At its core, the Bee Bee Dee preserves the authentic analogue audio path where it truly matters, ensuring rich and organic delay tones. The digital control adds precision and flexibility, allowing you to explore new musical territories without sacrificing character. Its intuitive controls and three expressive footswitch options make it easy to set your tempo, halve delay times, or add modulation bursts, giving you dynamic performance tools right at your feet.
Built for players who value both vintage tone and modern functionality, the Bee Bee Dee is equally at home in studio setups and live performances. Its true bypass circuitry guarantees your signal remains pure when the pedal is disengaged, while the compact design fits neatly on any pedalboard. With its robust build and innovative features, this pedal invites you to push the boundaries of delay effects and transform your sound into something truly special.
The Bee Bee Dee offers three unique delay modes to suit any musical style. Classic Mode delivers smooth, sine-wave modulated repeats reminiscent of vintage BBD delays. Lo-Fi Mode introduces dark, gritty echoes with irregular modulation for a raw, textured sound. Pitch Mode transforms the delay into a musical instrument by shifting echoes in pitch, creating harmonies and rhythmic patterns that add complexity and intrigue to your playing.
With three dedicated footswitches, the Bee Bee Dee puts expressive control at your fingertips. Tap to set your delay tempo on the fly, use the 2X switch to halve delay time and shift pitch by an octave, or engage the Mod switch to toggle modulation or add bursts of movement. These options allow for real-time manipulation of your delay sound, making it perfect for dynamic live performances.
Utilising BBD technology for the audio path ensures the Bee Bee Dee retains the warm, natural character of analogue delay. Meanwhile, digital control circuits provide enhanced stability and flexibility, allowing for precise adjustments without compromising tone. This hybrid approach offers the best of both worlds for players seeking authentic sound with modern reliability.
Measuring just 140x102x70mm and weighing 455g, the Bee Bee Dee fits comfortably on any pedalboard without taking up excessive space. Its true bypass switching preserves your tone when off, and the pedal is powered by a standard isolated 9V DC supply, making it easy to integrate into existing setups. The soft-click footswitches provide tactile feedback without noise, ensuring smooth operation during performances.
