Surreal Audio Echo Sphere Analog Delay
$499.00

[NEW] The Echo Sphere has something for analog purists and new-school effects lovers. Truly one of the best analog delays I've come across, Echo Sphere boasts 4 Xvive MN3005 BBD chips for over 1200 ms of delay time. Its feature set is exhaustive without being overly dense - a power lfo section that can modulate any / all parameters of the delay , independent lfo onboard tap tempo with subdivisions , 32 presets , fx loop , and a three dynamic EQ modes that alter the tone control to let you lean into the old-school grit of the BBD chip OR polish the repeats for the perfect blend of clarity and warmth.

The Echo Sphere is for the delay lovers and tone seekers looking for THE best sounding analog delay repeats with modern features and flexibility. We're stoked to have them in the shop and think you'll love experiencing the magic of Echo Sphere.

Key features include:

- Tap tempo
- Delay note subdivision
- Independent LFO tap tempo
- Expression pedal control
- FX loop for easy access to the delayed feedback loop to apply external effects.
- Stores up to 32 presets
- Selectable LFO destinations
- Swell - momentary feedback switch for self-oscillation
- Adjustable input and output levels with internal Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCA)
- Powerful tone control with internal Voltage Controlled Filters (VCF)
- Maximum delay time range from 40mS to 1.3 seconds
- Selectable buffered or true-bypass modes
- Selectable trails mode

Why is the ECHOSPHERE different?

The ECHO SPHERE has a fully analog signal path. No analog-to-digital conversion. No 1’s and 0’s. Just pure analog magic with all the quirks and non-linearity that make analog effects special. However, the ECHO SPHERE is smart. It remembers every knob position to be recalled at any time from memory. This is because every parameter is adjusted by various control voltages generated by an internal processor. Inside the ECHO SPHERE there are separate Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCAs) controlling the input, repeats, wet and dry signal levels. There are also Voltage Controlled Filters (VCFs) consisting of a 2-pole highpass filter and two 4-pole lowpass filters that function as both tone control and anti-aliasing filters required for use with the bucket-brigade devices. This allows for an advanced modulation matrix that can not only modulate time but any other parameter as well.
