ELECTRO HARMONIX Slap Back Echo

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Slap-Back Echo Analog Delay Reissue

Electro-Harmonix Slap-Back Echo is a reborn classic, offering the authentic warmth and simplicity of a "Bucket Brigade" (BBD) circuit. This pedal specializes precisely in short, rhythmic echo reflections that add depth and "punch" to the instrument without overwhelming the main melody. It's an ideal tool for achieving that quick, "bathroom reflections" sound that is an integral part of "Sun Records" style recordings.

Despite its miniature size, the pedal hides a powerful Gain function that can boost the signal level by up to +20dB. This means that this little one can be used not only as an echo but also as a solo "booster," emphasizing your guitar's sound during solo parts. The three-position Time switch allows you to instantly select one of three fixed delay times (45ms, 65ms, or 100ms), while the Blend knob allows you to precisely mix the effect with the dry signal – from subtle doubling to full echo.
