The first thing to keep in mind about the CSIDMAN is that it completely embraces and makes no apologies for the fact that it is digital (though it does have a 100% analog dry path). Digital is the CSIDMAN's aesthetic: as a delay pedal, it strives to reproduce echoes as true to the input as possible without filtering. When you utilize its scratched-disc, stuttery, and glitchy behaviors, it is pseudo-random, yet gives you a certain amount of "control" over the randomness. We've taken the idea of your old skipping portable CD player and incorporated it into a digital delay pedal that not only does normal delay sounds (at CD quality;) but can also skip, stutter, and glitch just like your beloved old CD player.
