Strymon pedal olive delay

Description

A well-oiled machine. Go back in time, to an era when audio effects were still unexplored territory, and experience the smooth, vintage sound of an authentic oil can echo. From dark, modulated repeats to sustained textures that approach the sound of classic spring reverb tanks, Olivera is the first pedal emulation that truly captures the mechanical, yet extremely organic, nature of these peculiar machines, bringing a funky inspiration to everything it encounters. Controls: Time: The Time knob determines the delay time of the repeats by adjusting the rotation speed of the oil can. Some vintage units had a fixed speed, but we have allowed the rotation speed to vary between approximately 200ms and 800ms in the total delay time, which can be further modified. Control: Vintage echo units had only one record head and two playback heads. The distance between the playback and record head determined the decay time of the echo, and with this switch you can choose between Short, Long, or Both. The Short setting selects the head closest to the record head for the shortest echo, while the Long setting is the Both setting activates both heads simultaneously, providing the repeats with an asymmetric and complex soundscape. Mix: This control determines the mix of the wet and dry signal, with a 50/50 mix of wet and dry achieved at approximately 3 o'clock on the knob. Rate: Controls the speed of the modulation. Intensity: Controls the intensity of the modulation, where the modulation becomes much more prominent in the audio mix the higher the knob position. Regeneration: This control was called reverb in vintage units and controls the amount of echo repeats that are fed back into the can to be reprocessed. Higher settings of the knob create a reverberant and atmospheric character, which many would say is one of the distinguishing elements of the sound character of a can echo.
