Bastl Instruments - Thyme+

The Bastl Thyme+ honors its predecessor! A sequenceable tape-style delay, with presets and CV inputs!

The Thyme effects unit has been unavailable for some time, which is why the return of this revised version is truly delightful!
Thyme+ is still a digital tape delay, with presets that can be sequentially switched.

The digital tape delay is the heart and soul of Thyme+. Think of running tape and tape heads playing back recorded sounds one after the other. The beauty of the digital format lies in the new possibilities and features that complement this delay type excellently. Firstly, hi-fi quality is achievable, something not possible with tape format. Of course, a bit of charming dirt can easily be welcomed, adding a certain spice to the sounds.
Thyme and Thyme+ again have been promoted particularly for their presets, which can be controlled by a sequencer. Consequently, you can instantly access finely tuned presets, which can be immensely advantageous on stage. The sound design aspects of this function are also exciting!

Thyme+ is packed with useful features like filters, an input gain stage, modulations (called Robots), random functions, a 32-step sequencer, and more to enhance your delay experience even further.
