Comeback Kid

CREATIVE DELAY PLUGIN

A delay worth waiting for

Comeback Kid is an intuitive delay plugin that lets your sounds return as a better version of themselves — loaded with character and analog flavor.

The effect lay-out is inspired by the creative workflow of hardware. There are no sub-menus or hidden features. Just an ultra-flexible delay engine — along with 14 ‘flavor knobs’ to add sonic goodness to your wet signal.

Features

SETUP YOUR DELAY:
Tempo–sync modes: Straight, dotted, triplet (syncs to your DAW’s BPM).

ADD CHARACTER TO YOUR DELAY:

• Lo-Cut + Hi-Cut: A pair of juicy, analog modeled*, filters.
• Attack + Sustain: Flexible transient designers.

• Swirl: Warm and organic-sounding phasing effect.
• Sauce: Algorithmic reverb.
• Wider: Widening algorithm, utilizing the HAAS effect.
• Ping-Pong: A classic stereo delay trick.

• Ducker: Ducks the delay signal when the dry signal is playing — for a cleaner, more modern sound.

Get the most out of Comeback Kid

Hyper-accurate delays:
You can set your delays down to 0.01ms precision when in free mode. Do so by double-clicking the numerical display and typing in your desired delay time.

Off-mode:
Double click the “Comeback Kid” logo to disable the delay engine. This allows you to use the plugin’s flavoring tools on your dry signal — like a regular multi FX / color box.

Delay Styles:
Want a tape delay vibe for your lead synth, a modern slap on your vocals and a crunchy lofi echo on your guitars? Not a problem! The on-board flavoring tools can cover an almost endless variety of delay styles when mixed and matched. (Double click any knob to reset its value for a quicker workflow).

Daytime / Night time:
To those who work long hours in the studio, we created an alternative perspective to keep the eyes intrigued. Switch between day-view and night-view by clicking the top-left symbol.
