Notes: Great for live performances! The Cosmic ECHO Squared is an analogue-sounding LoFi delay that will work with just about anything you plug into it.
The dark, lush, moody tones of the ever-popular PT2399 IC provide an out-of-this-world experience. Our take on this classic pedal pushes the chip's limits so you can explore all the gritty elements drifting at the edge of long delay rates. It already outperforms other bucket brigade style echoes, but just to be sure, we added 2 stomp switches, Blast and Warp.
The "Squared" version of the pedal is tailored to live guitar and keyboard performers. It has all the features of the original plus:
Expression pedal input over Rate
Warp and Blast ("Zone" on the Cosmic Echo) are now momentary stomp switches
Blast amount knob now accessible externally
Features:
Dark, rich sounds with the analogue vibe of a tape echo.
Uses the PT2399 IC, a bucket brigade style emulation. This IC has 16-bit sampling for 30-300 milliseconds. After that, the sample rate goes down in relation to the delay length. This results in artifacts and noise being introduced into the audio for weird, cosmic, psychedelic sounds.
Delay length: 30ms-1,250ms
4 knobs: Feedback, Mix and Rate, Blast Amount. The Mix is a wet-only control that attenuates the amount of delayed signal in the signal chain. The Rate controls the number of repeats in an organic-sounding way.
Warp button: Stomp switch that gives a bright, "small speaker" tone.
Blast button: Stomp switch that introduces feedback into the circuit momentarily. Great for adding rhythmic feedback and other strange sounds. The Blast intensity is adjusted with the Blast Amount knob.
Pedal may have a slight volume drop.
Great for shoegaze, surf rock, ambient and experimental sounds.
Pedal uses a 1590XX case.
Dimensions (L x W x H): 5 3/4" x 4 3/4" x 2 1/8" (146mm x 121mm x 54mm)
Takes a 9V battery or 9V centre negative 2.1mm barrel power supply (not included)
