BOSS SDE-3 Digital Delay

A rack unit launched in 1983, the Roland SDE3000 was one of the the first delays to feature dual delays and a modulation section.

MXR Joshua Ambient Echo

The MXR Joshua Ambient Echo bears that name for a particular reason: it aims to offer, in a compact case, the legendary sound of U2's The Edge as heard in The Joshua Tree, a 1987 album that featured a signature guitar sound drenched in a rhythmic yet ambient delay.

Line 6 POD Express

Those who've been around "long enough" will have fond memories of the day in 1998 when they saw, and then heard the very first Line 6 Pod. It was the first mass-produced device to deliver, in a rather small package and rather faithfully, the tones of a myriad of different…Click on the title for more

Keeley Eccos Stereo Delay/Looper

We first saw a prototype of the Keeley Eccos Delay-Looper at Winter NAMM 2019. The pedal took a while to be finalized for shipping, probably because of the complex digital algorythms that comprise the core of the circuit. The company has finally unveiled the first two official videos of it,…Click on the title for more

Endorphines Ghost Multi-Dimensional FX

To further remind us that pedals are a modular format just like Eurorack, the Endorphines Ghost is a rare example of a synth company venturing into the stompbox format (there are plenty of reversed cases including EQD, Strymon, and Empress Effects, just to mention a few). While the original Ghost…Click on the title for more

Source Audio Nemesis Delay ADT

At NAMM 2015, Massachusetts based pedal manufacturer Source Audio introduced an unprecedented number of new products, and a rather surprising change of direction in the cosmetics department: known for their Soundblox series, which were rather "sci-fi" looking pedals, the Source Audio decided it was time to switch to a more…Click on the title for more

Flamma is a new Chinese builder of affordable stompboxes (we blogged about their FS02 Stereo Reverb a few weeks ago). The FS22 Ekoverb is their multi-mode delay/reverb pedal. In this stompbox, the two effect run in parallel, i.e., they don't feed each other but work as separate effects. Through the…Click on the title for more
