The Hydra Delay is a digital delay pedal that emulates the sound of a multi-head drum-style delay. It features a 24LC32A EEPROM with the Hydra algorithm preloaded. The pedal has several controls that allow you to shape the delay effect to your liking.

The Speed control adjusts the rotation speed of the drum, which in turn affects the delay time. This allows you to control the length of the delay effect.

The Swell control determines the number of repeats in the delay. Turning it up will increase the number of repeats, while turning it down will decrease them.

The Age control adjusts the age of the drum, which affects the overall tone and character of the delay. This control allows you to add vintage or worn-out characteristics to the delay sound.

The Level control adjusts the overall output level of the delay effect. This allows you to match the volume of the delay with your dry signal or adjust it to your desired level.

The Mix control adjusts the wet/dry mix of the delay effect. At 100% dry, you will only hear your original signal, while at 100% wet, you will only hear the delayed signal. This control allows you to blend the two signals to create the desired balance.

The Heads control toggles the four playback heads on or off. This allows you to choose which heads are active in the delay effect, giving you more control over the complexity and texture of the delay sound.
