The VHT Echo-Verb is a delay and reverb effects pedal from [VHT] that combines both effects in one enclosure with two completely independent sections. The delay side is analog and, in the maker's words, delivers vintage-style repeats; the reverb side is handled differently, with the reverb mixed in parallel with the analog signal path so only the reverb itself is processed digitally. The maker positions it as a simple way to blend ambient echoes and spatial reverb for creative textures1.
How the two sections work
The Echo-Verb's two sections are built to work apart or together. Each has its own footswitch and true-bypass switching, so the delay and reverb can be used alone or simultaneously, and the bypassed section stays out of your signal1.
The parallel reverb design is the notable part of the circuit. Because the reverb is mixed in parallel with the analog signal path, only the reverb itself is processed digitally; the dry signal does not pass through the digital side. The delay section is analog throughout, which is where the vintage-style character of the repeats comes from1.
The controls
The two sections have separate control sets, so delay and reverb settings are dialed in independently1.
| Section | Control | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Delay | Decay | Adjusts the tone of the repeats from bright and clear to darker and mellow1 |
| Reverb | Dwell | Dedicated reverb control1 |
| Reverb | Tone | Dedicated reverb control1 |
| Reverb | Mix | Dedicated reverb control1 |
Power
The Echo-Verb runs on a 9V DC, center negative supply1.
The maker lists 9V DC center negative power only. No battery option or current draw figure is given, so use a 9V DC center negative output from a pedalboard power supply.
Related pedals with the same name
Two other pedals share the Echoverb name, and they are different designs:
- The MOOER EchoVerb combines a high quality reverb and digital delay into one small pedal, with either effect usable alone or simultaneously and tap tempo on the delay via footswitch or LED button2.
- The Cooltone Pedals Echoverb Delay is a digital delay; Pedal of the Day's 2020 review described it as "a simple but tone-enhancing digital delay"3.
- The Oneder Effects Wet Hot Modulated Echoverb folds delay, reverb and modulation into one pedal4.

Questions
Is the VHT Echo-Verb true bypass?
Yes. According to the maker's product page, each effect section features true-bypass switching, so your guitar's signal passes through untouched when the delay or reverb is switched off. Because the two sections switch independently, you can leave one side engaged and the other bypassed without affecting the rest of your signal.
What power supply does the VHT Echo-Verb need?
The VHT Echo-Verb runs on a 9V DC adapter with a center negative plug. No battery option or current draw figure is given by the maker, so plan to use a standard 9V center negative supply from your pedalboard power unit.
Is the VHT Echo-Verb analog or digital?
It is a hybrid. The delay section is analog and delivers vintage-style repeats. The reverb is mixed in parallel with the analog signal path, so only the reverb itself is processed digitally while your dry signal stays analog.
Can you use the delay and reverb separately on the VHT Echo-Verb?
Yes. The pedal has two completely independent sections, and either effect can be used alone or simultaneously. Each section has its own true-bypass switching, so you can run delay only, reverb only, or both together.
