Death By Audio released the limited edition Exploding Head Triple Delay on November 30, 2022, a pedal the maker describes as a "triple delay dream maker/destroyer system in an ultra-small footprint"¹. It marks the 13th anniversary of the A Place To Bury Strangers album Exploding Head and looks back to the Ghost Delay, which Pedal of the Day calls "the now legendary and unobtainable Ghost Delay"¹.

The pedal has three delay circuits connected in series, labeled BLACK, GRAY and RED, each with its own Time, Feedback and Blend controls¹². Time runs from about 10ms to about 600ms, and at maximum each Blend knob makes the repeats louder than the clean signal². A stereo output section sends all three delays mono with a TS cable; with a TRS cable the first two delays go to the Ring connection and the third to the Tip¹. A momentary Infinity footswitch feeds the third delay into the first, and the first delay's Blend knob sets the volume of that feedback¹².

Delicious Audio reports the pedal was released as a Reverb exclusive, limited to 500 units, each bundled with a 13th anniversary double LP of Exploding Head remastered by Oliver Ackermann and pressed on clear vinyl². Neither source gives a price.

The two sources name the pedal differently: Pedal of the Day calls it the Exploding Head Triple Delay, while Delicious Audio calls it the Exploding Head Echo Destroyer¹².
