Dive into the world of modular synthesis with the Erica Synths Pico BBD, a compact powerhouse that packs a punch in just 3HP. This Eurorack module harnesses the warmth and texture of a genuine 4092 bucket brigade delay (BBD) chip, capable of delivering up to 300 milliseconds of delay. What sets the Pico BBD apart is its commitment to preserving your sound's full spectrum. Unlike many BBD modules that incorporate a lowpass filter (LPF) to manage noise, the Pico BBD retains all high-frequency content, allowing you to explore a rich array of sonic textures without compromise.

Whether you're after subtle chorusing or aggressive flanging, the Pico BBD delivers with remarkable flexibility. Thanks to its CV-controllable Time parameter, you can sculpt your sound with precision, crafting anything from gentle, swirling echoes to chaotic, space-bending effects. Ideal for sound designers and musicians alike, this module thrives in environments where creativity knows no bounds. It's more than just a delay; it's a window into uncharted auditory adventures.

Key Features:

• True all-analog circuitry for authentic warmth and depth
• Genuine 4092 BBD chip for historic delays with modern flexibility
• No LPF at the output preserves the full spectrum of your signal
• Up to 300ms delay time for a wide range of effects
• CV control of delay time for detailed sonic sculpting
• Onboard protections to prevent damage from over-voltage issues

FAQs

What type of delay does the Erica Synths Pico BBD module provide?

The Erica Synths Pico BBD module provides an analog bucket brigade delay (BBD), known for its warm, vintage character and unique modulation capabilities, ideal for creating lush, evolving soundscapes.

How much space does the Pico BBD occupy in a Eurorack setup?

The Erica Synths Pico BBD occupies 3HP in a Eurorack setup, making it a compact choice for modular synthesists looking to save space while adding delay effects.

Is the Pico BBD suitable for beginners in modular synthesis?

Yes, the Erica Synths Pico BBD is suitable for beginners due to its straightforward design and essential delay functionality, allowing new users to explore analog delay effects without complexity.

Can the Pico BBD be used for both audio and CV signals?

The Erica Synths Pico BBD is designed primarily for audio signals, offering classic delay effects, but it can also process control voltage (CV) signals for creative modulation possibilities.

What is the power consumption of the Pico BBD module?

The Pico BBD module consumes 35mA on the +12V rail and 10mA on the -12V rail, so ensure your power supply can accommodate these requirements in your Eurorack setup.
