Three delays. One warm, moving feedback path.

Saltwater Delay is built around a single hero Time control backed by eight tempo-synced divisions — or run free in milliseconds when you want it detached from the grid. Three distinct modes change the character of the repeats entirely: Clean for tight, transparent echoes; Ping-Pong for repeats that bounce across the stereo field; and Dub for trails that drift and breathe the way a tape-era dub delay does.

The feedback path is where the character lives. Dedicated low-pass and high-pass filtering — driven by the Tone knob — lets repeats darken and soften or stay bright and present, while separate clarity filtering and mud-damping keep long, high-feedback trails from turning to sludge. A touch of analog-style saturation warms every pass through the loop, so repeats pick up character the longer they circulate.

Switch into Dub mode and a subtle, slow modulation is added to the feedback path — the gentle pitch-and-time drift that gives classic dub delays their wobble. Dual RMS + Peak metering on input and output keeps levels honest, and the same save/load/delete preset workflow used across the Driftlab lineup means your favorite settings are always one click away.

• Three delay modes

  Clean, Ping-Pong, and Dub — selected with an animated 3-way switch. Each mode changes the character of the repeats, not just a routing tweak.
• Tempo-synced Time control

  Eight musical divisions from an eighth note up to four bars, or run free in milliseconds when you want the delay detached from the grid.
• Feedback tone shaping

  The Tone knob drives dedicated low-pass and high-pass filtering inside the feedback loop, so repeats can darken and soften or stay bright and present.
• Clarity & mud control

  Separate clarity high-pass filtering and mud-damping keep long, high-feedback trails from building into a muddy wash.
• Analog-style feedback saturation

  Every pass through the feedback loop picks up a touch of warmth and character, the way repeats build on real analog delay hardware.
• Dub mode modulation

  A slow, subtle drift is woven into the feedback path in Dub mode — the gentle wobble that gives classic dub delays their movement.
• Dual RMS + Peak metering

  Input and output metering with both RMS and peak readouts, matching the metering architecture used across the Driftlab lineup.
