Oil Can Delay Emulation For Warm, Modulated Tones
The Black Fountain faithfully recreates the distinctive sound of oil can delays, celebrated for their warm, dark repeats with natural modulation. This model's "Rate" and "Depth" controls let you fine-tune the speed and intensity of the modulation, while the "Tone" and "Grit" knobs shape the warmth and drive of the delay repeats. The result is a delay effect that adds texture and character to your playing, whether you're dialing in haunting echoes or subtle doubling. This attention to tonal detail ensures a delay effect that feels as dynamic as it sounds.
Dual Delay Times For Creative Rhythmic Possibilities
With independent "Time L" and "Time R" controls, this stereo delay pedal offers unparalleled flexibility in creating complex rhythmic patterns. Each delay time can also be subdivided into six preset tempos when holding the Tap footswitch, enabling precise synchronization with your performance. The "Feedback" knob allows for endless repeats or controlled trails, making it easy to craft anything from cascading soundscapes to tightly controlled rhythmic effects. These dual delay times provide the foundation for wide-ranging sonic experimentation and layered textures in your music.

The "Tap/Aux" switch serves multiple purposes, from tapping in tempo to engaging infinite feedback or switching presets. These advanced electronics make the Black Fountain a versatile choice for live performances and studio work alike.
