Vahlbruch - SpaceTime V3 Echo Delay Pedal

The "SpaceTime" is a handcrafted echo pedal that uniquely combines the advantages of analog and digital audio circuits. It delivers a warm, deep delay sound, is easy to operate, and can create classic analog-style self-oscillations. Your direct (dry) guitar signal remains entirely in the analog domain, preserving its full character and dynamics without any latency. In a carefully designed parallel path, only the echo signal is generated digitally and then blended back with the original analog signal.

The "SpaceTime" features intuitive controls: "Time" sets the delay time, "Repeats" adjusts the number of echoes, and "Mix-Level" controls the volume of the effect. The "Mod" control allows smooth modulation of the delay time for added movement and texture. A toggle switch provides three tonal options — "bright", "mellow" , and "dark" — gradually reducing the high frequencies to achieve warm, natural, analog-style echoes. Internal DIP switches let you choose between true bypass and buffered bypass, as well as activate a kill-dry mode.

With these flexible options, the "SpaceTime" integrates seamlessly into any signal chain. Enjoy!

This pedal is equipped with our unique "MagTraB" switching technology:

Inside the button a magnet is integrated which position is measured by a sensor on the circuit board. If the button is now moved, e.g. if it is pressed downwards, the position of the magnet will also change. The sensor measures this change without any mechanical contact to the button and the information is send via a micro-controller to a gold-plated relay, which then does the actual audio signal switching.

The advantages of "MagTraB" footswitches:

MapTraB buttons are as good as indestructible! "MagTraB" delivers an almost infinite number of switching cycles - many, many millions!

No annoying, mechanical switch clicks! Instead, the "MagTraB" push-buttons switch very smooth and silently!

You can choose if the pedal powers up in "on" or "bypass" state.

To change the state:

Step 1: Unplug the power supply cable.

Step 2: Hold down on/off "MagTraB" button.

Step 3: Plug in again the power supply cable.

Step 4: Release on/off "MagTraB"" button.

DONE! The next time your pedal powers up it will automatically start in the other state.
