The Skreddy Echo Infinity is a delay pedal from Skreddy Pedals that aims for a tape-delay character from a modern circuit. The maker describes it as producing "lush, tape-like, saturated delays with adjustable modulation and an infinite-repeats footswitch"1. It is a mono pedal, sold as a preorder at a list price of $338, discounted to $304.20 as of the maker's product page dated 25 October 20262.
A tape-style delay with a digital core
The Echo Infinity is not an analog delay in the bucket-brigade sense. Skreddy's Marc describes the engine as an "Ultra-High Sample-Rate (Delta-Sigma) Digital Delay with Analog Filtering"1, with a transparent analog dry path alongside it. The design goal is the character of tape: saturated, modulated repeats rather than clean digital echoes. The maker says the pedal takes his classic Echo circuit and incorporates "all the most popular mods that my customers have" requested1.
Compared with the original Echo, the Infinity's enclosure height has been reduced by 1 inch, and the effects loop and trimpots have been eliminated1. Skreddy also lists an Echo Mini among its delay offerings, and the Infinity sits in that family as the fully modded version of the circuit1. For other approaches to the effect type, see Delay Pedals.
Controls
The pedal splits its controls into a main delay section and a modulation section branded Warble3.
| Section | Controls |
|---|---|
| Main | Repeats, Mix, Time |
| Warble (modulation) | Intensity, Oscillation, Rate, Active footswitch, Hold footswitch |
The Warble section has its own footswitches for activating the modulation and for hold functions, alongside the main delay controls3.
Bypass, mix mod and power
Two design choices are worth knowing before mounting the Echo Infinity on a board. First, it uses active bypass rather than true bypass: the maker notes that "this also means that the Echo Infinity features active bypass instead of true bypass"1. Second, the mix mod keeps the dry signal at unity gain throughout the sweep of the mix knob, so the unaffected tone does not shift level as the mix control is turned1.
Power comes from a DC supply with a standard 5.5mm barrel by 2.1mm center coax connector and negative center polarity, which the maker calls the industry standard1. Actual current draw is about 26mA, but Skreddy recommends a minimum 100mA supply1.
The Echo Infinity is a mono pedal. Guitar Pedal X's Stefan Karlsson wrote in December 2024 that "this is however simply a mono delay, so alas not suitable for my own rig!"3. Players with stereo rigs should plan accordingly.
What reviewers said
In Guitar Pedal X's roundup of the year's time-based effects, Stefan Karlsson was strongly positive about the sound, calling it "One of the best sounding modulated delay pedals out there - the modulation here really sounds superb"3. His review dates from 20 December 2024, before the current preorder listing.

Questions
Is the Skreddy Echo Infinity true bypass?
No. Skreddy Pedals states that the Echo Infinity uses active bypass instead of true bypass. The pedal also has a transparent analog dry path, so the dry signal passes through analog circuitry even though the delay engine itself is digital. Players who specifically want true bypass switching should be aware of this before putting the Echo Infinity on a board.
Is the Skreddy Echo Infinity mono or stereo?
The Echo Infinity is a mono delay. Guitar Pedal X reviewer Stefan Karlsson noted in his 2024 review that it is simply a mono delay, which he said made it unsuitable for his own stereo rig. Players running stereo setups will need to plan around that.
Is the Skreddy Echo Infinity analog or digital?
It is a hybrid. Skreddy Pedals describes the delay engine as an ultra-high sample-rate Delta-Sigma digital delay with analog filtering and limiting, paired with a transparent analog dry path. The design intent is a digital core that behaves like a tape delay rather than a clean digital repeat.
What power supply does the Skreddy Echo Infinity need?
The Echo Infinity runs on a DC power supply with a standard 5.5mm barrel by 2.1mm center coax connector and negative center polarity, which Skreddy Pedals calls the industry standard. Actual current draw is about 26mA, but the maker recommends a minimum 100mA supply.
What does the mix mod on the Echo Infinity do?
The mix mod keeps the dry signal at unity gain throughout the sweep of the mix knob. In practice, turning the mix control changes the balance of the delayed signal without altering the level of your unaffected guitar tone, so the dry sound stays consistent at any mix setting.
