SoundToys ECHO-BOY

When Soundtoys designed EchoBoy, they were looking for an echo that was warmer than existing delay plug-ins, yet not as dark as guitar pedal echos. Since its release, EchoBoy has quickly become one of those 'must-have' plug-ins for Pro Tools, and has become a permanent fixture on the aux faders of hundreds of top mixers and engineers.

Find an echo tone that fits your mix by choosing one of the 30 built-in echo styles modeled after our personal collection of vintage echos. Soundtoy's favorite is the warm sound of "Studio Tape", modeled after our ATR-102 half-inch two-track machine. You'll also get instant access to a whole range of classics, including EchoPlex, Space Echo, Memory Man, DM-2, and the TelRay oilcan delay. EchoBoy's chorus even emulates the CE-2 chorus, considered a holy-grail of guitar chorus pedals. And yes, turn it up! EchoBoy is designed to be abused, just like real analog gear.

No math needed to figure out delay times! Just dial in a musical note value and lock it to your song's tempo with the flip of a switch. Fine-tune the echo rhythm with the Groove, Accent, and Feel controls. With these simple controls, dial in a musical sound that fits your style. EchoBoy is the only echo processor with true musical groove control.

Even though EchoBoy is easy to use, it's also incredibly versatile. Switch to Dual Echo or Ping-Pong modes for powerful stereo echo effects. Or use Rhythm mode's remarkably easy-to-use 16-tap rhythmic delay. Under the Style Tweak button you'll find a 3-band parametric EQ with separate control over echo decay and tone. Choose the amount and type of analog saturation, dial in the amount of tape wobble, and even reverb-style diffusion control.
