  • Any dull sound can be transformed with two simple ingredients: A great idea and a great delay. Comeback Kid brings you the delay – and inspires you to come up with new ideas on repeat.

    The effect layout resembles the simplicity of the best hardware delays: There are no sub-menus or hidden features. Instead, you get 14 gratifying ‘shaping knobs’ for instantly sculpting your wet signal. Want a tape delay vibe for your lead synth? A modern slap on your vocals? A crunchy lofi echo on your guitars? Not a problem! The on-board parameters can cover an endless variety of styles when mixed and matched.

    Comeback Kid gives you pristine sound quality along with the versatility to cover a variety of mix duties, from subtle reflections to hypnotic echoes. It might just become your new go-to delay!

  • ✱ Delay setup:
    Tempo-sync modes: Straight, dotted, triplet (syncs to your DAW’s BPM). Free mode: 0.01 ms - 2500 ms.

    ✱ Accuracy:
    Double-click the numerical display and type-in your desired delay time – down to 0.01 millisecond precision.

    ✱ Ping-Pong:
    Classic stereo delay trick.

    ✱ Ducker:
    Ducks the delay signal when the dry signal is playing — for a cleaner sound.

    ✱ Lo-Cut + Hi-Cut:
    A pair of juicy, analog-modeled, filters to shape the tonal response of the wet signal.

    ✱ Attack + Sustain:
    Flexible transient designers to shape the envelope of your delay signal.

    ✱ Cheap:
    A custom 11-bit signal path inspired by vintage digital delays.

    Analog-modeled saturation algorithm, which will give you a classic tape delay sound.

    Warm and organic-sounding phasing effect that adds movement to your delays.
