Pigtronix Constellator

The Pigtronix Constellator is an all-analog delay pedal capable of up to 600ms of echo with adjustable modulation, from percussive slapback and doubler sounds to chorused-out, long delays with endless repeats. The Pigtronix Constellator also uses a Feel toggle switch to adjust several parameters simultaneously for an additional coloring of LFO modulation, and pitching up or down by turning the Time knob.

The Pigtronix Constellator is available here for $179.

Pigtronix Echolution 3

The Pigtronix Echolution 3 offers delay times from 100ms to 5 seconds and a wide variety of delay options that can be saved to one of the four preset slots available. There’s also a second Delay Tap that can be set to different times to create more of a rhythmic delay, and options for reverse delay, jump delay, and pong delay.

The Pigtronix Echolution 3 is available here for $299.

J. Rockett Audio Designs Clockwork

The J. Rockett Audio Designs Clockwork is a collaboration with Howard Davis, the designer of the original Deluxe Memory Man, for a very retro analog modulation and delay pedal. The J. Rockett Audio Designs Clockwork offers stereo delay with a single mono input option and a pair of expression pedal inputs. Then there’s the Modulation section of the pedal, where you get as weird as you want with things.

The J. Rockett Audio Designs Clockwork is available here for $399.

Electro-Harmonix Nano Deluxe Memory Man

The Electro-Harmonix Nano Deluxe Memory Man pretty much takes everything you love about the signature analog delay, chorus, and vibrato of the classic pedal and makes it fit on your pedalboard. The Electro-Harmonix Nano Deluxe Memory Man brings delay times of between 30mS and 550mS, a switch to turn delay tails on or off, true bypass in collaboration with the switch, and an overload LED for when the analog delay block is too hot.

The Electro-Harmonix Nano Deluxe Memory Man is available here for $203.10.

IK Multimedia AmpliTube X-TIME

The IK Multimedia AmpliTube X-TIME features 16 all-new delay effects leveraging IK’s latest AmpliTube technologies, accompanied by an exclusive virtual X-GEAR version of the exact same effects. As with all new IK Multimedia pedals, the X-TIME also works with the AmpliTube 5 to record and tweak settings to save as presets on your X-TIME.

The IK Multimedia AmpliTube X-TIME is available here for $299.99.
