The DRAG™ Analog Delay reimagines what analog delay can do through aggressive time-warping control, expanded modulation, and performance-driven features.
Available now worldwide through local retailers and online, the DRAG combines classic analog BBD delay with new patent-pending functionality designed to push delay effects well beyond traditional boundaries.
Built around an all-analog bucket brigade design, the DRAG delivers up to 750 milliseconds of delay time, extendable to 1.5 seconds via its Rubbernecking™ function. From tight slapback echoes to drifting, modulated repeats and controllable runaway oscillation, the pedal is designed to move fluidly between familiar delay sounds and more unpredictable, expressive territory. Four standard delay controls: Time, Feedback, Level, and Filter, with two performance controls unique to the DRAG: Drift™, and Friction™, provide detailed command over delay response, tone shaping, and modulation behavior.
At the center of the DRAG experience are its time-warping features, including Rubberneck, SlideStop™, and Evade™ Friction categories. Engaged via the footswitch and Friction control, these functions allow players to manipulate delay time and pitch in real time. SlideStop™ can bring the delay signal to a complete stop before ramping it back up, while Evade introduces alternate motion behaviors such as HopStop™ and Slide-n-Go™. Rubbernecking adds octave-up and octave-down pitch shifting tied directly to delay time changes, opening further performance possibilities.
Modulation capabilities are equally deep, with four selectable waveforms: sine, reverse saw, square, and random. Plus, three intensity ranges: light, medium, and heavy. The Drift control adjusts modulation depth and speed, while the Curve™ control shapes how that modulation behaves, allowing users to dial in anything from subtle movement to more extreme, shifting textures.
The multi-function footswitch expands control beyond simple on/off operation, A short press engages or bypasses the pedal according to the selected bypass mode. Holding the footswitch activates the Friction feature, allowing expressive real-time control over SlideStop, RubberNeck, and Evade features. The two controls next to the footswitch are Drift and Friction change The DRIFT settings. The button in the middle of the pedal allows you to select between multiple bypass modes including True Bypass, and buffered options with delay tails. For extended control, a 3.5mm input supports connection to an optional FS3X footswitch, enabling tap tempo, oscillation hold, and modulation toggling.
Housed in an aluminum chassis with a top-jack design, the DRAG also introduces a patent-pending reversible StagePlate™. This two-sided plate allows players to switch between a Tire Tread Skid Pad for added stability and a hook surface for secure pedalboard mounting.
The DRAG runs on a standard 9V DC power supply, measures 4.8” x 2.8” x 1.5”, and weighs 0.67 lbs., making it a compact yet feature-rich addition to any setup.
