Death By Audio Echo Master Lo-Fi Vocal Delay/Echo Effects Pedal

The Death By Audio Echo Master is a purpose built vocal delay pedal that delivers lo fi, analogue tape style echo with total control and unmistakable character. Designed specifically for vocals, it combines a richly voiced delay circuit with a high quality transformer balanced microphone preamp, allowing you to shape your sound before it ever reaches the PA or recording interface.

Main Features

• Analogue tape style delay designed specifically for vocals
• Transformer balanced microphone preamp using matched Bourns transformers
• Lush, lo fi echo with controlled feedback response for live use
• Calibrated mix control to maintain vocal clarity
• Delay time adjustable from 30 ms to 620 ms
• Feedback control ranging from single repeat to infinite feedback
• Transformer balanced mic input and output
• High quality Neutrik XLR connectors
• Impedance matching effects loop for adding pedals to your vocal chain
• Optional mic clip backplate for easy access to controls during performance

At the front end, matched Bourns transformers provide a vibrant, full bodied mic preamp that enhances clarity while helping to minimise feedback. This means your vocal tone sounds bigger, clearer, and more expressive straight away, giving you professional results on stage without relying entirely on the sound engineer.

The analogue tape style echo is carefully tuned for live performance, producing lush, dusky repeats that sit perfectly behind your voice without overwhelming it. The Mix control is calibrated to preserve intelligibility, allowing you to blend from completely dry to a balanced 50 50 wet and dry mix. The F Back control lets you dial in anything from a single slapback echo to infinite, raging feedback, while the Time knob sets delay times between 30 ms and 620 ms for everything from tight doubling to spacious ambience.

Built for the Stage

Fast changeovers and limited soundchecks are no problem with the Echo Master. Simply plug your microphone into the input, connect the output to the PA, patch any additional pedals into the effects loop, and you are ready to perform. With consistent gain staging and repeatable echo settings, you can achieve reliable, high quality vocal effects night after night.

The optional mic clip backplate places the controls within reach, allowing you to adjust delay time, mix, and feedback as you sing, effectively remixing vocals live on stage.

A Studio Secret Weapon

In the studio, the Echo Master becomes a powerful creative tool. Use it on vocals, acoustic instruments, percussion, or during reamping and mixing to introduce characterful analogue style echoes and controlled feedback textures. It excels at committing bold, expressive sounds directly to recordings, making it ideal for producers and engineers looking for something beyond clean digital delay.
