Tru-Fi's Aqua Analog Echo 600 sold out its first 100 units at Joe's Pedals, with preorders still open on the Tru-Fi Webstore, Guitar Pedal X reported on September 19, 2025. Tru-Fi's product page states "Over 100 sold which is CRAZY !!!"12
The pedal is a mono analog bucket-brigade delay based on the Boss DM-2 and Way Huge Aqua Puss, with twice the delay time at 600ms, according to Tru-Fi12. It uses two vintage MN3005 chips, which Tru-Fi says cost $50 each; Guitar Pedal X notes each chip provides 300ms of delay time12. Tru-Fi writes that it has held the chips for almost 25 years, having built a 300ms version in 20021.
Controls are Time (to 600ms), Mod 1, Mod 2, Mix, Wow, Feedback and Flutter, per Guitar Pedal X, which reports that the two mods are modulation depth and modulation pitch, and that the Wow and Flutter mini controls add degradation and pitch oscillation2. Tru-Fi describes the modulation as adding chorusing like a tape delay1.
The price is $2992. Guitar Pedal X reports that Tru-Fi is still looking for more vintage MN3005 chips2.
"This is not a modern digital pristine quiet delay with 1/16 notes; it is very old school with fat, warm repeats and some artifacts."
