Ghost Echo Voiced Reverb
You hear that EVP, bud? It’s the all new, extra spook-tacular, Ghost Echo ®
calling out from beyond the void! The Ghost Echo is our spooky take on the
haunted amp-top spring reverberation units of yesteryear. This creepy
analog/digital spring reverb emulation machine boasts a terrifying 30ms –
150ms of pre-delay, controllable via the Attack
knob, for everything from a quick, rockabilly slapback, to viscous pools of
ectoplasmic reverberations. When playing staccato, you’ll hear the tortured
trails of the reverb,
resulting in more of a slapback, or echo sound. Legato playing will reveal a
massive ambient “depth” that fattens up the sound – and look out it’s right
behind you! Phew, that was close. The Dwell control sets the length and
thickness of the decay, which is to say that it controls how long the
disembodied spirits of notes no longer with us float through the ether; at the
maximum setting, it will decend into an infinite loop of self oscillation.
The Depth sets the intensity of the reverb, which you probably know as the
wet/dry mix, but we like to think of it more as how scary the overall effect
is. The Ghost Echo is true bypass and built one at a time by a team of
friendly ghosts in the never-ending hall of funhouse mirrors that is Akron,
Ohio, USA.
Controls
Attack: Adjusts the length of the pre-delay, from 30ms at minimum to about
150ms at maximum. When the Dwell is set to self-oscillate, this will change
the pitch of the
oscillations.
Dwell: Adjusts the length of the decay. This will start to self oscillate
around 3 o’clock. The pitch of the oscillations can be changed by turning the
Attack control.
Depth: Mixes in the wet signal with the dry. Unity is around noon and
everything after is boosted.
Power
This device take a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative
center barrel.
We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power
supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if
there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains
and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and
let through unwanted noise. DO NOT
RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
Current Draw: 86 mA
Input Impedance: 10 MΩ
Output Impedance: 1 kΩ
Switching
This device is true bypass and uses electronic relay-based switching. Audio
will not pass without power.
Warranty
This device has a limited lifetime warranty. If it breaks, we will fix it.
