Description
This is a used Strymon Brigadier delay pedal. The item pictured is the one you will receive. It has been tested and gone over by the experts at our shop to ensure it’s working properly and is free of issues, unless otherwise noted in this listing. Please read the description carefully and check over all photos for condition and wear. We do our best to describe all items as best as possible and note any wear we find, but please be considerate that it is a used piece and it won’t be perfect. We pack all items with care when shipping them. If you have any questions about this or any other piece of gear we have, please let us know and we’ll be happy to help!

Condition Notes:
– Condition: 9.5/10
– Any wear of note: This pedal is in near mint condition! It shows extremely minimal and extremely light signs of use upon very close inspection. But it’s in full working order and, again, in near mint condition!
– General notes: The Brigadier is a really amazing sounding bucket brigade style delay! Its feature set makes it super flexible and useable, so it’s got you covered in nearly any situation. And they’re discontinued and only getting more rare. But really just an incredible delay!
– Accessories included: Original box and power supply only.

BRIGADIER dBucket Delay
———-
Front Panel
TIME: Controls the delay time according to the selected delay mode. Delay clock is continuously variable so that turning it while repeats are happening can produce interesting pitch effects.
MIX: Controls the balance of dry signal and wet signal from 100% dry at minimum to 100% wet at maximum. The mix occurs entirely in analog. Set to 3:00 to get a 50/50 mix.
REPEATS: Varies the number of repeats from one to runaway oscillation. When set to 3:00, a sustained infinite repeat is achieved without runaway.
BUCKET LOSS: Controls the amount of bucket loss at each stage in the dBucket algorithm, from no loss at minimum, to full noisy loss at maximum. Set to 3:00 to get maximum distortion loss with just a hint of noise. Increasing from 3:00 adds more noisy loss. TIP: Hold TAP and BYPASS while turning the knob to adjust the filter for darker or brighter repeats (see pg 5 for more info).
MOD: Adds LFO modulation to the delay time. Modulation is off at minimum setting. The modulation speed is slow in the first half of the knob, and fast in the second half of the knob, increasing in intensity as the knob is turned clockwise.
MODE SWITCH: Controls the delay time range by adjusting the number of dBucket ‘chips’ in the delay. Short mode ranges from 40ms to 400 ms, med from 100ms to 1000ms, and long from 500ms to 5s
TAP SWITCH: Changes the tap subdivision between quarter notes, dotted eighth notes, and eighth note triplets.
TAP FOOTSWITCH: Tap quarter notes to set the delay time. The TAP LED will flash to indicate the tempo. TIP: Holding the tap footswitch will result in infinite repeats.
BYPASS FOOTSWITCH: Engages and disengages effect. Bypass mode is true bypass by default. LED on indicates that the effect is engaged. TIP: Hold the bypass footswitch during power up to change the bypass mode to analog bypass with trails (delay persist).
TIP: Hold down BYPASS and TAP while turning the MIX knob to achieve a +/- 3dB boost or cut when the pedal is engaged (12:00 on the Mix knob is unity gain).
