Ok im reading other people's replies and I think I have gotten things confused? Do you want the repeats slow down like you turn the time down and you get the tape stop effect? I thought at first you meant a delay that played back at a different speed with out modulating to it which is a kinda weird effect that I have looked for so im just projecting

Technically speaking any delay with modulation lets you change the speed of the repeats with its internal LFO.

But it seems like OP wants a delay where the repeats are always at half speed, for example. Not a delay where the pitch is decreasing with each repeat (like the rainbow machine or downward spiral).

Thermae is pricy, but probably the best for this.

what about the retroactive pedals diving bell?

isnt the thermae more like a modulated delay with intervals on the depth?

Do you want the repeats to continually get longer between and play back the entire signal just slower each time? Or equally spaced repeats with slower clips?
Check out the Alexander Syntax Error. It does slow-down stuff with a delay built into that patch.

I guess I should specify, since I realise my original post was confused:

I'm interested in two things:
1. A delayed signal that's slowed down, emulating a tape being played at half speed (preferably the exact speed is configurable though). I.e. the source signal is slowed down and then the slowed down signal is repeatedly delayed.
2. Similarly, not specifying the speed of the signal to be delayed, but specifying an incrementing or decrementing speed for the delayed repeats based on the preceding repeat, such that if I say e.g. 90%, the first delay repeat is at 90% speed of the source signal, then the second is 90% of the first delay such that .9×.9=81% of the source signal, then the next is 72%, etc. for every repeat.

An added bonus, which would be merely *interesting* to me, it isn't necessary at all, would be if a device capable of 1 and/or 2 could do pitch shifting, in a manner analogous to 1 or 2—i.e. either octave shift all repeats n%, or octave shift each repeat by n% based on the preceding repeat.

Run a loop with a Whammy or other pitchshifter after a delay, which is set to 100% wet. Change the pitch of the repeats with the Whammy/detuner/pitchshifter.

Run a Whammy/pitchshifter in the delay loop of a delay pedal that has such a feature.

Drolo stuff does it.

I did a modified version of Moodys Mushroom delay that had a selectable optical led to change the delay time by obscuring the led. Very trippy and quite unpredictable depending on ambient lighting. You can also modify any standard delay with a expression input hooked up to the time pot (TIME POT INDEED) to adjust the delay time in real time.

doesn't the rubberneck do that? I know my 1776 from Laowiz does it.

If you make more of these I would be interested in one!

1776 circuit definitely does, if I remember correctly.
