Death By Audio Micro Dream Lo-Fi Delay and Echo Effects Pedal

The Death By Audio Micro Dream is a compact lo-fi delay pedal designed to deliver rich, decayed echoes packed with raw, characterful tone. Inspired by the legendary Echo Dream 2, this pedal distils its distinctive, unstable delay sound into a smaller format that fits effortlessly on modern pedalboards without losing any sonic edge.

Offering up to one second of delay time, the Micro Dream excels at creating textured, grainy repeats that evolve from tight slapback echoes to warped, psychedelic delay effects. Its built-in gain stage adds saturated warmth and pseudo-looping behaviour, making it a versatile tool for experimental musicians and tone seekers.

Main Features

• Compact, performance-ready lo-fi delay and echo pedal
• Inspired by the iconic Echo Dream 2 soundscape
• Delay times up to 1 second with grainy, smeared repeats
• Internal gain stage produces saturated echoes and pseudo looping
• F BACK control ranges from single repeats to wild self-oscillation
• Internal F BACK trimpot for precise feedback threshold adjustments
• Delay level can surpass the dry signal for prominent echo presence
• Ideal for slapback, psychedelic textures and creative sound design

The Micro Dream fattens your sound with warm, gritty echoes that grow increasingly unstable at longer delay settings, producing lo-fi chirps and smeared repeat artefacts that add dynamic movement and atmosphere. At short delays, it delivers lively, bouncing repeats perfect for subtle double-tracking or thickening your tone. When pushed harder, it ventures into psychedelic and experimental delay territories with unpredictable, evolving textures.

The F BACK knob lets you control the intensity of repeats, from a single echo to immersive self-oscillation. For exact feedback control, use the internal trimpot to set the onset of looping, tailoring the pedal’s behaviour to your creative preferences. Plus, the delay output can be set louder than the dry signal, ensuring your echoes cut through dense mixes with clarity and presence.

Whether used subtly or pushed to extremes, the Death By Audio Micro Dream adds unmistakable character and dimension to your sound—perfect for players seeking a bold, expressive delay effect brimming with personality.
