The Rate and Depth will modulate the delay but the overall effect of these control will vary with the Echo knob. Longer Echos will give the reflections a more traditional delay-type of feel, while shorter ones will create a more droning atmospheric ambience The overall experience of this knob is tied to the Echo control. The heart of Ancient Echos – and controls the feedback loop within the delay line. At the bigger settings you’ll start to hear the drones of modulation. Counterclockwise is a small room and clockwise is, well, bigger. Higher delay times is like lobbing a ball of sound through the air and having it hit the chamber wall of a catacomb so that it bounces all over the place.Ĭontrol for the depth or size of the reverb. Low (counterclockwise) pre-delay will create more “classic” reverb tones (quotes because this is in no way a classic reverb pedal). Pre-delay for the reverb portion of the circuit. The darker settings will have an impact on how much the Reflections knob can reflect your signal. Counterclockwise is brighter, clockwise is darker. The Reverb’s effect level, the dry signal is always constant.
From there it travels through a low-pass filter and back to mix in with the dry signal. The whole affected signal then passes through a reverb circuit, which can vary from a light plate-style reverb to the sound of vast, cavernous reflections. It is also manipulated by modulation controls, adding gentile sways or sickly swirls to the reverberations. This signal passes through a pre-delay, gets filtered, then splits in two again where part of the signal loops back into the pre-delay circuit to build space and add ambiance to your sound. One signal passes through to output, enhanced by the input buffer and preamp, while the other signal passes through the rest of circuit. Capable of room tonal thickening, springy neo-surf rock, drenched ambient decays, cavernous endless echos, and warbled sea cave reflections, all with a touch of low-fi textural colorations.Īt its core, Ancient Echos splits your signal in two. A reverb pedal born of the idea that what has been, colors what is now, and blurs the lines between traditional and ambient reverb tones. Ancient Echos is a unique take on a reverb pedal that combines delay, modulation, and reverb tones in such a way that allows you to simply add texture to your tone or drench your sound into droned out ambiance.
