Designed for musicians, EchoBoy Jr gives the ability to customise the divisions of your echo repeats in musical terms such as 1/4, 1/2 notes as well as dotted and triplet feels. Of course, there is manual control to punch in the time for a more loose and humanistic feel and groove to your repeats, this can also be synced to your DAW host tempo for more precise repeats.

Diving deep into the rich history of musical delay outboard units and pedals, EchoBoy is a culmination of decades worth of research and advancement, in a single plug-in. Including seven different styles of delay, each modelled from a ubiquitous piece of musical history, you'll find a tone for your projects no matter what style or genre you're creating. Often expensive and difficult to source, vintage hardware equipment contains the secret 'mojo' but lacks the functionality and reliability of digital software, therefore EchoBoy Jr needed to blend functionality with authentic analog tones.
Going as far as to include another history piece of equipment, EchoBoy features one of the most revered outboard chorus units within the arsenal of sound-shaping tools to create unique sounds that go above and beyond what was ever possible with traditional delay units and stompboxes. Accurately modelling the classic hardware includes emulating the signature response when driven hard, something EchoBoy Jr excels at. When pushed to the limits, EchoBoy Jr 5, Digital Delivery will generate warm and musical harmonics that can take even the most basic of digital sounds to the analog world.
While offering a huge range of functions and flexibility, EchoBoy Jr is designed with musicians in mind to quickly and easily take control of your repeats without the need to consult a manual or traverse difficult menus and sub-menus. Presented in an intuitive and easy to read interface, with EchoBoy you can express your creativity freely whenever inspiration strikes. Unlike the vintage hardware that is contained with EchoBoy, syncing up to your projects and mixes to create tempo-synced repeats is a breeze, as to is dialling in a different character and tone through a simple dial for the saturation section.
Labelled in musical terms, the division of your repeats is split into common ways to echo your signal, including 1/2 beats, 1/4 beats and even includes the ability to create dotted or triplet echos from your signal. Of course, there is also manual control to set your tempo in milliseconds to add a more 'human' and loose feel to your tones, as well as the ability to sync your divisions to your hosts DAW tempo.
Not to say that EchoBoy sounds digital or sterile and too 'fake', as there are plenty of options for adding in a distinctive feel by adjusting the Groove and Accent controls, where your delays can now drag or rush against the beat to create a lifelike humanised performance, including a 'Pitch-glide' for time-stretched effects.
Fusing both functionality with intuitive operation, EchoBoy Jr delivers far beyond what you have come to expect from traditional delay plug-ins. A wide range of presets, organised into categories, can be used to quickly and easily get up and running with incredibly interesting and unique delay trails that can add movement and space within your mix or alternatively take complete control over the customisation of your delay signal and discover your sonic signature. Keep it simple and use only the conventional parameters to create basic mono, digital delays or switch to Normal, Wide or Ping-Pong mode to create powerful stereo effects that cover the full spatial field. Take it up one step further and explore what the powerful Glide mode has to offer and how they can transform your understanding of what's possible with delay!
