The HOFA Colour Delay provides you with all the iconic delay sounds for your productions. With four unique delay styles that can be freely combined, there are no limits to the retro feeling and your creative freedom.
“When developing the Colour Delay, two things were vital for us: we wanted any imaginable sound to be realizable with just a few clicks. And combining the different colours should be really fun!”
Fabian Freitag & Jochen Sachse from HOFA-Plugins

More InformationThe Colour Delay offers you four styles in the feedback loop: Tape, Bucket Brigade, Digital and Destruction. Activate these sound variants individually or combine them as you wish for completely new and extraordinary delay sounds. You can easily customize the sequence of the individual style modules using drag & drop.
This style gives you the sound and characteristics of analog tape machines. Create delay effects with warmth, saturation and the characteristic imperfections of old tape recorders.
The Bucket Brigade Delay is based on analog circuits in which a bucket brigade and a compander shape the sound. It has a soft, dark sound in which lo-fi artifacts and dynamic noise add a typical character.
Do you want the agreeable shortcomings of the first digital delays for your production? The “Digital” style emulates aliasing and quantization distortions caused by low sampling rates and bit depths.
The Destruction style combines tube and clip controls for a powerful, saturated sound. This gives you warm tube distortion and crunchy clipping for creative sound experiments and impressive soundscapes.
The interactive display gives you control over your delay sounds. This user-friendly interface makes it easy to create both conventional and crazy delay and echo effects.
The upper display shows the pulses over time and visualizes the modulation. Dry/wet, delay time and feedback can be adjusted directly in this diagram.
Underneath, you can adjust the fully parametric equalizer. And there is also a useful frequency analyzer.
This means you always have a perfect overview of your sound and can tweak it easily. Perfect for precise and creative sound design!
With the impressive post-delay effects for space, modulation and dynamics, you can shape your delay sound and add additional colours. Diffusion, phaser, chorus, auto pan and ducker are placed after the feedback loop and are designed to creatively shape the effect signal.
Each effect can be used individually or in combination. Thanks to the drag & drop function, the processing sequence can be easily modified.
The algorithms are specifically designed for delay to guarantee seamless integration and the best possible sound quality.
“HOFA’s Colour Delay is extremely simple and intuitive to use.”
“[…] with very little effort you can move from convincing emulations of the main delay types via various style of analogue and digital lo-fi to some useful ambient washiness.”
“It also gives you the ability to push things much further.”
“[…] the effects work very well for adding interest to the delay sound”
“It’s well worth grabbing it.”
