The following Styles are included in EchoBoy:
Master Tape
Subtle tape compression and distortion, modeled after the Ampex ATR-
102 we have in our lab, running at 30 ips. High-Fidelity, but smooth and
musically pleasing, saturates very nicely.
Studio Tape
Subtle distortion and high frequency compression modeled after the
ATR-102 running at 15 ips, typical of the sound of tracking to studio tape.
EchoPlex
One of the true classics. This style is modeled after the EP-3 solid state
tape echo.
Space Echo
One of our favorites, modeled after the Roland RE-201 Space Echo we
have here in the lab. Warm and gritty, the RE-201 is a staple sound of
dub and reggae, but sounds phenomenal on a wide variety of sources.
True to the unit’s original character, the unique self-oscillation of the
Space Echo is achievable in EchoBoy utilizing the ‘Feedback’ control.
Tube Tape
Modeled after a modern tape echo. Lot’s of high mids and distortion.
ECHO STYLES (continued)
Cheap Tape
A Soundtoys original, modeled after the characteristics of a variety
of vintage consumer-grade tape stock. Bright and very compressed
sounding.
Memory Man
Warm low-bandwidth chorus echo, modeled after the Electro-Harmonix
Memory Man delay pedal.
DM-2
THE guitar echo sound, modeled after the classic Boss DM-2 guitar
pedal. Produced from 1981-84, the DM-2 is the quintessential bucket-
brigade delay. Warm, resonant, punchy, but clean.
TelRay
Modeled after the Adineko (pronounced “add-an-echo”) oil-can delay
from 1960s California based manufacturer Tel-Ray (later to become
Morley). Operating off a mechanism consisting of a magnetic brush
head, a rotating insulated belt around a can, and lots of dielectric oil
sloshing about, the Tel-Ray produces a dark and warbling/wavering
echo.
Binsonette
Another Soundtoys original. This is a wonderful warbly, compressed
echo sound, modeled from several Binson Echo-Rec and Echo-Rec II
units in the Soundtoys lab. The Echo-Rec was used most notably by Pink
Floyd and is absolutely perfect for guitar and keys.
