The analogue tape-style echo is expertly tuned for live use, producing warm, dusky repeats that complement your voice without drowning it. The Mix control ensures your vocals remain intelligible, while the Feedback (F Back) knob allows you to explore everything from subtle slapback doubles to infinite, swirling echoes. Delay times are adjustable from 30 milliseconds to 620 milliseconds, providing versatile soundscape options for any style.

The Echo Master is designed for seamless live performance. Plug in your microphone, connect to the PA, and use the effects loop to add other pedals effortlessly. Consistent gain staging and easy-to-recall settings make it dependable night after night for touring artists and performers.
The optional mic clip backplate offers on-the-fly control, allowing you to tweak delay time, mix, and feedback while performing, effectively remixing your vocals live to suit any moment.
