Modulated Delay is one of the greatest effects on the planet, and we’ve got a pretty incredible example for you today. The Red Witch Pedals Binary Star Time Modulator provides a huge range of analog-flavored sounds, from classic slap back to vibrato-infused modulation to insane pitch-shifting and more. Buckle up, kids, we’re going on an outer space journey…
The controls section, while not seemingly too complex, provides a wide array of tonal options for you to create your own signature delay style:
Universe: controls the delay time. Unlike standard delay times the universe control increases delay time as the control is turned clockwise, but begins to reduce delay time in the last stages of its sweep. Like the classic analog delays of old, as you increase the delay time you will hear background artifacts in the sound.
Replicate: used to determine the number of repeats in longer delay settings or the resonance, in shorted delay settings.
Mix: allows you to choose any blend of Dry, Wet and Dry and 100% Wet.
Velocity: determines the rate of the modulation
Depth: determines the depth of the modulation. Set this fully counterclockwise to turn the modulation function off. This control works interactively with the Universe dial. In longer delay settings, increasing the Depth control will reduce the overall delay setting.
Left Hand Toggle: Set this switch to the right to increase overall delay time, to the left to reduce.
Right Hand Toggle: Set this switch to determine the flavor of the wet signal – to the left for a warmer sound, to the left for a brighter sound.
Hook up the Binary Star in Mono mode, or use 2 amps for a sweeping delay in Stereo mode (this splits the wet and dry signals into two outputs). This little gem sets the controls for the heart of the sun, and never even bothers to look back. Short delays, analog echoes, long repeats, oscillation and more – this one covers it all. Cheers to Ben and the Red Witch Pedals Team on another marvelous creation – be sure to check out their website for more info and more pedals. Don’t forget to watch our demo video as well to see the Binary Star Time Modulator in action as well – you’re really gonna dig it…
