Empress - EchoSystem

[@dirtfriend]

i've recently started playing guitar and man, i'm so glad your vids exist. i don't think i could've taken anymore pedal demos with blues/rock noodling. a+ stuff my dude.

[@els1f]

I couldn't agree more! Every time I look up a video to demo a new pedal that's coming out or whatever, I close the video feeling like I never want to listen to music again. Nothing but terrible blues rock riffs and hair metal. This channel and Chords of Orion are both heaven-sent.

[@simondrysdale7518]

I'm in the exact same position, couldn't agree more!

[@siriusfun]

I'm going to agree *less*, just to keep things fair...

Filter/ambient/reverse/stutter and lofi are awesome. The timeline may have met its match here man

This is the most amazing delay pedal I've ever used, hands down ! I'm sure the Timeline is awesome as well (I've never played through one) but i really couldn't imagine it being better than the Echo system, this thing opens up entire world's of inspiration . Thanks Empress !!!

[@Jimbo386000]

I bought a timeline and it was cool, but mine had some problems so I decided to return it for this. This looks even cooler, but it was too expensive at the time, but I've gotten paid since then so yeah. hahaha

[@YonatanLidar]

Love you @knobs just placed my order. Definitely what i was searching, for a song im working on.

[@cadenceangel]

Such an amazing pedal by Empress. Great demo!!

[@FabioMartinaMusic]

Recently got it one for myself. Unbelievable device. Amazing. Paired with my digital piano or with the Sub37… amazing!!

[@go4384]

If it had a looper I might jump on it. Really torn between a DD 500 and a Strymon Volante, but the Strymon doesn’t have a dual delay.

Lovely demo, I listen to your excursion for the simple pleasure of listening to your playing as well as your wonderfully informed insights. Was about to buy one when I read the manual and discovered . . . NO KILL DRY SETTING !

[@eternalvoid2678]

Just when I thought I didn't need anymore pedals... I'll stick to my flashback X4 for now, but this does look a lot better. The interface looks really good too!

[@hachoo3318]

Love your sounds! I'm asking myself how much work/talent does it take to come up with such presets? Am I going to get frustrated with the echosystem because there's a lot to understand before getting to more ambient sounds or will I be able to figure out the user interface quite intuitively? I just discovered that this is yet another pedal you helped to develop 😮 hats off

[@AMOW42]

this is stunning.

[@frgmntk8716]

I really love the more experimental modes on this pedal (especially long ambient, whiskey, reverse pitch). However, the tape and analog emulations don´t sound that great i think... So i´m wondering if it´s worth the price. Is there another pedal that would give me a similar functionality like the mentioned modes?

[@satdigroho]

awww yeah... feelings...

[@colinnielsen2158]

hey guys? do any of you know how he gets that kind of popcorn sound like at 0:42-1:20 ? Is it a special technique or is it simply just the petal?

[@palmacbeth885]

sounds gorgeous but its hard to know what the pedal is doing- how much is looped vs live playing? how much is the audio edited? can we have wet/dry comparisons? still. cute music

[@marianomanzano4851]

Can it control the delay time/ ratio using an expression pedal in stutter mode? I would like to get that random/controlled glitchy stuff

[@janohnisko4316]

I need an advice. I have the Echosystem and the "delay time/ratio" knob only controls delay time. How can I make it to control ratio of the repeats? It doesen't matter if I'm in the red, blue or green mode. It always controls just delay time. Is my pedal broken?

[@jozzh___]

This is awesome! Anyway, how to contact you to do a pedal demo? Any email? thanks :)

[@om9482]

is there somewhere where i could hear your music?

[@TorrieSeager]

Hello. I have a question for owners of this pedal. I run two delay pedals. Delay 1 is always on and VERY low in the mix. Delay 2 mix is controlled by expression pedal and can go from no delay (heel) to high in mix (tow). Can this pedal do this on its own? Could i have two delays where only one was being controlled by expression pedal? Thanks to whoever reads this.

[@yhwhrevength622]

Pretty sure this is just two Echo Royals right?

[@manintheshed9830]

Should I sell my Red Panda Particle for this? I'm torn...

[@Paolo_Pino]

How do you record knobs movements? I found nothing on the manual.

[@neverfox]

Is this supposed to be a replacement+delay for their Reverb or would it actually be something you'd more likely put with the Reverb if you want delay?

[@DK-qe6uo]

neverfox no way! The Reverb is amazing. But I imagine the two together would be even more so

[@copernicansun744]

@knobs question, in your demos you seamlessly transition from one effect to the next despite the pedal settings changing. For the echosystem how difficult is it to create a palette of effects in a live situation without bending over and twisting knobs endlessly?

[@Knobs]

Quite easy, it has a bunch of preset slots. You would have to set that up in advance of course, but it would give you similar results to what you see here. Just requires you switching the presets while performing and knowing which preset is which

[@copernicansun744]

@@Knobs Thanks, I am trying to decide between the new EHX Grand Canyon Delay and Looper and Echosystem...the Grand Canyon is versatile although I can't get beyond the tone coming out of this box

[@gustavomendez6279]

Super curious, does this pedal do an auto swell like the timeline does when you hold a switch down??

[@gustavomendez6279]

Maybe that's not the right phrasing... can you control the oscillation the way you could on the timeline?

[@apolloc.vermouth5672]

Oh god, this or the Chase Bliss Thermae? Paralysed with indecision here - someone decide for me please

[@fromorf6388]

It sounds very good but for me there is a problem.Instead of making that Tap Tempo you should make it to repeat in miliseconds.I make electronic music and i need delay to be very precise sometimes and with tap tempo if i want to use it like in 1/8 or 1/16 tap tempo is never precise

[@fossil155]

How and why does this pedal not have midi I/O?! That's the only thing that's stopping me swapping out my Timeline for one of these.

[@softundsicher]

My thought exactly - however, it does! You just need a MIDI to jack converter like Empress' own to make it work via the Exp input.

[@fossil155]

Yeah I just found out about that! Wonder if I can find people to do straight swaps for the Big Sky and Timeline I have haha

[@l.e.b.3803]
