MODE
Controls the delay time range.
See Delay Modes & Sample
Settings for more information.
TAP
Changes the tap subdivision between
quarter notes, dotted eighth notes,
and eighth note triplets.
MIX
Controls the balance of dry signal and
wet signal from 100% dry at minimum
to 100% wet at maximum. Set to 3
o’clock for a 50/50 mix.
MOD
Adds LFO modulation to the delay time.
BYPASS
Engages and disengages eect. LED
ON indicates the eect is engaged.
TIME
Controls the delay time according
to the selected delay mode. Clock
artifacts can be heard when set to
3 o’clock or greater in all modes.
BUCKET LOSS
Controls the amount of bucket
loss at each stage of the
dBucket algorithm, from no loss
at minimum to full noisy loss at
maximum.
TAP
Tap quarter notes to set the delay time. The TAP
LED will flash to indicate the tempo. Holding the
TAP footswitch will result in infinite repeats.
REPEATS
Varies number of delay repeats from
one to runaway oscillation. Set to 3
o’clock for sustained infinite repeat
without runaway.

ADD EVEN MORE CONTROL & FLEXIBILITY
Connect the optional Strymon Miniswitch to quickly access a saved favorite setting. See the full

INPUT
High impedance mono or TRS
stereo input (internal jumper
configurable - see full user
manual for details).
EXP
Connect a standard TRS
expression pedal for continuous
control over any selectable knob
parameter. To select the knob
controlled by the expression
pedal, hold the TAP footswitch
during power up. The first knob
turned is then assigned to the
expression pedal. The maximum
position the knob is turned up to
becomes the expression pedal
“toe down” maximum value.
POWER
Use an adapter with the
following rating: 9VDC
center negative. 250mA
minimum.
STEREO OUTPUTS
Use left output for mono
operation.

DELAY MODES Brigadier’s 3 delay modes oer their own unique delay ranges
that are determined by the number of dBucket “chips” in the delay.
Short (40-400ms) recreates early single-chip analog bucket brigade pedals
that are great for slap back, leads, and sci-fi sounds.
Med (100-1000ms) achieves the longest analog bucket brigade times
currently available.
Long (500ms-5s) goes far beyond what is physically possible with analog
bucket brigade chips.
