The Aquanaut - Analog Soul, Digital Depth
When I started building the Aquanaut I wasn’t trying to reinvent delay, I just wanted my favorite sounds in one box. I’ve always loved the rich, slightly submerged warmth of the Way Huge Aqua Puss, and the clear, articulate presence of the Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay. Each had something I couldn’t live without. But switching between them during a set, or wishing one had just a bit more of what the other offered, pushed me to do something about it.
The Aquanaut is my answer to that dilemma. It’s a hybrid delay designed to ride the line between warm and clear, vintage and modern. The repeats sit just a touch behind your dry signal. Never overpowering, never sterile. They bloom with a subtle warmth, like the Aqua Puss, but stay articulate enough to cut through a live mix, like the Deep Blue. And yes, I made sure it goes up to 600ms, because that sweet spot in delay time matters.
Inside, the circuit is tuned by ear. Hours of tweaking values and listening through different amps, guitars, and rigs until it felt right. No digital modeling. No presets. Just honest analog-voiced delay that plays well with dirt and modulation alike.
If you’re looking for a delay that doesn’t fight your tone, but joins it — whether you’re layering ambient textures or just adding some slap for leads — the Aquanaut is here to dive in.
