The Echo

Reason Studios

Where to get itIncluded with Reasonreasonstudios.com

The Echo is an advanced stereo delay and echo device with extensive tone-shaping capabilities including diffusion, filtering, distortion, and modulation. Beyond standard send/insert operation, it offers three distinct modes—Normal, Triggered, and Roll—enabling automated momentary effects and creative stutter/repeat textures. Its breakout jacks allow inserting external effects into the feedback loop for unlimited creative sculpting of repeats.
