Pigtronix Echolution 3 Stereo Multi-Tap Delay Guitar Pedal

Echolution 3 is a multi-tap stereo modulation delay offering a myriad of sound design options including reverse, jump, pong, modulation tempo sync, variable low pass filter, flexible signal routing, and comprehensive MIDI control. Delay times ranging from 100ms to 5 seconds can be dialed in using the Time knob or via Tap Tempo using the left footswitch. A second delay tap can be set to the same length or a fraction of the main delay time to create rhythmic echoes. The 3/4 fraction creates a dotted eighth note delay, while the Golden fraction uses the sacred geometry of the Golden Ratio (.382) as the multiplier for the second tap. The multi-tap settings can be even further enhanced by the stereo ping pong effect, which causes the different delay taps to switch sides on each repeat. Store up to 4 presets, unlock hidden features with the Universal Remote footswitch, and design yet unheard delay lines. Runs on standard 9VDC.

Knob-By-Knob

The time knob sets the length of the delay line. Overrides tap tempo and vice versa. Select sub-divisions with the small push button. Can activate any two sub-divisions at once. The mix knob sets the volume level of the delay signal. The repeats knob sets the amount of regeneration in the delay line. Mod knob select and set the modulation Speed, Depth, and Tone. Hold push button to sync Speed to tap tempo. Preset Select push to toggle through presets, press and hold to select. To save a preset after making changes, press and hold. Presets can be toggled and selected using only footswitches (see manual). Special FX makes the delay line go backward. Jump makes the delay line jump up one octave. Pong (activated with a push and hold) causes echoes to alternate between the left and right channels, meant to be used in stereo.

How To Disappear Completely

Marvin has come across Echolutions in the Pigtronix universe before but never quite like this. Echolution 3 is a supermassive black hole leading to a vivid dimension stuffed with color, light, and the unexplainable, causing the voyager to lose his or herself more deeply than they knew was possible. In this dimension, the imagination tends to expand: familiar figures appear in cloud formations, meteorites can be sat on like bean bag chairs, and ropes of light can be swung on like vines.
