"Delay time allows you to go from the stock old school unit maximum delay time of about 300ms all the way to 1s delay time.

12 way selector chooses the following playback head combinations:
-One
-1&2
-2&3
-3&4
-1&3
-2&4
-1&4
-1, 2, 3
-2, 3, 4
-1, 2, 4
-1, 3, 4
-1, 2, 3, 4

There is an internal trimmer that adjusts the randomness and intensity of the modulation. Howard designed a dry audiopath that we don't want to ever turn off, so we decided to include a trails, true bypass switch... We're pretty sure you will always keep your Echorec on trails mode, cause the audiopath is THAT good!"

found this:
The selector accessed either echo (one repeat), repeat (more than one repeat) or swell (reverbs cleverly devised by feeding the outputs of the heads back to themselves)"
To recreate that you need 4 delays, either 4 pedals or a circuit with 4 delay lines in it, and some sort of mixer.
Connect the inputs in parallel and set the delays to 4 different times fast to slow, they're your 4 playback "heads", if you're using 4 pedals turn the "feedback" all the way down so you just get one repeat.

Then for echo you just mix the output of how ever many "heads" you want with the dry signal.
For repeat you do the same but also take the output from one of the "heads" and mix that back with the input signal to get some feedback.
Like he says in that clip swell is basically the same as repeat but using all 4 heads for playback with one of them feeding back to the input.
