Guitar players often have a hard time finding the right kind of delay for their pedalboard. There’s digital, analog, analog model, and not to mention, brands upon brands upon brands. Unfortunately, you’re about to find two more stompboxes that’ll make rendering any kind of final decision even more impossible (which, as any gearhead will tell you, is part of the fun). Take a gander at the Echobandit Gold and the Echobandit Silver—two echo pedals voiced to represent the classic characteristics of prized delays from erstwhile ages.
The Silver is modelled on the Echoplex, giving you speed, mix, tape, and feedback controls. The sound is dark, like the original Echoplex, eliciting a vintage and warm vibe. The Gold, on the other hand, is modelled on the Binson Echorec, recognizable on dreamy Pink Floyd passages, among other sources. Its tone is slightly distorted, more pronounced in the midrange, and able to deliver anything from slap backs to more experimental repeats. The pedal also offers speed, mix, tape, and feedback controls.
Both pedals provide true-bypass circuitry, an LED status indicator, and a sturdy aluminum body with a plastic bottom. This bottom facilitates the implementation of optional wireless-power technology. You can also choose to power the pedal with any compatible DC adapter ranging from 9 to 18V.
Will these pedals solve all your delay-selection problems? No. But this much can be guaranteed: they’ll make the problem so much more interesting.
