Strymon Brig Multi-voice dBucket Delay Pedal

One brig, three buckets

While the Brig clearly takes a few tonal cues from Strymon’s beloved Brigadier delay pedal, the Brig is very much its own analog-flavored beast. From ghostly echoes to grit-laden repeats, the Brig’s trio of analog-style voices cover a level of sonic ground by expertly emulating sought-after bucket brigade analog chips in guitar pedal history.

• 3205: From simple slapback to gooey walls of psychedelic echoes, this voice captures the sound of an old-school analog with a capital “A.” It’s a supremely warm analog delay tone that beautifully develops and descends as it feeds back.
• 3005: This setting is based on a dual MN3005 bucket brigade chip, granting you a cleaner and softer voice with more delay time on tap. 3005 will surely be your go-to if you’re after soft, ambient dreamscapes. And while all three settings sport a touch of noise for true analog authenticity (easily dialed out with a twist of the filter knob), Strymon tells Suhavimart that 3005 is intentionally designed with even more atmospheric noise to aid you in your dreamy sonic escapades.
• Multi: Finally, the Multi setting combines two cross-coupled dBucket delay lines with a pristinely clean sound and golden ratio timing. In plain English, Multi is your one-stop shop for complex and rhythmic soundscapes, enveloping walls of ping-pong stereo delay, and wild self-oscillating experimentation.

Myriad modulation possibilities

Delay and modulation — it’s a must-have effect pairing that stretches back to the early days of stompbox delays. Fittingly, the Brig comes equipped with its own dedicated modulation knob, fine-tuned to pair with each of the three voices. Whether you’re looking craft lush, watery repeats or impart a lively sense of movement to your echoes, the Brig’s masterfully designed modulation never fails to impress. Plus, in classic Strymon fashion, the Brig offers a unique “secret” feature — turn down the delay time on 3205 and crank up the modulation to unlock a rich bucket-brigade-style chorus!

Artifact-free tap tempo and hands-free expression/MIDI control

Perfect for adjusting your repeats and rhythms in real time, the Brig boasts a full-featured, artifact-free tap tempo, accessed by holding down the footswitch. Tap tempo can often be challenging to integrate into an all-analog delay design. However, as a digital analog emulation pedal, the Brig offers effortless tap tempo with nary a click, ramp, or mute. If you’re after greater in-the-moment control, plug in your favorite expression pedal, or you can even harness the power of the Brig’s formidable MIDI functions!

Pedalboard-friendly enclosure

While the Brig may clock in at a significantly smaller size than your typical Strymon box, don’t be fooled: this pedal boasts the same world-class build and industry-defining tone as any of its full-size Strymon siblings. A discrete JFET analog front end, stereo input/output, and full MIDI functionality allow the Brig to hang with any top-end delay pedal on the market. Next, an electromechanical relay-switched true bypass operation delivers a 100% uncolored signal when the pedal is not in use; you can also swap the Brig to buffered bypass mode to beef up a long signal chain. Lastly, the Brig grants you access to full MIDI and USB functionality for remote control via your DAW or controller, with 300 MIDI preset locations available to save your favorite settings.

For musicians and producers seeking to elevate their sound with rich, textured delay effects, the Strymon Brig Multi-voice Bucket Delay Pedal offers a unique blend of vintage inspiration and modern digital precision. This pedal is designed to provide lush, multi-voice analog-style delays with the flexibility and control required for both studio recordings and live performances. If you want to add depth, character, and rhythmic complexity to your guitar or instrument rig, the Brig delivers an immersive delay experience that stands out from conventional pedals.

Traditional bucket-brigade delay circuits are revered for their warm, organic sound, but often come with limitations in control and stability. The Strymon Brig reimagines this classic effect with advanced digital technology, providing three distinct bucket brigade voices that can be independently manipulated. This means you can create complex, layered delay patterns that evolve and modulate over time, resulting in rich sonic textures rather than simple repeats. The pedal’s modulation and filter controls allow you to sculpt the delay tails precisely, adding movement and tonal variation that keeps your sound fresh and dynamic.

One of the standout features of the Brig is its 1000-millisecond maximum delay time, which gives you ample space to experiment with rhythmic delay patterns from slapback echo to ambient soundscapes. The inclusion of tap tempo functionality ensures that your delay syncs perfectly with your song’s tempo, whether you are jamming live or recording in the studio. Additionally, the pedal offers true bypass switching with an option for buffered bypass, preserving your tone integrity whether the effect is engaged or not. This level of signal path control is crucial for professional users who demand pristine audio quality.

Connectivity is another area where the Brig excels. It includes a 1/4″ TRS input and output for stereo use, plus MIDI I/O via 1/4″ TRS and USB-C ports, allowing seamless integration with MIDI controllers and DAWs. This means you can program, automate, and recall up to 300 presets, making it easy to switch between complex delay settings during performances or recording sessions. The compatibility with Strymon’s Nixie software further enhances your control, providing a user-friendly interface to customize every parameter in detail.

In terms of physical design, the Brig is compact and robust, measuring just 2.2 inches in height, 2.7 inches in width, and 4.5 inches in depth, making it a convenient addition to any pedalboard without crowding your setup. Powered by a standard 9V DC supply drawing 250 mA, it fits easily into typical power configurations used by gigging musicians and studio professionals alike. The durable build and intuitive interface ensure that it performs reliably in demanding environments.

Whether you are a guitarist, keyboardist, or sound designer, the Strymon Brig offers a versatile delay solution that blends vintage tonal character with modern flexibility. Use it to craft intricate rhythmic motifs, atmospheric soundscapes, or simply add warmth and depth to your signal chain. The extensive MIDI control and preset management make it ideal for musicians who want to push creative boundaries while maintaining precise control over their sound.
