Product Description for the Malekko Heavy Industry EKKO 616

Malekko Ekko 616 Analog Delay

The Ekko 616 is the latest analog delay pedal from Malekko Heavy Industry. No longer will clock noise be an issue with your delay. The Ekko 616 has virtually no clock noise and with the buffer engaged, it could be the quietest analog delay on the market! The switchable buffer/true bypass allows you to get either a brighter full frequency tone or a darker more Floydian sound respectively. Malekko is well known for the high quality Echo 300 and Echo 600 pedals, now the Ekko 616 brings the price down to the working musician's budget. The Ekko 616 also features adjustable modulation with the controls right on the front instead of having to open the pedal up and deal with annoying trim pots.

Malekko Ekko 616 Tone

The Malekko Ekko 616 has a solid hand up in the analog delay market. In buffered mode, the guitar's signal is strong and clear and the repeats maintain clarity a bit longer than your average analog delay. With the true bypass mode engaged, your signal remains unchanged (this is also a great way to compare buffered vs. true bypass in your setup) and the repeats are warmer and more lo-fi. The modulation is fantastic. The speed and depth controls are right at your fingertips and range anywhere from subtle chorusing to wildly modulated pitch craziness. It may be a newcomer but its definitely a contender. The Malekko Ekko 616 is destined to become a staple for any working musician that needs a great sounding analog delay pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal....
