Delay — is an effect that repeats a sound after a set amount of time.

<aside>

It’s like the echo you hear when you shout in the mountains.

(If you want even weirder analogies — feel free to DM me 😄)

• Slapback — a very short, single echo.
• Ping Pong — the echo bounces from left to right (or the other way around).
• Tape Delay — warm, vintage-style echo with modulation.
• Digital Delay — clean and precise repetitions.

Fun fact:

In the 1970s, Jamaican DJs started manually tweaking tape delay units during live sets — cranking knobs to create wild, endless echoes. That’s how Dub was born — a genre where delay became the star of the show.
