Jam Pedals Delay Llama mk.3 Analog Delay Pedal - BBD Chip Warmth | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Jam Pedals Delay Llama mk.3 is a premium analog delay pedal built around faithful reproductions of the Panasonic MN3205 BBD chips, delivering the warm, organic repeats that defined classic tape-echo machines. Designed for guitarists and bassists who refuse to compromise their hard-earned tone, this pedal adds natural depth and dimension without coloring your core sound. Whether you're a seasoned touring musician or a studio player chasing vintage warmth, the Delay Llama mk.3 belongs on your board.
Product Overview
The Delay Llama mk.3 is handcrafted by Jam Pedals in Athens, Greece, and built around BBD (Bucket Brigade Device) chip technology — specifically, faithful reproductions of the iconic Panasonic MN3205. This analog signal path gives the pedal its defining character: repeats that bloom naturally and taper off organically, seamlessly integrating into your playing rather than sitting on top of it. The compact enclosure retains the beloved form factor of earlier versions while adding significant new functionality.
On the performance side, the mk.3 delivers up to 600ms of maximum delay time, making it equally suited to slapback country tones, lush ambient textures, and everything in between. The three main controls — Level, Time, and Repeats — keep operation intuitive and musical. The pedal is also fully compatible with bass guitars, expanding its utility across players and genres.
The mk.3 edition introduces Tap Tempo with quarter, eighth, and dotted eighth note subdivisions via a 3-way toggle switch, plus a Hold (self-oscillation) function for experimental textures. Players can also choose between true bypass and trails (buffered) bypass modes, giving you precise control over how the pedal behaves when switched off. Two internal trimmers allow further customization of trails fade-out time and maximum repeat count.
Ideal For
- Guitarists and bassists seeking warm, tape-like analog delay with natural-sounding repeats
- Pedalboard minimalists who want straightforward, musical controls without menu-diving
- Touring musicians at No Limit Guitar Co Idaho Falls who need a reliable, road-tested delay pedal
- Ambient and experimental players exploring self-oscillation and rhythmic subdivision textures
- Studio recording artists demanding an organic analog delay that enhances tone rather than masks it
Key Features
BBD Analog Circuit The heart of the Delay Llama mk.3 is its BBD chip design, using faithful reproductions of the Panasonic MN3205. This analog signal path produces repeats with the warmth and natural degradation of vintage delay units — each echo is slightly softer and warmer than the last, just like a real tape-echo machine.
Tap Tempo with Subdivisions A dedicated Tap Tempo input works in conjunction with a 3-way toggle switch to select between quarter note, eighth note, and dotted eighth note subdivisions. Note: subdivisions are calculated relative to the tapped tempo, not the Time knob position.
Hold / Self-Oscillation The Hold function sends the delay into self-oscillation, creating infinite, swelling repeats ideal for ambient soundscaping and experimental playing. Engage it for controlled chaos or use it subtly for evolving textural layers.
Selectable Bypass Mode Choose between true bypass (signal goes direct when off) or trails bypass (buffered, allowing repeats to fade naturally after disengagement). This flexibility makes the Delay Llama mk.3 suitable for any signal chain configuration.
Internal Trimmers Two internal trimmers allow deeper customization: one multi-turn trimmer (blue rectangle with golden screw) sets the maximum number of repeats, while a second trimmer — accessed via the hole on the center of the top PCB — adjusts the trails fade-out time.
