    Welcome back to ProGuitarShop and ToneReport.com. We're taking a trip on the Bicycle Delay from Catalinbread. Named after the trip to end all trips, the Bicycle Delay stays true to its namesake by offering delay effects that previously existed only within the imagination. Different knob positions yield any amount of interesting delay textures, with repeats bathed in ring modulation, octaves, or both. The core of the Bicycle is the Mood knob, which changes the pitch and velocity of the morphing effect. Each repeat is affected any number of times in series, for limitless octave up and down repeats that take you as far as the mind will allow. The radiance control acts as a repeat filter, which interacts with the Mood control extremely well. Expanse and Reflect act as delay time and feedback controls, and when combined with the Mood and Radiance knobs, the delay tones can get downright surreal. Keeping the Expanse and Reflect controls set extremely high yields an unrelenting psychotropic experience at almost any Mood settings, because the signal never dissipates and the delay character changes with every subsequent repeats. Like all Catalinbread pedals, the Bicycle Delay is made right here in Portland Oregon with only the finest nuts and bolts.

    This is the type of delay sound that belongs on a Radiohead droning on unnoticeable until the fade out when it's one of the only few sounds left in the mix and you are like "that was there the whole time?"

      I've been listening to that album since I was about 12 years old I guess. I loved it then and I still love it now, fourty years later.
      To me that album is still the best album ever made. ❤️

    I combine the bicycle delay with the TC Electronic T2 reverb on my "psychedelic board", along with the Carcosa fuzz and a wah I can spend hours giving my neighbors nightmares.

      AgentQQ8 I think buying a new Delay opens up so much more creative options that you wouldn’t have otherwise. So it is quite clear that creativity CAN be bought to a certain degree.

  • @xxcelr8rs
    @xxcelr8rs 4 года назад +1

    It is so touchy to dial in. Millimeters make drastic changes. Its amazing. Two times it made my amp get stuck on a repeat. Turning amp off (two different amps, different days) made no difference hour later, stuck on same repeat feedback loop. I had to unplug it from the wall and wait. Very strange. Its a knuckle ball effect. I'm glad I have it for sure.

      @AndyDemos 6 месяцев назад

      Thanks so much! I was really lucky that the pedal seemed to play this tune itself. Don't forget you can always get conventional Lo-Fi delay like the last example 5:30

    • @johnhowardnardine6815
      @johnhowardnardine6815 6 месяцев назад

      Thanks, @@AndyDemos I already have the OG Belle Epoch and Echorec. They both have that wonderful, warm preamp mojo that Howard seemed to bake into all of his Catalinbread pedals. The Belle Epoch is my 'always on' pedal: just makes everything sound better. This one could be tempting waaay down the G.A.S. shopping list. You make it sound great.

    @TheFarout69 3 года назад

    Dang- it. I still want one of these. The Adineko is the other one I want. They got me for the Zero Point already- it's very cool. Coolest ideas put in an enclosure by the designer of these special effects. I think it's the Asian American guy, what's his name? George? - He's a genius with golden ears. Seriously killer tones. I build pedals too but nothing like this stuff.

    This pedal is in dire need of an Expression pedal Jack. If not that, then a MIDI in or DIP switches for the expression pedal routing, then it'd make this perfect for sound experimentation without having to kneel down to get at the controls.

    Neat idea, not very practical. The kind of sound you'd maybe use at the end of some epic tune about bullfighting & politics, capped off with this psychedlic carnival effect.
