What
truly sets Echolution apart are the Multi-Tap toggle switches which
introduce any combination of five additional echoes at musical fractions
of the master delay time. The values of these fractions are based
on quarter notes and triplets. Engaging the PHI switch realigns all
of these fractions to values based on the Golden Ratio. The Golden
Ratio creates a spiral rhythm that is found throughout the universe.
It is observed in the shapes of galaxies, sea shells, DNA, the Egyptian
Pyramids as well as in the work of many great musicians.
Chorus (pitch) and Tremolo (amplitude) modulation of the delay
signal are controlled by a single analog LFO. Independent depth
controls allow both types of modulation to be blended for rotary
speaker sounds and other warped effects. An Expression pedal input
for changing the delay time gives the musician even further stage
friendly control over the Echolution’s time and pitch bending
capabilities.
Other thoughtful features include a stereo blend control that mixes
the pure analog input signal with the echo signal, a Trails switch
that allows echoes to fade gradually after the effect is bypassed
and a input Drive control, which can push the echoes into massive
saturation. True stereo outputs provide breathtaking 3D sound when
used with two amps or direct into a mixer.
The Echolution contains a Loop feature that freezes the content
of the delay line and repeats the captured audio. When the loop
function is engaged, all of the modulation and multi-tap functions
remain active, allowing you to warp and manipulate the sample beyond
all recognition and then back again to its original sonic form.
The Echolution can also operate its delay line in Reverse for backward
sounds that are truly psychedelic. Reverse and Loop Functions are
both switchable via a two button TRS remote switch.
A variable Hi-Cut filter gives continuous control of the LPF cutoff
frequency. Runaway Self-Oscillation can be achieved by cranking
up the Feedback control. Once a sample is looped, it can be manipulated
and warped by changing the delay time and multi tap settings.
Echolution is a musical instrument
that will expand your mind and your music.
