The Pink Pit - Douche Edition is a compact echo/reverb pedal from GUPtech, a small builder in Saguenay, Québec, Canada, which states that all of its pedals are made by the company there1. GUPtech describes its sound as a "Warm, dark echo but not muddy", and positions it for "spatial ambience and echo type reverb"1. The same description appears on the page for the standard Pink Pit, which GUPtech's Barton Turner also describes as producing "Slap back echo with spring reverb tone (surf style)"2.
The Douche Edition is listed as sold out on GUPtech's product page as of 26 October 20261. The standard Pink Pit shares the same sound description, controls and power figures2.
What it does to your sound
GUPtech describes the Pink Pit as a warm, dark echo that stays clear of mud, aimed at spatial ambience and echo-type reverb2. The maker also points to uses beyond straightforward echo: "you can also use it to create dark moods, to imitate an old reverb when you set the repetitions very short, or just as a" regular delay1. On the standard Pink Pit page, Barton Turner frames it the same way, as a delay/echo reverb pedal for ambience and echo-type reverb sounds2. For players comparing it with dedicated reverb pedals or delay pedals, it sits between the two: an echo circuit that can pass for an old reverb at short repetition settings.
The controls: Echo, Depth and Light
The pedal keeps things to three knobs1:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Echo | Time, from 0 to 550 ms1 |
| Depth | Feedback1 |
| Light | Echo tone; enters oscillation stage when pushed to the max1 |
The Echo knob sets the delay time across a 0 to 550 ms range1. Depth controls feedback, meaning how many repetitions you hear1. Light shapes the echo tone, and GUPtech notes that pushing it to the maximum takes the pedal into an oscillation stage, where the repeats run away into self-oscillation1. The standard Pink Pit carries the same three controls with the same functions2.
Power and practical details
The pedal draws 22mA and takes a DC output with negative center, compatible with a standard 9V adaptor1. That current draw is modest by pedalboard standards, but it does mean the pedal needs a mains adaptor or power supply output rather than running without power. It is true bypass, so it drops out of the signal chain when switched off1. The enclosure is a powder coated die cast 1590A aluminum box measuring 3.65 in x 1.52 in x 1.22 in (93 mm x 39 mm x 31 mm), a compact footprint that fits easily on a crowded board1.
Questions
How much current does the GUPtech Pink Pit draw?
GUPtech lists power consumption at 22mA for both the Pink Pit and the Douche Edition. It runs from a standard 9V adaptor with a DC output and negative center connector, so it fits a normal pedalboard power supply.
Is the GUPtech Pink Pit true bypass?
Yes. GUPtech describes the Pink Pit - Douche Edition as having a true bypass design, so the pedal is removed from the signal path when it is switched off.
Can the Pink Pit be used as a normal delay?
Yes. GUPtech says that besides spatial ambience and echo-type reverb, you can use it to create dark moods, to imitate an old reverb when you set the repetitions very short, or just as a regular delay.
What is the longest delay time on the Pink Pit?
The Echo control covers delay times from 0 to 550 ms, according to GUPtech's product page.
Is the Douche Edition still available?
No. As of 26 October 2026, GUPtech's product page for the Pink Pit - Douche Edition shows it as sold out.
Where is GUPtech based?
GUPtech builds its pedals in Saguenay, Québec, Canada. The maker states that all of its pedals are made by the company there.
