Sidekick combines the most common time based effects and creative tools in a compact design , ideal for any fly-rig or small board setup. Starting with a fully analog, lush BBD chorus  for 3-dimensional sounds that can be also switched for less modulated delay time and extra feedback creating a flanger like effect. A sweet but sparky echo / delay with a maximum delay time of 700ms adds organic repeats to your tone while 3 algorithms of spacious reverb (exciter – taken from Splash mk3, plate and shimmer) create the perfect ambience.

Sidekick

s time for something new… replicating something old. Time has been redesigned once again to replicate the sound of tape and magnetic drum echoes of the past
With separate analog and digital paths to get best of both worlds, this unique sounding delay/echo will warm up your tone. An all analog signal path, featuring a Burr Brown opamp and high quality passive components, is used for the best reproduction of your dry signal. Two digital recording devices, along with carefully tuned analog filtering, placed in parallel with the analog dry path give you the most ambient echo unit you have ever heard.

Time MKII Echo

A versatile studio quality reverb in a small pedal format and user friendly design, utilizing our proven technique of paralleling analog with digital to get best of both worlds.

Features 3 different reverb algorithms fully customizable via decay and excite controls. A kill dry function is included via a push/pull knob that is great for volume swells without the need of your volume knob/pedal.

Algorithm I: The “exciter”. From a touch of ambience to spacious pad effect, especially on extreme settings.
Algorithm II: Moderate sized reverb. From a spring style reverb up to room and hall
Algorithm III : Large reverb. From hall to ambience

Quick Start Guide

Splash MK III

The perfect companion now comes in a smaller package - meet Sidekick JR !

Taking inspiration from the senior unit we released back in 2019, our goal was to create a compact pedal that would combine the most widely used time-based effects and would fit into any gear setup lurking for 80s tones and beyond. From the jangly, ambient and shimmering sounds of New Wave, Shoegaze and Synth Pop to the soaking wet tones of Hair / Glam Metal. The new Sidekick JR features even more sounds / algorithm selections compared to the senior unit.
