The Strymon Brig dBucket Delay is a premium delay pedal designed to emulate the classic sound of bucket brigade (BBD) delays. It offers three distinct voicings (3205, 3005, and Multi), providing a range of tones from gritty repeats to dreamlike soundscapes. Features include full stereo I/O, MIDI integration, tap tempo, and a versatile filter control. This compact pedal is praised for its exceptional sound quality, build, and ability to create inspiring, atmospheric delays, comparable to Boss DD-2 and Catalinbread Belle Epoche.

Guitarists generally found the Brig to be a worthy successor to the Brigadier, offering a compact size and great emulation of bucket brigade delay sounds. They liked the sonic quality, ease of use, versatility, and the ability to create atmospheric effects. Many reviewers emphasized the build quality, the unique "Strymon touch", and the pedal's ability to enhance the guitar's natural sound. Some users found the sound too clean or digital, with preferences leaning towards warmer tones like those found in other pedals.
