Crypta is a new 1U delay module (Intellijel format) from Ritual Electronics, built around the PT2399 chip and pushed to its limits in true Ritual style. From crisp, resonator-like delays (20ms minimum) to glitchy, extreme delays up to 4 seconds, Crypta might be the longest delay you can get from a commercially available PT-based module.
The delay time is fully CV controllable, with a dedicated attenuator on the input. Special care was taken during design to make Crypta shine in chorus, flanger, and tremolo-like pitch bending when controlled by an LFO.
The feedback control behaves smoothly throughout most of the range, with self-oscillation kicking in beyond 90% of the knob’s travel. The module also features a unique “Poubelle” switch (French for “trash can”), which routes the signal through circuit-bent paths, transforming the delay into a fuzzed-out, harsh noise machine.
