Mystery brain delay fra Nocturne
Varebeskrivelse
Stand: Som ny - ingen synlige brugsspor
Et unikum af en delay boks fra Tavo og Nocturne pedals. Mystery brain BS-301
Jeg vil næsten ligge hovede på blokken og sige der KUN er den herhjemme i DK. De bliver lavet i små batch og en meget alsidig delay med preamp, boost og fotocelle funktion for et slidt bånd.
Jeg får den desværre ikke brugt og burde jo nok beholde den bare for at eje den 😀 men så heller videre til nogen som kan få glæde af den.
Ny pris i US 315 US dollars.

If you think of the Mystery Brain as a Roland Space Echo RE-301 with the tape echo in emulation, you wouldn't be far off. Designer Tavo Vega intends this pedal to be the total solution for the guitarist looking for the classic one-two punch of rockabilly revival king Brian Setzer's tone: the left hook is the analog pre-amp section duplicating the RE-301's, and the right cross is the digitally emulated tape echo with modulation.
Either section can be used on its own, and the pre-amp can be goosed by a separate boost stomper labeled "Abby." You also get a Bass Cut knob in case you need to trim low end when the pre-amp is cranked.
Delay time ranges from so short you can’t hear it to about 600 ms; at max delay times, some hiss is introduced. As befits an analog tape emulator, each repeat gets darker, thinner, and more garbled - with a unique voice that's not exactly like other delay-with-mod pedals I'm familiar with (and I've heard a bunch).
Modulation can be switched in and out, and has controls for Speed and Depth which take you far into Deluxe Memory Man territory. However, modulation is not implemented as a smooth sine wave, but with an offset that lopes hypnotically at slow speed, turns into a clickety-clack at faster speeds, and a keening alien carrier wave at max.
It's essentially a pitch vibrato which becomes more extreme with increasing delay times - ranging from a mild and subtle vibrato at slapback times (at 9:00 on the dial) to a full step either side of the fretted note at noon to an impressively seasick minor third (both ways!) at the full CCW 5:00 position. Speed ranges from a glacial 3 seconds per full dip-return-rise-return cycle to a nervous flutter (never nearing ring mod territory).
Repeats range from one to infinity; you can introduce self-oscillation by around 1:00 on the dial, and easily set it to hang with you - where it creates everything from a rail-like rhythm to a wind-whistling whine, depending on delay time and modulation - or you can run it right off the rails in a magnificent train wreck of noise.
All in all, this pedal has freaky soundscaping possibilities no rockabilly cat would ever admit to using. So this ain'no one-track choo-choo here, buddy. This train can ride a twisted track.
The Mystery Brain was intended to turn a Fender(y) tube amp into the total contemporary rockabilly solution, and it does that. But it makes a mighty fine 5-knob tape echo machine in its own right, and the pre-amp does wonders for the tone of nearly any guitar rig, lifting and separating notes for punch, authority, and a characteristic gnarl Tavo calls "gritttsch."
Buy it for the unique and entertaining tape echo and get a killer pre-amp free...or buy it for the combo it provides. Either way, this train runs on time.
These are hard to find - but you just found one!
