  • RoutingIn and Return VCAs plus a fully wet Send output for external feedback loops

Overview

The Befaco Crush Delay V3 is an 11 HP Eurorack echo module built around the PT2399 delay chip. It gives about 400ms of clean delay and stretches into up to 2 seconds of degraded, glitchy repeats. It suits modular users who want a lo-fi delay with deep CV control, an external feedback loop and an option for raw digital noise.

  • Clean to crushed: the Time control covers clean delay in its first half and pushes the signal into crushed territory past the middle
  • Three Crush modifiers: circuit-bending switches, each with its own gate input, for glitch and noise effects
  • Voltage-controlled feedback: automatic gain control keeps levels stable at any feedback setting
  • Input and return VCAs: In Vol and Ret Vol each have a CV input normalled to 10V, so the knobs act as attenuators when CV is patched
  • Send/return loop: a fully wet Send output and a Return input for processing the repeats with external modules
  • Skiff friendly: V3 has a reduced depth along with redesigned VCA circuits and a wider clean delay range

Time, Feedback and Dry/Wet all take ±10V CV that adds to the knob position. Because the crush zone sits in the upper half of the Time range, a CV source on Time sets how much degradation reaches the wet signal. This lets you move between usable echoes and broken, artefact-heavy repeats within one patch.

The main input feeds both the delay and the Dry/Wet mix, while the Return input feeds only the delay. The processed signal goes three ways: to the Dry/Wet mixer and the main output, back into the delay through the Feedback VCA, and directly to Send. Patching a filter, wavefolder or another effect between Send and Return puts it inside the feedback path.

Since the PT2399 is circuit-bent, the module also works as a voltage-controlled digital noise generator. Uses range from ambient and drone textures to percussive sounds. The three Crush gate inputs switch at a 3V threshold, so clocks, gates or sequencer outputs can toggle the modifiers rhythmically.

The front panel is heat-treated aluminium. The module is designed in Barcelona, and this listing is the assembled version, not the DIY kit.
