BABY Audio - Comeback Kid
A delay worth waiting for.
It only takes two simple ingredients to transform dull sounds or vocals: A great idea and a great delay. Comeback Kid brings you the delay – and inspires you to come up with new ideas in a split second.
The effect lay-out 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!
