Keeley Magnetic Echo Delay

Keeley Magnetic Echo pedal simulates tube tape echo sounds by using the delay circuit and a little bit of modulation.

Tape echos have long been regarded as a warm and very guitar friendly form of delay. The Mag-Echo achieves similar results by using a touch of Lo-Fi delay, a slightly filtered echo response to keep things warm, and some modulation.

Modulation, or Wow and Flutter in the tape world is a slight pitch shift or wavering that occurs as the tape is pulled across the heads. The modulation in this stomp box is similar to the one in the Seafoam Chorus pedal, a slight wavering of pitch on the trails of the repeats.

With a simple set of controls for the delay: Time, Regen, and Level and with the Wow and Flutter controls: Depth and Rate you can create some very vintage or rather unique tones.
