Soundtoys EchoBoy

The EchoBoy by Soundtoys is the ultimate echo plugin that encompasses decades of echo device history and brings together innovative features into a versatile effect that will enhance every aspect of your mixes. EchoBoy is designed with a vintage tone, inspired by a collection of vintage gear to provide the essence of popular echo boxes. It offers 30 built-in styles modeled on vintage gear, including EchoPlex, Space Echo, Memory Man, DM-2, and the TelRay oil can delay. EchoBoy’s chorus emulates the CE-1 chorus, a prized guitar chorus pedal. The plugin is designed to offer a variety of sounds beyond standard delay stompboxes.

Presenting a robust design for musicians, EchoBoy offers a simple way to achieve expressive, musical echo effects swiftly. Unlike vintage hardware echoes, EchoBoy provides perfectly timed delays by allowing users to dial in a musical note value and lock it to the song’s tempo. Its Groove, Feel, and Accent controls allow for the fine-tuning of the echo’s rhythm, facilitating the creation of echoes that rush or drag against the beat. It is the only echo effect that provides this level of musical groove control.

EchoBoy also features advanced options for those who wish to explore. It includes Single Echo mode for simplicity, Dual Echo or Ping-Pong modes for powerful stereo echo effects, and a powerful Rhythm mode. It also introduces a unique Rhythm Echo mode, which allows users to select the rhythmic timing of up to 16 repeats. Its Style Editor offers creative tools for creating any delay sound imaginable. Users can control the amount and type of analog saturation, dial in some realistic tape wobble, or add reverb-style diffusion.
