what you play.
From classic slapback and warm rhythmic echoes to expansive stereo soundscapes and self-oscillating ambient textures, Brig delivers an exceptionally authentic analog delay experience in a compact pedalboard-friendly format.
Why You'll Love It
- Three Distinct Analog Delay Voices – Choose between 3205, 3005 and Multi modes, each offering a unique take on classic bucket brigade delay tones.
- Authentic dBucket Technology – Recreates the warmth, saturation and evolving character of vintage analog delay circuits.
- 3205 Mode – Gritty, character-filled repeats perfect for slapback, classic analog delay and psychedelic feedback effects.
- 3005 Mode – Warm, smooth repeats inspired by dual MN3005 circuits with increased headroom and longer delay times.
- Multi Mode – Creates huge stereo soundscapes with exceptional clarity and dimensionality.
- Stereo Inputs & Outputs – Delivers immersive delay textures and wide stereo imaging.
- Tap Tempo – Easily sync delay times without artifacts or unwanted pitch changes.
- Expression Pedal Compatible – Real-time control over key parameters during performance.
- Full MIDI Functionality – Save presets, control tempo and integrate into advanced pedalboard systems.
- Premium JFET Input Stage – Exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamic response.
Our Take
The Brig isn't trying to be a digital delay that happens to sound analog. It feels like a genuine analog delay experience, developed for modern players.
What truly captures attention is the striking contrast between the three delay voices. The 3205 mode delivers the gritty, colourful repeats many players associate with vintage analog pedals. The 3005 mode is smoother, warmer and more spacious. In contrast, the Multi mode opens up entirely new stereo possibilities that weren't available in classic bucket-brigade designs.
For players chasing authentic analog character without the limitations of vintage hardware, the Brig strikes an impressive balance between nostalgia and innovation.
Whether you're after subtle slapback, rhythmic delay, ambient textures or runaway self-oscillation, the Brig delivers some of the most satisfying delay sounds available in a compact pedal format.
