Introducing Silos™ Multi-Generational Time Reflection Device
That’s right, we’ve taken a digital delay, an analog delay, and a tape delay and merged them all together as one pedal with six presets, a tap-tempo, and user assignable expression control. Each of the three modes offers up to one second of delay time which allows it to be a longer delay than our other delay pedals. From noon and back is 500 milliseconds to zero, which has its own character. From 500 milliseconds to one second of delay time, it’s an entirely different beast. Dial them in for shorter delay times where they really excel and add loads of atmosphere and vibes. Push them further for rhythmic delays that are perfect for strumming and adding extra ambiance for your riffs. And the tap tempo is truly precise and responsive so you can lock in your rate quickly within the first revolutions.
Mode D: Digital Delay – The Digital mode offers bright repeats that decay nicely while staying strong as it degrades and diminishes in high end. The shorter settings are where you can get the real deal stutter staccato sound. Try setting this around 9 o’clock at the 200-300 millisecond range with the repeat set really high for a supremely stuttery sound.
Mode A: Analog Delay – The Analog mode is more mid-focused. The repeats degrade faster and are still dark and murky when it builds up, but without all the low-end throb that can muddy up the signal. This mode rolls off the top end and sounds particularly killer with a clean guitar signal. With distortion it cuts out overly high frequencies and sits perfectly in the mid range with a big presence.
Mode T: Tape Delay – Now this setting gets really dark and murky really fast. It builds a dark cloud underneath it where you’ll get one or two sets of repeats that are discernable, but after that, you’re in some atmospheric terrain. Reminiscent of an oil can delay, it pairs beautifully with distortion and is highly responsive to your attack. Hit it hard and it will degrade quickly or finesse it and let the murk flow.
