Hello
I really like the Lyrebird, Drench ans velvet effect

What are the equivalent external boxes that will perform the same effect ? Strymon Timeline & Bigsky ?

ps : Is it possible to use these effects as VST effect ?

I don't know about the pedals, but I can answer your ps:
1/ Lyrebird as an extended vst version = the u-he plugin ColourCopy.
2/ Drench is (as I've recently learned in this forum) the same reverb as Zebra2's NuRev. And NuRev is available as a vst in Zebrify, the effect rack that comes bundled with Zebra2.
3/ Velvet is in fact taken from u-he's vst Satin, their brilliant tape emulation.

So yes, all those 3 are available as vsts, even though Drench/NuRev requires a license to Zebra2, which is in fact u-he's most expensive synth.

i think he meant hardware.
but very good pointers.
ColourCopy is a bucket brigade delay. Search for BBD delay pedals.
Satin is a reel-to-reel, the closest "external" box is a reel-to-reel deck.you could try a cassette deck, but it might be over-pronounced compared to velvet.

Thank you for that summary.

Small detail: At €99, Zebra is no longer our "least inexpensive" synth.

As the name suggests, the MXR Carbon Copy pedal (or rather "Carbon Copy Bright") was pretty much our reference pedal and base circuitry for Colour Copy. The outcome is however not a specific emulation as such, because it's filled with features the pedal does not have, and I would at this point not even know which of Colour Copy's Settings resemble the pedal the closest.

It's a good pedal though. I liked it.
