DOD Drag Analogue Delay Pedal

The DOD Drag Analogue Delay is a wildly expressive bucket brigade delay pedal that takes classic echo tones and twists them into something completely new. With up to 750 ms of rich analogue repeats, extending to 1.5 seconds in Rubberneck mode, plus patent-pending Friction time warping and a suite of performance tricks under your feet, it is built for players who want their delay to be an instrument in its own right.

At its core, Drag delivers warm, musical repeats with controllable runaway oscillation and intuitive Delay Time, Repeats and Level controls. Around that, DOD have wrapped a powerful Drift modulation section, multiple waveform options and a clever footswitch system that lets you bend pitch, freeze your signal, warp time and trigger stutter-like effects without touching a knob. Top-mounted jacks and a reversible StagePlate make it equally at home on a busy pedalboard or straight on the floor.

Analogue Bucket Brigade Delay With Attitude

Drag is built around an analogue Bucket Brigade Device delay engine, giving you the saturated, organic repeats that digital units struggle to match. Up to 750 ms of delay time covers everything from tight slapback to spacious ambience, with the natural high-frequency roll-off and gentle compression that make BBD delays sit beautifully in a mix. Push the Repeats control and you can coax controllable self-oscillation for drones, swells and feedback-laden soundscapes.

Rubberneck Mode and Friction Time Warping

Engage Rubberneck mode and the maximum delay time stretches out to a cavernous 1.5 seconds, opening the door to huge, atmospheric echoes and experimental textures. The patent-pending Friction system lets you warp delay time on the fly via the footswitch, creating pitch dives, rises and glitchy time shifts without touching the knobs. It is a powerful way to add drama to transitions, punctuate phrases or turn simple lines into evolving, animated parts.

Creative Footswitch Performance Tools

The Drag footswitches unlock a suite of performance-focused tricks including SlideStop signal freeze, Rubberneck pitch bending, HopStop and Slide-n-Go Evade effects. These modes let you momentarily grab and hold your sound, stutter it rhythmically or duck in and out of delay for dynamic, DJ-like manipulation. Because they are all under your feet, you can treat the pedal as a live performance tool, reacting in real time to the band and the crowd.

Drift Modulation and Pedalboard-Friendly Design

The Drift control adds modulation to your repeats with four selectable waveforms: sine, reverse saw, square and random. From subtle tape-like wobble to choppy, lo-fi warble and unpredictable pitch scatter, it lets you tailor the movement and character of your echoes. Top-mounted jacks keep your board tidy, while the reversible StagePlate allows you to configure the pedal for either floor use or snug pedalboard mounting. An external FS3X input also gives you access to tap tempo and remote control when you need even more hands-free flexibility.

• Analogue BBD Delay Engine - The Bucket Brigade Device circuit delivers warm, musical repeats with natural high-end roll-off, perfect for vintage slapback, lush ambience and expressive self-oscillation that blends effortlessly with your dry tone.
• Rubberneck Mode up to 1.5 Seconds - Standard operation offers up to 750 ms of delay, while Rubberneck mode extends this to 1.5 seconds, giving you huge echo tails and expansive soundscapes ideal for post-rock, ambient and cinematic playing.
• Friction Time Warping and Performance Footswitch Modes - Patent-pending Friction time warping, plus SlideStop, Rubberneck, HopStop and Slide-n-Go Evade effects, let you bend pitch, freeze notes and create stutter-like textures on the fly, turning the pedal into a powerful live performance tool.
• Drift Modulation with Four Waveforms - The Drift control offers sine, reverse saw, square and random modulation, so you can dial in anything from gentle tape-style wobble to aggressive, glitchy movement for truly unique delay textures.
