SpaceCake Echo Reverb: This pedal is a perhaps
unusual amalgam of a muti-tap delay and a reverb
systems known from the late 1970s. Using proper
BBD (bucket-brigade delay) emulation techniques
borrowed from "TimeTunnel", the signal feeds two
seperate delay lines here. Each delay has 4 taps on
the output, which have user-adjustable weighting.
This alone already lets you dial quite unusual
reflection textures.
In "reverb" mode, things can go more wild. Now,
the feedback signal of a delay line is derived from
the sum of all 4 taps, and the two feedback paths
are cross-coupled. Depending on the actual delay-
time ratio of the two delay lines, very complex
echoic and reverberant tails can be created. Just
keep in mind that by summing the taps in "reverb"
mode, the system is prone to instability. Luckily,
you have the "mod" parameter at hand, slowly
varying the delay times and keeping feedback
under control. And it greatly enhances that
"spaced-out" feeling.
Volume/Dynamics
Volume Pedal: No explanation needed. Step on
it, give it some gas. You are, after all, driving with
tube equipment! If the amp is set correctly, you
can control distortion levels precisely just by
varying the volume. Common swelling sounds are
also no problem when using MIDI controls.
