EchoBoy’s unique “Echo Styles” control makes it easy to radically change the echo tone quality
to suit your taste and musical style. We’ve built in a wide range of different echo sounds, from
the subtle warmth of high-end studio tape echo, to the lo-fi warbly sound of classic tape echo
boxes like the Echoplex and Roland Space Echo. To change the Echo Style, simple click on the
Echo Style pop-up control.
Here’s a quick run-down of the built-in styles:
Master Tape Subtle tape compression and distortion, modeled after the ATR- 102 we
have in our lab, running at 30 ips.
Studio Tape Subtle distortion and high frequency compression modeled after the
ATR-102 running at 15 ips.
EchoPlex One of the true classics. This style’s modeled after the EP-3 solid state
tape echo.
Space Echo One of our favorites, modeled after the Roland RE-201 Space Echo we
have here in the lab.
