Echo Mini
Vintage style delay small and simple
Vintage-style delay with a lush, analog, tape-like sound
The Skreddy™ Echo Mini takes my Echo circuit and compresses the parts layout, deleting the modulation section, squeezing it into a standard small enclosure.
- No pitch shifting, just the straight delay, very analog in its character, warm and squishy
- The omission of the modulation also opens up the shorter time settings, which were formerly difficult to dial in because of the pitch shifting which got stronger at shorter delay times
- Uses buffered bypass in order to facilitate trails (i.e.; the delays naturally decay after switching it off). This "buffer" is actually the Echo's dry circuit and is a better quality signal than true bypass switching--and I'm an old-school true-bypass enthusiast.
The repeats degrade very gradually into a musical, harmonic soup if you turn them up high enough. Self oscillation is possible (though not in a touchy or unpredictable way) without the bothersome runaway volume some old analog delays have.
Ultra-High Sample-Rate (Delta-Sigma) Digital Delay with Analog Filtering and Limiting
Transparent, Analog "Dry" Path with Tons of Headroom
Legendary delay in a small, essential package
Great classic tape delay tones (~32ms -- ~550ms)
Sounds equally great clean or with overdrive, distortion, or fuzz in front
Huge range, including slap-back, atmospheric, cathedral/stadium, self-accompanying rhythms, expansive delays, self-oscillation, etc.
SIZE: 4 1/2" long x 2 1/2" wide x 1 3/4" tall
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS: (note: a power supply is NOT INCLUDED)
DC power supply, industry standard 5.5mm barrel x 2.1mm center coax, negative center polarity
Voltage: 9v will work fine. You can use up to 18v if you desire even more headroom.
Amperage: current draw is only about 26mA.
Does not use a battery
