Comeback Kid has an oversize GUI with large Time and Feedback control knobs and a digital readout. The plug-in automatically syncs to your session tempo and there are four preset timing sub-division choices: Straight, Dotted, Triplet, and Free (running). The Time knob sets the delay times as fast as 64th notes or up to 2500ms (2.5-seconds) in Free mode. Feedback controls how many repeats and you can switch on Ping-Pong repeats where the delay signal bounces back and forth, left and right.

The Comeback Kid works best as an insert on a stereo track rather than a send/receive effect because of the other onboard effects useful to build the whole sound, vibe, and tonality of an instrument or vocal.

I liked using it on an ordinary sustaining pad track in a dance mix track. I started with a 1/4-note delay with no Feedback but Ping-Pong on. I liked using the Shaper section to completely "round off" the front of the sound and lengthen and blur the sustain portion. The Stereo section in Comeback has a real-time pitch changer and I used it to further disguise the pad with this effect.

I saved that setup as a preset and put it on a melody backing vocal track in the same song and started to modify it greatly. I went with no Shaper and no Stereo pitching and changed the delay time to 1/16th notes and no feedback. I was looking for tone here so I went over to the Flavor section to dial in some Swirl--an analog phaser and also some Sauce--a cheesy-sounding reverb.

Finally, if you double-click the Comeback Kid logo, the delay section is bypassed leaving the Shaper, Stereo section's pitch changer/widener, and Flavor sections totally available! Awesome!

The Comeback Kid sells for $49 MSRP Download and runs on Mac & PC, VST, VST3, AU and AAX, 64-bit and 32-bit compatible DAWS. This is an awesome one stop effects plug-in you'll use all the time!
