The Aether

Modulating Delay The initial vision for the design of The Aether came shortly after the release of the Wardenclyffe Deluxe.  I wanted to steal design philosophies and incorporate tonal characteristics that made the Wardenclyffe so special, but this time as a delay pedal.     At the heart of The Aether is a PT2399, tap tempo delay.  It has the standard Echo, Feedback, and Time controls you would expect on any delay, but what makes it special is the Color, Saturation, and Degrade Controls.  The Color toggle completely changes the character of the Aether and has two voices: Warm Analog and Bright Tape.  The Saturation knob is a gain adjustment that overdrives the delay chip.  In my opinion, the PT2399 chip takes gain and drive better than any other chip.  The Degrade toggle adds lofi textures and artifacts to the delay line.  The Degrade toggle removes a very vital section of the delay circuitry that keeps the delay stable with longer delay times.  As you increase the delay time, the arti
