Are we talking about them?

Ran across the Bella-Donna Delay cruising Reverb. Not cheap by any means, but I like the cut of their jib....

From the Reverb listing:

"The Belladonna is a delay with a frequency modulated oscillator folding itself into the feedback path of a delay, giving drifting tremolo/modulation, rising/falling repeats, warped bell like harmonics, and more.
Functions:
R -repeats/ feedback
T - delay time( when set to zero, R can controlhow much modulation/ how many harmonies get added to your signal!)
F- modulation oscillator center frequency
V- wet/dry mix
3xO- offsets: these 3 knobs work together to offset the amplitude, slope, and period of the frequency modulation/wavefolding.(Modulation speed can go anywhere from lfo tremolo type repeats, to rising/falling shepard tones, to ultrasonic bubbling.)"

Hmmmm

What say you?

Second Rodeo--a sample rate reducer fed into a delay fed into a second sample rate reducer fed back into the delay....

Seems somewhat slightly ILFian, no?

The belladonna sounds awesome! Strange take on a demo vid, but if anything I'm more intrigued now than I would have been.

Zippery Slipper: "A pair of ring modulators, one with frequency modulation, one with pulse width modulation, working together to give subtle warbling & tonal changes, shimmery phasing filters, to screaming waves of pitch following space sirens"

Sorry for shilltastic triple post

I have no idea who or what these people are; just zoinked by the zing of new discovery....

[Dandolin]

Bella Donna is my fav so far--hoping they post a demo of the Marma Resonating Delay....

"A resonating delay, using a sextet of filters pulling highs, lows, and cross sections of frequencies from the delay path, creating hollow distant echos, distinct rhythmic thuds & chimes, to ringing swells of intense but controllable feedback."

I saw these a while ago - probably via reverb too. I couldn't be bothered getting my head around the descriptions and the videos were rad but didn't really help me understand what they were, so I never really went full on gas. So I'm going to wait until some other homie takes the plunge and does a guitar demo
But they do look rad!
Sometimes I hate being a lunkheaded guitarist.

[Dandolin]

Haha--yeah still trying to wrap my head around these descriptions and figure out whether, with some patience and maybe a matrix mixer, I might emulate some these results. But the greedyguts in me just wants to grab a shiny new pedlol with out-of-the-box-knob-mods and start tweaking. Good thing greedyguts doesn't know my bank card cvv # or PayPal password....

I like some of the sounds and concepts, but I'd want to hear them being used in a more structured and less extreme setting to get an idea of what they really are in practice, how controllable, etc. They seem fairly unique, but the general competition in the pedal landscape as you close in on $300 is stiff.

(They need to get themselves a Shark Tank and start up a tourbox.)

Have I heard of them? I'm a Frayed Knot.

They're from Weymouth, MA!

That FM on the Bella-Donna sounds good.

Look, there's some dead Indian Pipe in this photo:

I dig it man! Not sure I'd ever have a use for these but they sound unique and look cool.

[Dandolin]

Definitely looking forward to hearing more from this maker....
