The Magrane'Echo Machine is an analog delay pedal from GOKKO, sold under the model number GK-63. The maker describes it as providing "a warm, rich echo with a strong sense of infinite space, making it an inspiring tool for creating ambient soundscapes," and lists it as a vintage-style true bypass analog delay1. It belongs to the broader family of Delay Pedals.
Controls
The pedal keeps its front panel simple: dedicated knobs for delay time and the number of repeats, a mix knob to balance the echo against your dry signal, and a filter switch that shapes the repeats1.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Time | Sets the delay time1 |
| Repeat | Sets the number of repeats1 |
| Mix | Balances the echo effect against the dry signal1 |
| Filter switch | Adjusts the frequency response of the wet signal1 |
The filter switch is the pedal's distinguishing control. GOKKO calls it "a unique filter switch that allows you to adjust the frequency response of the wet signal"1, and Delicious Audio's Paolo De Gregorio, announcing the pedal in August 2024, described it as "a filter with dark and bright settings"2. In practice that means choosing between darker, vintage-flavored repeats and brighter, more open ones without touching your dry tone.
"features a filter with dark and bright settings"
Delicious Audio's announcement describes the Magrane' as a simple echo pedal recreating vintage tape echo character2.
Power and connections
The Magrane'Echo Machine runs on a DC 9V power adapter with center-minus polarity and draws 18 mA1. No battery option is mentioned on the maker's product page, so plan on adapter or pedalboard power. The 18 mA draw is modest by delay pedal standards and fits within a single output of most multi-output power supplies.
Power is by DC 9V adapter, center minus, only. The maker's page lists no battery option1.
Connections are a 1/4" mono input jack with 1M ohm impedance and a 1/4" mono output jack with 100 ohm impedance1.
Build and size
The pedal is housed in a metal chassis that GOKKO describes as durable and portable, fitting easily on any pedalboard. It measures 110mm long by 60mm wide by 30mm high and weighs 270g, so it takes up little room next to other pedals1.
Questions
Does the GOKKO Magrane'Echo Machine take a battery?
