Any dull sound can be transformed with two simple ingredients: A great idea and a great delay. Comeback Kid brings you the delay – and inspires you to come up with new ideas on repeat.

The effect layout resembles the simplicity of the best hardware delays: There are no sub-menus or hidden features. Instead, you get 14 gratifying ‘shaping knobs’ for instantly sculpting your wet signal. Want a tape delay vibe for your lead synth? A modern slap on your vocals? A crunchy lofi echo on your guitars? Not a problem! The on-board parameters can cover an endless variety of styles when mixed and matched.

Comeback Kid gives you pristine sound quality along with the versatility to cover a variety of mix duties, from subtle reflections to hypnotic echoes. It might just become your new go-to delay!
