Description

Lighthouse is a digital delay with an analog taste that provides up to 700ms delay time. We've carefully voiced it to emulate vintage tape echo units and included an EP-3 style preamp on the switch. In addition, Lighthouse has a modulation section with rich controls over LFO shaping.

Controls

Time - delay time from ~40ms to 700ms.
Feedback - the signal passed back to the delay line, going from slap-back to self-oscillation.
Mix - controls the balance between wet and dry signals.
Depth - controls modulation depth.
Rate - modulation speed.
Shape - LFO symmetry control.
Wave - changes LFO from triangular to sine.
Preamp toggle - enables EP-3 preamp that adds a bit of sparkle and high-frequencies.
LED brightness trimmer - placed on the PCB trimmer allows you to adjust the status LED brightness.

About the name

The "Lighthouse" is a delay pedal designed to emulate the warm, saturated, and slightly imperfect repeats of a classic tape echo. The name holds a special significance, originating from "Маяк" (Mayak). This well-known Ukrainian brand manufactures cassette decks and translates directly to "Lighthouse" in English. This connection is deeply personal, as our founder, Vitalii, grew up with his father owning several of these iconic Mayak decks, making the pedal's name a tribute to both a piece of Ukrainian technical history and cherished childhood memories.
