Normal Devices Delay Cascade

Blend reverb and cascading analog amplification stages to create complex and abrasive textures. Expanding on the idea of running reverb into distortion, the Decay Cascade can produce lo-fi subtlety or slabs of disintegrated noise. Or both.

Dial in reverb ranging from a light bounce to saturated drones, with a maximum decay time of about 20 seconds. The reverb mix is sent to a versatile drive circuit with a voltage sag gate for extra deterioration. Combine dry, reverb, and distorted reverb layers into your desired textural mix. This then passes through a preamp stage inspired by 1960s test amplifiers that can add another boost of raw gain and crackling gated tails, with an optional low pass filter. Add a little dust and murk, or create the sound of amp death. Thankfully, there is a volume control.

Make sounds like:

• Tastefully gritty lo-fi echo
• Spitty, dying battery overdrive or fuzz
• Layers of distorted and clean reverb
• A 78 record found buried in the woods
• "Something’s not right"
• Harsh-ambient signal obliteration

Especially suited for broken sounds with gated and dusty reverb artifacts. The drive, preamp and sag settings are quite interactive, with plenty of options for fine-tuning.

Controls

• MODE  Reverb models:
  • Hall with slow pitch drift. Dark and woozy.
  • Spring with very long decay. Bright, full, and textural.
  • Lofi bucket brigade echo. Primitive and bouncy.
• LEVEL Set a reverb balance between 100% wet and dry signal.
• DECAY Set the reverb time from a short reflection to long drones.
• DRIVE A distortion channel that the reverb mix goes through in series before being mixed in parallel. Ranges from light overdrive to high gain.
• SAG Voltage starve the distortion circuit to produce a gated fuzz effect.
• MIX Create a layered mix of the original clean/reverb mix and the drive channel.
• AMP  Preamp setting (top to bottom)
  • Neutral amplification stage.
  • High gain boost with a low pass filter. Very loud and murky with gated “dust” trails.
  • High gain boost with no filter. Extremely loud and harsh with gated “dust” trails. 
• Volume. Output. Loudness. Unquiet.
