Not Just A Delay - An Echosystem

Empress Effects Announces Release date for Echosystem

Ottawa, April 20th, 2017: After an extremely well received showing at the NAMM show in January 2017, Empress Effects has announced the release date for their Echosystem pedal. According to Empress Effects COO Dan Junkins, “They should begin shipping on May 4th, 2017”. Here’s a few highlights of what to expect when the Echosystem hits the streets:

Spanning the gambit of known delay possibilities and beyond, the Echosytem could be the ultimate delay- crafting tool. Faithful emulations of classics like digital, tape and analog delays are numerous, as well as Empress' own take on each of these delay styles. Moving beyond the traditional, the vast amount of sonic ground the Echosystem can cover becomes apparent. Check out the ambient modes when you're feeling chilled out, or perhaps visit the multi tap modes for a taste of inspiration.

The Dual Engine functionality allows any 2 of these delays to be used together, routed in parallel, series, or left/right configurations.

In addition to delays, there's the super-useful reverb combos, which will elevate any guitar part. Oh, and don't forget Whisky mode, best accompanied by a dram of whatever you've got!

FEATURES

• 36+ studio quality algorithms and counting - The pedal has 12 algorithm types, all with multiple variations. For example, there are 4 different tape delays on tap.

• Classic Sounds - Emulations of classic tape, digital and analog units are available, as well as our take on these types of delay.

• Easy to use and fast to dial in - All the algorithm controls are sitting on a knob in front of you, no fiddling through laborious menus.

• Tap Functions - Global tap tempo as well as local tempo with lots of subdivisions are available on all modes, in addition to being able to set the delay time directly with the knob.

• Low Noise signal path - Features a signal to noise ratio of >104dB and maintains an analog dry path.

• Dual Delay Engines - 2 delays can be used at the same time, each with its own full set of controls and routed in serial, parallel or left/right.
