Gem OTD-2 – Analog Bucket-Brigade Tapped Delays

OTD-2: Analog Bucket-Brigade Tapped Delays by Overloud is your new secret weapon! The Overloud Tapped Delay is a recreation of a unique analog processor that delivers modulating tap delays along with sound-widening effects. With six analog bucket-brigade delays that can be individually switched and panned, you can create custom delay patterns and design astonishing doubling effects on vocal tracks or add warmth and character to any source.

Thanks to OTD-2’s hyper-analog delay circuit, you can replicate the tones of legendary artists like Jimmie Vaughan and Allan Holdsworth. OTD-2 goes beyond traditional delays and chorus, allowing you to create unique modulations and greatly expand the stereo image.
