The Full Mojo Electronics Echo Trip Delay is a compact delay pedal made in Peru, with three knobs, two switches and a hand-painted enclosure. It is a digital delay with a digital chip at its heart, but its repeats are described as warm and natural, much like a classic analog delay. Pedal of the Day reviewed it in November 20221.
Controls and toggles
The pedal keeps its control layout simple, with two toggles doing the work that other pedals give to extra knobs or menus.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mix knob | Blends the delayed signal with your dry sound1 |
| Delay knob | Sets the delay time within the 400ms range1 |
| Feedback knob | Sets how many repeats follow each other1 |
| Left toggle | Selects Buffered or True Bypass switching1 |
| Right toggle | Clips the repeats, adding a little color and distortion when activated1 |
Pedal of the Day summed up the knobs this way: "The Mix, Delay and Feedback knobs are what you'd expect, but there's more here."1
The left toggle is worth a moment on any pedalboard. Buffered switching keeps a buffer in the circuit when the pedal is off, which can help drive long cable runs, while true bypass takes the circuit out of the chain completely. Having the choice on a toggle means you can set it once to suit the rest of your board1.
The right toggle is the pedal's character control. As the review puts it: "the right hand toggle clips the repeats, adding a little color and distortion when activated."1
Sound and delay range
The Echo Trip offers a 400ms range of delay time, which Pedal of the Day found "perfect for rockabilly sounds, solo voicings and even a wide, atmospheric presence"1. Although the circuit is digital, the reviewer described its repeats as warm and natural, much like a classic analog delay1.
Build and origin
The pedal comes from Full Mojo Electronics in Peru. Each box is painted by hand, and the maker describes the finishing process that every pedal goes through before it ships1.

Questions
Is the Full Mojo Echo Trip Delay true bypass?
It can be. The left toggle selects between Buffered and True Bypass switching, so you can set the pedal to suit the rest of your board. A buffer can help preserve your signal through long cable runs, while true bypass removes the pedal's circuitry from the chain entirely when it is off.
How long is the delay time on the Echo Trip?
The Echo Trip Delay offers a 400ms range of delay time. Pedal of the Day notes that this range suits rockabilly sounds, solo voicings and even a wide, atmospheric presence.
Where is the Full Mojo Echo Trip Delay made?
The Echo Trip Delay is made in Peru. Each box is painted by hand, and each pedal is inspected, tested and packed before shipping.
What does the right toggle do on the Echo Trip Delay?
The right-hand toggle clips the repeats, adding a little color and distortion when activated. It is a way to give the echo trails some grit without touching an overdrive pedal.
Is the Echo Trip Delay analog or digital?
It is a digital delay with a digital chip at its heart, but Pedal of the Day describes its repeats as warm and natural, much like a classic analog delay.
