Today marks our first foray into the world of JAM Pedals, and we couldn’t be happier about the way we’re getting started. The Delay Llama XTREME introduces new functionality and exciting features to their Delay Llama series, challenging preconceived notions of what an analog delay pedal can do. Featuring 3 x 3205 BBD chips and a thoughtful layout, the Delay Llama XTREME appeals to traditional delay users and sound explorers alike.
The Delay Llama XTREME comes equipped with 4 presets, 800ms of maximum delay time, tap tempo w/ subdivisions, hold function, kill-dry, trails (buffered) OR true bypass modes, delay time expression pedal / CV input, remote tap tempo input and remote preset selection input. It also features 4 trail effects you can get lost in for hours on end – these 4 XTREME modes are the result of experimentation with the Delay Time and musically taming it to create inspiring trails effects:
Vibrato: sine-wave LFO modulation w/ controls for Depth and Speed
Tape-age: this mode emulates the slight and random pitch variations (warble) a physical “worn-down” tape would produce in vintage tape-echo machines, w/ control for frequency of deviation occurrences
Random: this mode randomly changes the ms value of the repeats over fixed time increments resulting in abrupt pitch and rhythmic changes
Pitch-shift: this mode will give you 5 distinct pitch-shifted intervals and 5 playback patterns the last of which is a 5-mode sequencer
As you can tell, there’s a lot to explore in this one, and we run through all the features and create some wonderful and wild sounds in our demo video below. The Delay Llama XTREME gives you the ability to add warm, somewhat normal analog delays to your sound, but can also take you on a crazy, oscillating journey into the deep unknown….which is always welcome. Cheers to JAM Pedals on this wonderful sonic creation – we’ve got more gear on the way from them, so stay tuned, and be sure to visit their website for more details and pedals!
