Maneco Labs pedals at Lauzon Music
What Maneco Labs is known for
Looping, drone and texture pedals, built by musicians in Uruguay, with Eurorack versions of many of them. The Sixteen Seconds Delay is inspired by the original 1983 looping delay, with an all-analog signal path around eight-bit conversion. The Small Nimbus puts the Clouds granular processor in a pedal. The Saurus pairs a silicon fuzz with a resonant synth filter, and the Otterley runs two reverbs at once.

Questions
Maneco Labs questions, answered
What does the Small Nimbus do?
It records your playing into a short buffer and plays it back as small overlapping grains, which builds textures and soundscapes. It's the Mutable Instruments Clouds in pedal format, running the Parasites firmware, and also works as a looping delay and pitch shifter.
What is the Sixteen Seconds Delay?
Maneco Labs' take on the original 1983 looping delay: up to 16 seconds of delay, slow and fast speed, reverse playback, and a footswitch for infinite repeats. Processing is eight-bit, with an analog signal path and an analog LFO for modulating time and pitch.
Is the Saurus just for guitar?
No. Maneco Labs built it for synth, bass and guitar. It combines a Darlington silicon fuzz, a three-stage resonant lowpass and bandpass filter, a delay in the filter feedback and an LFO with tap tempo, all on direct controls with no menus.
