The Skreddy Echo was designed to take over the duties of my old, green, tube tape echo.  My design goals were simple: 1) make it sound right; 2) it should inspire.  It is intended to emulate electro-mechanical units of the past and is not clean or pristine.

The repeats degrade very gradually into a musical, harmonic soup if you turn them up high enough.  Self oscillation is possible (though not in a touchy or unpredictable way) without the bothersome runaway volume some old analog delays have.

Ultra-High Sample-Rate (Delta-Sigma) Digital Delay with Analog Filtering and Limiting

Transparent, Analog "Dry" Path with Tons of Headroom

Effects Loop for Delay Line

All hand wired with Switchcraft open-frame jacks.

 Get Lost in Your Playing Again

Great classic tape delay tones (~50ms -- ~550ms) with as much or as little warble as you like

Sounds equally great clean or with overdrive, distortion, or fuzz in front

Effects loop allows delay-only processing or "wet" amp stereo setup featuring trails when the normal output is in bypass

Huge range, including slap-back, atmospheric, cathedral/stadium, self-accompanying rhythms, expansive delays, self-oscillation, vibrato-chorus-detuned effects, etc.

True bypass, runs on DC adapter only (not included), in/out/dc jacks all on back side, loop jacks on left side.

Size: 5" long x 4" wide x 3" tall (including jacks and knobs)

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS: (note: a power supply is NOT INCLUDED)

DC power supply must have a standard 5.5mm barrel x 2.1mm center coax > Polarity: negative center (industry standard) -- for example, a Boss™ or Roland™ or Digitech™/Harman Pro™ 9vdc power supply.

Amperage: you will want to supply a minimum of 100 ma (Note: it will not actually draw 100 ma; this just provides a generous surplus which insures that no variations in supply voltage will be carried through the circuit from the LFO sweep--and this is not important at all unless you are trying to dial out every bit of pitch-shift modulation). Actual current draw is only about 26mA. Voltage can be 9v for the stock, soft, "vintage" tone, or higher, up to 18v, for a clearer, harder, more "bell-like" tone -- for example, the Dunlop™ 18vdc power supply. Do not use an AC power supply DC power only
