The Cmat Mods Deeelay is a delay pedal from Cmat Mods, described by its maker as a super-clean, simple digital delay pedal with up to 600 milliseconds of delay time1. It is built as a straightforward delay: three controls, no menus, no presets, in a compact, rugged enclosure RockBoard's PedalPedia says is built for the road1.
Controls
The Deeelay keeps its layout to three knobs1:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Time | Sets the delay time, up to 600 milliseconds1 |
| Repeats | Sets how many times the delay repeats1 |
| Wet/dry mix | Blends the delayed signal with your dry signal1 |
What it sounds like
RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the Deeelay's repeats as clean and uncolored: "Each repeat sounds exactly like what you played, simply repeated without any additional high-frequencies brightening up your tone"1. In other words, the maker positions it as a delay that stays out of the way of your core tone rather than adding its own character to each repeat.
How it compares
The Deeelay sits on the simple end of the delay pedal field. Where some delays add a modulation section on top of the basic repeats, such as the TC Electronic Bucket Brigade Analog Delay, which includes an optional modulation effect engaged via a Mod switch with an external Depth control and an internal trim pot for modulation speed2, the Deeelay's controls stop at time, repeats and mix1.
The maker's listing describes the Deeelay as a digital delay pedal, while the same listing's circuit type field gives analog1. The two descriptions do not agree.
Power
The Deeelay runs on 9V DC, center negative, and draws 55mA1. That current draw means it needs its own supply output or a daisy-chain output with enough headroom, rather than sharing with very low-draw pedals.

Questions
How much delay time does the Cmat Mods Deeelay have?
The Deeelay offers up to 600 milliseconds of delay time, according to its maker's product listing. That covers the shorter repeat and slapback territory most players use a straightforward delay for, set with the pedal's time control.
Is the Cmat Mods Deeelay analog or digital?
The maker's listing describes the Deeelay as a super-clean, simple digital delay pedal. The same listing's circuit type field gives analog, so the two descriptions differ; the pedal is presented as a digital delay in the listing's own text.
