I guess there's a decent overlap between people that care about dusty old BBD delays and dusty old BBD modulationAmberience wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 7:13 pmI'm not against multiple delay lines to be clear, but yes this was a decision I made originally, because the intent was to model stompboxes, which tend to be single delay lines. Let me give it some thought. I genuinely didn't expect people would want to use this as a modulation plugin. Doesn't seem like a bad idea.dubguy99 wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 5:49 pm Looks awesome!!!
Would multiple delay lines be too computationally expensive or is it more of a design decision?
Maybe you could tuck it away in an advanced panel or something -- but I think having more than 1 line would be really cool for Dim-D / tri chorus style stuff, which has never really been done properly (in the sense of having a good BBD model) in a plugin before.
Also, I think the peak filters in the delay line are a great idea. My rack BBDs and pedals all have wildly different frequency responses with a different emphasis in the midrange, it's really not just a lowpass filter like many plugin emulations tend to go for.
But genuinely, there is such a huge gap in the plugin landscape when it comes to BBD modulation. There's nothing that sounds even remotely like my CE-300 -- or hell, no one's even done a decent Small Clone or BF-2!
Since you've already done the hard work with the BBD model to me it just seems like an easy slam dunk. You don't even have to match it to any specific modulation units necessarily -- just being able to "build" your own dream BBD mod unit with multiple delay lines sounds like a dream come true, it's the kind of thing I've been wishing somebody would make for years. It's also something that really take advantage of the possibilities of software emulation, since doing this sort of thing with real BBDs in hardware quickly gets expensive and impractical (e.g. outside of DiY, there is currently not a single in-production analog tri-chorus, and even just BBD stereo chorus is pretty rare).
