echo will be versus the input signal, and allows Tap Tempo. A short delay time and low feedback

setting will give you a classic “slap back” delay. Longer delay times give you a distinctly separate echo,

and higher feedback settings increase the number of echoes. There’s always a MIX control, and each

of the Models has a few other controls as well....

Analog Delay w/Modulation

The Analog Delay w/ Modulation model is based on* the

Electro-Harmonix

®

Deluxe Memory Man which is a pedal

that uses the “bucket brigade” electronics of other analog

echoes, and adds a chorus circuit to boot. This adjustable

chorus is applied to the echoes only, leaving the direct sound

unaffected. The Memory Man, with its warm, distorted tone

and swimming echoes, became an important tool for many

guitarists, and was an essential part of the guitar sounds for

the first U2 album. Part of the Deluxe in Deluxe Memory Man

was the increased delay time of 500 milliseconds. Analog w/

Mod emulates that classic Memory Man tone with the added

advantage of 2 seconds of delay time. The mod speed and depth controls set up the chorus on the

delays.

Tube Echo

The classic 1963 Maestro

®

EP-1 was the first of a series of “Echoplex

®

designs distributed by the company, and made by Harris-Teller in Chicago.

As touted in a Maestro advertisement, the Echoplex’s “...special effects

range all the way from a controlled high speed reverberation to a full,

throbbing echo”! The main feature of the Echoplex design is a special

cartridge of looped 1/4-inch audio tape that wraps past separate record

and playback heads. The position of the playback head can be moved to

adjust the delay time from 60 to 650 milliseconds. Tube Echo is based on*

the classic Echoplex tone with the extra advantage of up to 2 seconds of

delay time. DRIVE lets you dial up some tube warmth like the original

and FLUTTER (short for wow and flutter) adds that unique sound of a

slipping, dirty tape capstan!
