JAM Pedals Delay Llama

The JAM Pedals Delay Llama is an analog BBD delay pedal built around faithful reproductions of the Panasonic MN3205 chip, delivering the warm, organic repeats that defined tape-echo-style delay before the digital era. Designed for guitarists and bassists who want depth and dimension without coloring their core tone, the Delay Llama integrates naturally into any signal chain — a go-to for players in Los Angeles studios and stages where touch-sensitive feel still matters. The mk.3 version adds Tap Tempo with selectable subdivisions, a Hold function for self-oscillation, and a choice between true bypass and trails (buffered) bypass, all while preserving the straightforward three-knob layout that made this pedal a modern classic. With up to 600ms of delay time and an internal trimmer for dialing in repeat count, the Delay Llama offers the utility to work across a wide range of playing contexts.

Key Features

• Analog BBD circuit using faithful reproductions of the Panasonic MN3205 chip for warm, organic repeats that blend naturally into the dry signal
• Up to 600ms of delay time; fully compatible with bass guitar
• Tap Tempo with a 3-way toggle selecting quarter note, eighth note, or dotted eighth note subdivisions — operates relative to tapped tempo only, not the Time knob
• Hold function enables self-oscillation for ambient and experimental textures
• Selectable bypass mode: true bypass or trails (buffered) for natural decay when the effect is disengaged
• Three-knob layout — Level (L), Time (T), and Repeats (R) — keeps the interface uncluttered and intuitive
• Internal trimmer for trails fade-out time (accessed via center hole on top PCB)
• Internal multi-turn trimmer for setting maximum repeat count
