Vintage carlsbro mantis BBD Analagog delay 1970's with original footswitch

The Carlsbro Mantis analog delay is a processor from the 1970s. Inspired and informed by the multi-head disc delays like the Watkins Copicat and Binson Echorec, the Mantis uses a Philips bucket brigade to achieve a similar effect. It has 4 buttons which represent delay times ranging from short to long. Its "swell" section has another 4 buttons to determine number of repeats, its "swell" fader helps control (or lose control) of echo feedback. Additionally, the Mantis has a "Rotafaze" section to dial in some modulation, which, when used subtly, simulated the flutter and wow of old tape delays. Input and output faders control volume on the in- and outputs and it also has a 100% wet mix output.
