Thyme+

THYME+ is a digital tape machine transcending typical delay effects and spanning various multi-effect categories. Though proudly digital, THYME+ operates with the metaphor of an analog tape delay machine, with adjustable tape speed and read heads positions. Multiple read heads (multi-tap) enhance density and complexity, while feedback and filters govern the richness or darkness of the echo tails.

THYME+ is an updated and innovated version of the iconic Thyme from 2017. Alongside improved connectivity, a better audio codec, tuned and updated firmware, THYME+ features a metal enclosure, larger knobs, and a sleeker faceplate.
