Repeat decay
The repeats become brighter as their tail fades.

Independent shopping perspective
Bootleg Dirty Delay is a digital delay built around a Princeton 2399 IC, voiced for tape-machine-like echoes and bucket-brigade-style behavior. At more intense or longer settings, its repeats take on a progressively lo-fi, dirtier character. The Dirt circuit adds gain directly to those repeats. A Tap Tempo input allows remote interval setting with a momentary switch, letting the player set delay time away from the pedal.
