Two Medicine - Delay Made Simple
Delay Made Simple
Today we revisit the world of delay with Two Medicine. Implementing the intuitive two-knob configuration featured in our Ghost Ridge and Pretty Bird Woman, we’ve applied a less-is-more concept to delay.
In this blog we dive into Two Medicine: what it is, how it sounds, and the story behind the artwork.
What is Two Medicine?
Two Medicine is a preset-capable delay designed with an intuitive layout. The streamlined interface includes time, feedback, mix, and four programmable presets for immediate access to your favorite delay settings. Two Medicine’s uniquely filtered delay line delivers a warm and lush experience, ranging from slap-back echoes to walls of oscillation.
Features:
A uniquely filtered delay providing up to 1000ms of delay.
Optional delay trails for a natural decay in delay when switching the effect off.
Intuitive interface with time, feedback, and mix controls for total customization of delay.
Four user presets for fast access to delay settings.
Smart switching system that provides standard on/off latching and momentary operation.
Top-mounted instrument and power jacks to save pedal board space.
Buffered-bypass design to optimize signal integrity with any instrument cable length.
How does it sound?
Okay, we’ve shared a lot of the technical stuff but what does it sound like?
About the Artwork
For all NativeAudio pedals, the artwork and story are as important as the sound itself. When we decided to use the name, Two Medicine, I was amazed at how hard it was to find the Blackfeet story for this location.
A quick Google search on Two Medicine provides the latest Glacier National Park tourist information, lacking the historic connection of this place to the Blackfeet Nation.
Two Medicine is one of the few locations in Glacier National Park that still holds its original Blackfeet name. Following the establishment of Glacier National Park, many Blackfeet landmarks were renamed, diminishing the history of our people.
As you read the story of Two Medicine, I hope that you see this location different after today. Two Medicine has always been and will be a special place to the Blackfeet Nation.
Two Medicine pays tribute to my Blackfeet (Amsskaapi Piikuni) heritage and is a story of Two Medicine Lake, placed within the Backbone of the World, more widely known as Glacier National Park.
Blackfeet Tradition tells the story of a famine that inhabited the land. The nation held ceremonies at two medicine lodges, placed along the shore of the respected lake.
Prayers revealed that the great Wind Spirit had created this famine and the Blackfeet needed to send their wisest men to appease Wind Spirit. Wind Spirit lived at the summit of Chief Mountain. Upon arrival, the wise immediately fled out of fear.
The ceremonies continued, revealing that the Blackfeet were now to send their bravest warriors up the mountain. Wind Spirit was pleased with the courage of these warriors and brought rain back to the land.
After that day, happiness and prosperity dwelt within the land of the Blackfeet Nation. The artwork for Two Medicine features Two Medicine Lake located in Glacier National Park, Montana.
