Overview

OLDTIMER perfectly captures the unique characteristics of 60s bucket brigade delay (BBD) and 70s digital systems in one dual-topology delay. Seamlessly blend these decade-defining delays to create characterful vintage echoes with entrancing rhythmic and spatial effects. 

Analog and digital echo as one

OLDTIMER is so much more than two in one. It is made to merge – turning the topology control seamlessly blends the warmth of analog BBD with the shimmering sparkle of 70s digital delay. Create new hybrid analog/digital delays, full of vintage character, tone and the best attributes of digital and analog delay. 

Authentic iconic delays 

NEOLD has painstakingly modelled the components of each recording icon. From the capacitors of the BBD, to AD/DA random access memory system of the digital delay. Turn the Typology control all the way to get the pure sound of each delay. Set them to short delay times to add thickness and tone of vintage studio gear to your tracks. 

Echoing vintage grooves  

A satisfying suite of controls makes it fun to create perfectly timed delays. Create unique polyrhythms and grooves with accents that evolve with each repetition. Adjust delay times from 10 ms to 2.5 seconds. Tempo sync OLDTIMER with your DAW tempo for rhythmic precision.

Shape space and tone

OLDTIMER makes it easy to create captivating delay effects. Use Spread for reverb-esque patterns and greater focus and separation. Turn Style for crossfaded routing ranging from stereo to fully overlapping ping pong effects. Blend sine into random waveforms with adjustable depth and speed in the modulation section. Want some dub in your tracks? Just hit Glitch. You’ll love it.
