Berserker Electronics Aquanaut Delay/Echo

It’s time for everyone’s (well, mine, anyway) favorite effect pedal genre once again: DELAY. Two knobs, sixteen switches, MIDI, analog – it doesn’t matter, bring ’em all to the table and let the experimentation begin. Today’s pedal, the Berserker Electronics Aquanaut Delay/Echo, falls somewhere in the middle when it comes to delay pedals, boasting just three knobs, but easily able to fill any kind of sonic void in your rig…

Introducing the Berserker Aquanaut Delay + Echo pedal, a unique fusion of the warm, analog character of classic delay pedals and the clarity and extended time capabilities of modern digital designs. Designed for musicians who seek more than just a standard delay, the Aquanaut offers up to 600ms of delay time, allowing for longer echoes without sacrificing warmth. Unlike typical digital delays that can sound too pristine or sterile, the Aquanaut delivers a smooth, analog-inspired tone with subtle, crystalline repeats that fade beautifully into the background.

The repeats are less pronounced, blending harmoniously with your dry signal and creating an ambient, reverb-like effect that adds lush depth without overtaking your performance. Whether you’re in the studio or on stage, the Aquanaut Delay/Echo is your new go-to for crafting ambient, tape-style echoes and expanding your tonal horizons. This pedal features up to 600ms delay time for versatile, extended echoes, analog-voiced digital processing for rich, smooth repeats, a subtle reverb/ambient effect with repeats that sit behind the dry signal and intuitive controls for easy customization of Delay Time, Feedback, and Blend.

I love the range in these three simple knobs, and the tonal elements here are absolutely top-notch. The build is super solid, and the sonic quality is just off the charts.
