Effects

Delay

Delay Effects create echoes by repeating a delayed version of the signal that feeds them. The FEEDBACK knob on Delay control panels determine how many repeats you'll hear. TIME determines how late the 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.

The main feature of the Echoplex design is a special cartridge of
