New Release | Strymon BRIG delay
Fresh off the back of the incredible Cloudburst Ambient Reverb, everybody's favourite pedal pioneers are back with another fantastic compact pedal, the Brig!
Strymon has a reputation for pushing the boundaries of modern effects manipulation, offering a selection of pedals with a depth of features, unrivalled functionality, and user intuitive customisation options that few can compete with. Let’s be honest, if you haven’t already jumped on the bandwagon and committed a Strymon pedal to pride of place on your pedalboard, you probably want to! Whether it’s the holy trinity of the Timeline, Big Sky and Mobius or one of the myriad of ground breaking smaller footprint pedals such as the El Capistan, Flint or Compadre, you just can’t seem to escape the lure of Strymon pedals these days. A staple of the working player, they are the bar by which other pedal brands are measured by.
You’ve guessed it, the Brig is the younger sibling to the impressive Brigadier, one of Strymon’s most popular 2 button delay pedals. Like the Cloudburst, the Brig is a compact, single switch dream machine, and much like the Cloudburst, a smaller housing doesn’t mean it’s not as feature rich as its bigger sibling!
The Strymon Brig is an organic echo pedal that defies the boundaries of conventional delays. With its captivating complexity and rich tonal characteristics, the Brig takes delay repeats to new heights. Offering three distinct delay voicings, it delivers the warmth, grit, and tactile playing experience of analog bucket brigade delays.
The 3205 voice provides delicious repeats that morph as they feed back, ranging from gorgeous slapback echoes to mind-bending sci-fi effects. The 3005 voice recreates the dual MN3005 BBD chip circuit, offering longer delay times and dreamlike repeats with a soft, ethereal quality. The Multi voice features dual cross-coupled dBucket delay lines, creating complex soundscapes and an expansive stereo soundfield that remains clean even on the edge of self-oscillation.
Despite its modest size, the Brig offers artifact-free tap tempo, responsive controls, and expression pedal compatibility. Comprehensive enough to deliver on all your delay needs, it’s perfect for compact fly rigs or even as the sole delay on a larger board.
