More Than Just a Delay – Meet Deelay
Hey Plugheads,
You all know how much I love finding plugins that push creative boundaries while keeping things simple and intuitive. Well, I just came across Deelay, a delay plugin developed in collaboration with Integraudio, and trust me, this one is special. Whether you’re looking for a clean delay, lush reverbs, gritty distortion, or wild modulation, Deelay delivers – and it’s completely free.
Why Deelay Stands Out
At first glance, Deelay has a minimalistic interface, but don’t let that fool you. Under the hood, it packs an insane amount of features that make it more than just a regular delay:
🔹 Diffusion – Transform your delay into rich reverbs, from small chambers to massive cinematic swells. Perfect for ambient and experimental sound design.
🔹 Distortion – Add character to your echoes with everything from subtle saturation to full-on waveshaping madness. Ideal for making delays stand out in a mix.
🔹 Modulation – Keep things dynamic with modulation that adds movement and depth to your sound.
🔹 Sync & Time Modes – Control the delay timing with precision using BPM sync or free mode for more experimental textures.
The Free Version vs. Deelay Platinum
Deelay is already a powerhouse in its free version, but if you want to take things even further, check out Deelay Platinum Edition. It unlocks additional features, giving you even more flexibility and creative control.
My Thoughts After Testing
I threw Deelay on drums, vocals, synths – you name it – and it delivered every time. The Diffusion mode is a game-changer for adding space without clutter, and the distortion section makes delays cut through even the busiest mixes. For a free plugin, this is a no-brainer.
If you’re serious about sound design and want a delay that goes beyond the ordinary, download Deelay now and explore the possibilities. And if you want the ultimate version, go for Deelay Platinum – totally worth it!

Stay creative,
