The Delay 

The delay section of the Holy Era is pretty special in and of 

itself. It keeps your original signal completely analogue, and 

uses a digital chip specifically designed to sound like the 

analogue BBD chips of old. This means you get full, lush, 

analogue-sounding delay with a  few modern advantages. 

The first of these advantages is the increased delay time. 

Almost all analogue delays can’t manage more than 300ms of 

delay: the Holy Era more than triples that to up to 950ms of 

delay time. As the delay time is increased, the repeats 

degrade and darken, just like a real analogue delay. You get 

the best of both worlds! 

The Repeats control goes from one single repeat to insane 

self-oscillation, where the repeats then repeat on themselves 

and the repeats then repeat on themselves and the repeats 

then repeat on themselves. 

The Holy Era’ signal circuit is also designed to sound 

articulate and present even with modern distortion tones. 

But that’s not all.
