Hungry Robot Moby Dick reaches V3 with stereo and eight controls

February 12, 2026 · 3 sources

Hungry Robot has released the Moby Dick Multihead Tape Style Delay in a V3 edition, reported on February 4, 2026¹ and covered again on February 12, 2026². The pedal follows the five-control V1 in a 1590BB enclosure and the compact 125B V2, also with five controls¹.

The V3 has eight controls and full stereo ins and outs¹. Its controls are Multihead, Saturation, FM Texture (White Noise Mod / Lo-Fi), Wow & Flutter, Tape Age, Double Tracker, Blend and Repeats, plus tap tempo and bypass footswitches¹. The Multihead switch sets dotted eighth fully counterclockwise, quarter-note triplets fully clockwise and off in the middle for a standard single-head delay¹. Delicious Audio describes the Multihead toggle as shifting the rhythmic subdivision between dotted eighths and quarter-note triplets, or switching the effect off entirely².

Delicious Audio describes Saturation as adding harmonic richness, Wow & Flutter as generating pitch instability, Tape Age as darkening repeats with a filtering weariness, and Double Tracker as adding fullness and subtle chorus through layered doubling². It calls FM Texture a white noise frequency modulation circuit that introduces lo-fi degradation and de-resolution². Guitar Pedal X describes FM Texture as white noise frequency modulation which, along with Tape Age, "sort of de-rezes the output"¹.

The price is $272 on the Hungry Robot webstore¹. Guitar Pedal X compares the pedal to the Klowra Rilum Delay, another multi-head tape-style delay with some similar controls, and calls the Moby Dick's FM Texture fairly unique¹. Delicious Audio describes the voicing knobs as interacting to produce sounds from pristine multi-head echo to degraded, nearly granular artifacts².

The earlier V2, announced at Summer NAMM 2018, had knobs for Mix, Repeat, Lo-Fi, Modulation and Time plus a tap-tempo switch, was built around the PT2399 delay chip, offered approximately 1000ms of delay time, was true-bypass and ran from an external 9-volt center negative power supply only, at a US list price of $197.10³.
