Where to get itAvailable from Soundtoyssoundtoys.com

EchoBoy is a delay and echo plugin designed to emulate the sound of classic tape, analog, and hardware delay devices. It offers four distinct echo modes (Single, Dual, Ping Pong, and Rhythm) with extensive controls for shaping tone and character. EchoBoy excels at creating both traditional delay effects and unique, animated echoes with analog warmth and character through tape saturation, wobble modulation, and dynamic EQ decay.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Style Editor with 3-band EQ (Low, Mid, High shelving and semi-parametric), Decay controls, and custom style creation
02Wobble/vari-speed effect (Triangle, Sine, Square, Random Walk, Random S/H shapes) with Sync control for phase and rate independence
03Saturation types (Clean, Tape, Warm, Pump, Dirt, Hard Limit, Soft Limit, Bright Limit) for tape or analog character
04Prime Numbers switch to minimize resonance in short delay times with feedback
05Accent control for alternating repeat dynamics; Warp effect in Rhythm mode for time clustering
06Diffusion with Size and Loop/Post switching for reverb-like effects
07L/R Offset (up to 25 ms) and Width control for stereo imaging

Things to Try

  • 01Use very short delay times (0–10 milliseconds) to produce flanging effects, or 10–50 milliseconds for chorus and doubling
  • 02Set Feedback high with Prime Numbers engaged to minimize resonance buildup in short delay times
  • 03Apply Decay with High band cut (negative value) to make successive repeats progressively darker, mimicking vintage tape darkening
  • 04In Rhythm mode, combine high Feedback with Shape set to Reverse to create '80s backwards echo sounds
