Skreddy Pedals Skreddy Echo Mini

The Skreddy Echo Mini is a vintage-style delay from Skreddy Pedals, built small and simple. Maker Marc took the circuit from the larger Skreddy Echo and compressed the parts layout, deleting the modulation section, to fit it into a standard small enclosure¹. The result is a straight delay with what the maker calls a lush, analog, tape-like sound, and no pitch shifting on the repeats¹.

The pedal is currently listed as a preorder, at a list price of $301 discounted to $270.90 as of October 25, 2026².

A vintage-style delay with the modulation removed

The Echo Mini sits at the compact end of Skreddy's delay line. The maker describes it as taking the Echo circuit and compressing the parts layout, deleting the modulation section, squeezing it into a standard small enclosure¹. In practice that means you get the repeats without the pitch wobble that tape-style delays often add: as the product page puts it, "No pitch shifting, just the straight delay"¹.

The delay line is digital, an ultra-high sample-rate (delta-sigma) design, but the filtering and limiting around it are analog, which is how the maker gets at the vintage tape-like character¹. This is the same architecture as the big-box Skreddy Echo, which adds a transparent analog dry path, a delay-line effects loop, and a mix control that can go 100% wet³.

For comparison, the wider delay market splits the same way. The Electro-Harmonix #1 Echo and Electro-Harmonix Pico Canyon Echo are digital designs⁴⁵, while the Black Mountain Roto Echo and Electro-Harmonix Slap-Back Echo are analog⁶. The Catalinbread Belle Epoch Tape Echo is another vintage-echo-styled option, though it cannot run on batteries⁷.

Where the Echo Mini fits in Skreddy's delay range

The Echo Infinity shows what the Mini leaves out: it offers "lush, tape-like, saturated delays with adjustable modulation and an infinite-repeats footswitch"⁸. If modulated repeats matter to you, other small pedals cover that ground, from the Ibanez ES2 Echo Shifter's modulation switch, which MusicRadar's review notes adds pitch-shifted repeats⁹, to the Mattoverse Warble Swell Echo MkII with its 8 modulation waveforms¹⁰. The Keeley Mag Echo takes a subtler route, with what Delicious Audio's demo describes as "a slight wavering of pitch on the trails of the repeats"¹¹.

Power and bypass

The Echo Mini runs on a 9V DC supply, and you can use up to 18V if you want more headroom¹. The connector is the industry standard 5.5mm barrel x 2.1mm center coax with negative center polarity, so it works with common pedalboard power supplies¹. Current draw is only about 26mA¹.

On bypass, the Mini differs from its big sibling. The Skreddy Echo is true bypass, which the maker notes means no trails³. The Echo Mini instead uses buffered bypass in order to facilitate trails, so the delays naturally decay after you switch it off. The maker also says the buffer is the Echo's dry circuit and a better quality signal than true bypass switching¹. Trails are a common feature elsewhere too: the MXR Joshua Ambient Echo has a Trails button that, as GuitarPlayer.com reports, "lets the echoes gradually fade even after the pedal is disengaged"¹².

Size and circuit

The Echo Mini measures 4 1/2" long x 2 1/2" wide x 1 3/4" tall¹, against the big-box Skreddy Echo's 5" x 4" x 3" including jacks and knobs³ and the Echo Infinity's 5" x 4" x 2"⁸. That makes the Mini the most pedalboard-friendly of the three, closer in footprint to compact options like the Electro-Harmonix Pico Canyon Echo at 3.65 x 2.0 x 2.0 inches⁵.
