Superb Value Delay
The Greenhouse Effects Roots Echo is a superb value analogue-style delay. Its delay time of up to 500ms takes you from straightforward slapback to ambient soundtracks with a near-endless trail of warm, lush repeats.
Back-to-basics functionality makes the Roots Echo a dream to use, but it gives a nod to the future with its innovative switching...
The Roots Echo features DSS (Dual Switching System), which allows you to hold down the footswitch to activate the self-oscillation mode for some great ambient sounds. Release the footswitch and the self-oscillations gradually die out.
The Delay control adjusts the delay time, up to 500ms.
The Regen control adjusts the number of times your original signal is repeated. Each repeat degrades in fidelity, just like it would with an analogue delay.
Adjust the dry to wet signal ratio with the Mix control. You can set the Mix high for a more upfront delay, or set it lower for a more subtle effect.
