The Crypta is a fantastic, budget-friendly analog delay module for anyone wanting that classic, slightly gritty PT2399 sound without a ton of bells and whistles. It’s perfect for adding warmth and texture to synths or drums, and the Poubelle mode is a real treat for adding character. It's a great starting point for those new to modular delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Poubelle introduces bit-reduction and filtering, resulting in a more lo-fi, degraded delay character with a noticeable grit and subtle aliasing.
It's suitable for both, though the attenuator allows you to fine-tune the CV’s influence on the delay time, making it useful for subtle modulation or more pronounced rhythmic patterns.
While the PT2399 chip is a classic, it’s not a pristine signal path; you'll get a warmer, more characterful sound than a modern, clinical delay, but it might not have the same headroom or low-noise performance.
