The Way Huge Echo-Puss Analog Delay is an analog delay pedal designed by Jeorge Tripps, whom the maker describes as a delay expert. It delivers up to 600ms of delay from a pair of bucket-brigade chips, the circuit type behind the warm, degraded repeats players associate with vintage analog delay, and adds a tweakable modulation section for shaping the repeats1.
What it does
Jim Dunlop's product page describes the Echo-Puss as delivering "up to 600ms of organic delay with Tone and Blend controls"1. The repeats come from two bucket-brigade chips, which the maker characterizes as "gravelly-voiced"1. Tone shapes the delayed signal and Blend sets how much of it sits against your dry sound.
The pedal's distinguishing feature is its modulation. A fully tweakable LFO modulation circuit lets you add what the maker calls a liquid texture to the sound of the repeats, so the echoes can carry a moving, chorus-like quality on their own1.
When MusicRadar covered the pedal's unveiling in May 2012, the publication described it as a "500ms analogue delay with variable modulation"3. The maker's current page gives 600ms as the maximum delay time1, so the two published figures differ.
Power
The Echo-Puss runs on a 9-volt battery or a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter. It is also compatible with the Dunlop DC Brick, Iso-Brick and Mini Iso-Brick power supplies, which are not included with the pedal1.
Availability
Jim Dunlop lists the Echo-Puss as a legacy product that is no longer in production1. The maker's parts page for the WHE702S remains online, carrying the pedal's parts listing and warranty information1. Players looking at Way Huge's current delay range can compare it with the Way Huge Supa-Puss Analog Delay or the smaller Way Huge Smalls Aqua-Puss Analog Delay, and with other designs on the delay pedals type page.

Questions
Who designed the Way Huge Echo-Puss?
The Echo-Puss was designed by Jeorge Tripps, whom Jim Dunlop's product page describes as a delay expert. Tripps is the designer behind the Way Huge line, which is sold by Jim Dunlop. The pedal carries the Way Huge Echo-Puss Analog Delay name and the WHE702S model designation on the maker's parts listing.
How long is the delay time on the Echo-Puss?
Jim Dunlop's product page gives a maximum delay time of 600ms, delivered by a pair of bucket-brigade chips. When MusicRadar covered the pedal's unveiling in 2012, the publication described it as a 500ms analog delay with variable modulation, so the two published figures differ.
Is the Echo-Puss still in production?
No. Jim Dunlop lists the Echo-Puss as a legacy product that is no longer in production. The maker's parts page for the WHE702S remains available, which is where the pedal's parts and warranty information are listed.
Is the Echo-Puss analog or digital?
The Echo-Puss is an analog delay. MusicRadar's 2012 coverage of the pedal's unveiling described it as an analog delay with variable modulation, and the maker's page describes its bucket-brigade chips, the circuit type used in classic analog delay designs.
What does the modulation do on the Echo-Puss?
The Echo-Puss has a fully tweakable LFO modulation circuit. According to Jim Dunlop, it lets you add a liquid texture to the sound of the repeats, shaping the character of the delayed signal rather than the dry tone.
