Introduction
Little Spacey is delay effect, inspired by classic analogue ‘bucket brigade’ delays but with
refinements only possible in the digital arena - not to mention a maximum delay time that
would cost a small fortune to realise in hardware.
Great care has been taken to give Little Spacey the smooth, creamy sound which makes
analogue delays still popular today.
In common with the best analogue delays Little Spacey allows you to modulate the delay
time for chorus or vibrato effects. Unlike most analogue delays, Little Spacey is not restricted to mono operation, and works well in stereo or multi-channel (AU only) settings,
offering variation of the effect between the channels for particularly rich and involving
sounds.
