get sounds you’d imagine would come
from traveling through time and space.
Fast-forward a few years later and
we were still receiving requests from
customers wanting to know when it
would be released. I used it on several
Periscope and YouTube videos through
the years and the questions would
always come up about that circuit and
when it would eventually be released.
Again, it wasn’t something I planned
on releasing, and it was stuck on the
shelf for awhile. With the release of the
Ethereal a few months ago, we’ve had
a lot of requests for a more ambient-
based standalone delay as well, with
a more “tweakable” nature to it. The
Doctor fit that bill, as it sits firmly
between the Ethereal and our other
delay, the Faux Tape Echo v2 in terms
of functionality and experimental
ambient tones. It needed a new name
and when tweaking the knobs you can
The part that makes The Doctor special
is the Tone control. It’s not a traditional
tone knob in that it controls the high-
end content of your notes, but more
so a filter that goes from a basic delay
for everyday purposes, proceeding into
an analog-esque territory, all the way
to swirling ambient oscillations. The
goal was to create something versatile
enough to use for the average working
musician, but the ability to take it
above and beyond to create something
that would sit under your notes and
really lift your tone to the next level.
This is the first pedal to feature our
new 1/8” tap tempo in’s and out’s, and
there will be a lot more fun and exciting
things to follow with that functionality
in the future. This is just the beginning..
