The EchoHead is an analog delay pedal from Raygun FX that combines echo with modulation, listed by RockBoard's PedalPedia as "DELAY MODULATION"1. It sits in the delay family, but instead of the clean, exact repeats of a digital delay, it is built around a tape-style character: the maker describes it as a pedal where "the repeats aren't perfect like Digital Delays. Each repeat degrades in quality, which blur into each other"1. A Modulation/Warp mode adds movement to those echoes, so the pitch of the repeats flutters the way it would on a worn tape machine1.
Controls
The pedal's modulation section is shaped with three knobs. As RockBoard's PedalPedia puts it, "Adjust the RATE, DEPTH and FEEDBACK to get some cool Modulated sounds!"1.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| RATE | Adjusts the speed of the modulated sounds in the Chorus/Flutter effect1 |
| DEPTH | Adjusts the depth of the modulated sounds in the Chorus/Flutter effect1 |
| FEEDBACK | Adjusts the feedback of the modulated sounds in the Chorus/Flutter effect1 |
The Modulation/Warp mode
Alongside the standard delay behavior, the EchoHead has a Modulation/Warp mode. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the effect this way: "Combined with the Modulation/Warp mode, you can make the pitch of the repeats flutter, just like how tape would"1. In practice, that means the echoes do not just lose clarity as they repeat, they also drift in pitch, which is the quality players usually associate with old tape echo units. The same control set also covers chorus-style movement, which is why the maker labels the effect Chorus/Flutter1.
