Misha Mansoor walks you through the Flux Echo

After over 2 years of design, testing, and tweaking we are so excited to finally be able to present our latest inspiration box: The Flux Echo!
It’s the result of years of research & development, our community’s great input and Misha’s extensive delay collection ranging from vintage tape echoes to modern crisp delays...
Mono and Stereo I/O's: The Flux Echo is designed to work great with most setups including traditional mono rigs as well as stereo rigs with multiple amps/instruments, it even sounds great with synthesizers.
Flux Mode: Variable switch that allows 3 distinct voices: a warm, ambient reverb with clean analog delay repeats, a lightly modulated reverb with a smooth reverse delay, and a shimmer reverb with a tape-style echo.
Tap/Hold switch: Tap to set your delay tempo, hold to freeze both reverb and delay. Once you let go both will decay as set.
Bypass/Delay and Reverb Trails switch: Tap to turn the Flux Echo on or off. Hold the bypass switch down while the pedal is on to enable or disable delay/reverb trails.

do I have to wear those socks in order to maximize the pedal's capabilities?

[@mattman1127]

Oh man this is perfect, exactly what I need at a great price

[@kaffeslurk]

10 pack Puma socks from Costco ftw

[@Jake-sx5ko]

Gonna be honest here, this is a really sick sounding and looking pedal with one fatal flaw. There is no way to turn the reverb off or pair different reverbs with different delay settings. After playing with it for a few hours I gotta say I found this pretty frustrating. Love the delays on here but paired with the reverbs all the time ? I don't know man I just feel like this is something that definitely should have been added and really takes away from the functionality of this pedal (especially the tape delay/shimmer verb combo). If there were internal controls for the reverb like the ones on the nano attack or even just a little button to turn it off this thing would have been near perfect. Unfortunately in its current state I find it a bit limiting but maybe at some point in the future we will see a 2.0 version of sorts.

[@leonbarron368]

Was wondering the same thing and thought that turning the reverb decay down all the way would remove the reverb? Shame if not

[@navironquillo7110]

Same situation! When i first bought this, i was wondering how to just use either the delay or reverb but there’s no way to use either one of the two. What i did was to put reverb on around 7 or 8 o’clock position to turn off the reverb.. but it’s kinda hard, a very minimal movement on that position will either remove delay or bring back the reverb. I was planning to sell this actually.

[@naitomea_st]

Just want to say that I found it a bit limiting because of that one factor as well. When I bought the flux echo I was hoping it would replace my dispatch master for my small board. And I get it, its a super fun, cool, nice ambient pedal!! But because of that one limitation for flexibility, I just couldn't replace the dispatch master. Sometimes I don't always want delay on, and same goes for reverb. Still a super cool pedal, but unfortunately it doesn't really have a place on my pedal board.

[@ctsaustin]

I love mine! The Flux mode up is my favorite setting.

[@baritonecult622]

Im assuming this pedal has to be a banger. With the success of the precision drive, there's no way this won't be awesome . Not in this day and age, 2 yrs of product development is called smart business. Excited for this pedal. Congrats on your success

[@dmytromorozov2593]

The overall design for controls/features in this pedal basically replicates Wampler Ethereal reverb+delay (which I own). Ethereal has more mids punch in its delay and reverb character, whilst FE sounds way more "transparent" and lunar. It would also be great to demo this pedal with some overdrives/boosts in front and see/hear how much headroom this pedal has. It took some time for me to get used to Ethereal's low headroom (after placing it in FX loop after my JC-40's preamp and running it at 18V, no issues though). Interesting pedal, thank you Horizon Devices.

[@MetalheadOv666]

Dmytro Morozov Do you run the Ethereal at 9v or 18v? I’m about to order one and using it with a power170 and KSR Ceres and wondering about the headroom issue you’re having. Don’t understand what you mean by it having low headroom. Thanks

[@dmytromorozov2593]

@@MetalheadOv666 I'm already running Ethereal only at 18V, and find no issues with that. "Low headroom" issues were actual for 9V power and "in-front" (not "in-loop") pre-conditions. Hope this helps

[@CraigRMerriman]

Horizon pedals are nicely designed! Sound great too.

[@MarkToast99]

I only wish there was a dial to set tempo. It’s hard to press those clicks buttons in rapid succession, but I love the feedback sound you get setting the repeat speed insanely high on delays

[@benlevin6275]

good job I'm up for work at 6am in the UK haha, hopefully they won't have sold out in an hour!

[@fredizdead2503]

Just got mine and I love it!

[@bradhargis2261]

Ordered mine today! Can't wait for it to get here. Edit: Got mine in yesterday and plugged it in today (07/22). First impressions are great. I can see why its frequently said its easy to get lost in this pedal just playing. With the right setting the reverbs are lush, the delays decay just right, the tap tempo and the trails select options are icing on the cake. Im loving it so far. It sounds as good as it looks. The only struggle so far is finding the balance on the mix knob, I get the mix good for my clean channel and then if I switch to lead channel the reverb delay mix is overbearing and needs to be backed down a bit. Not sure if thats just the nature of the pedal or my rig. Im running it after the precision drive into the front of my dual rectifier.

[@tillbauer8047]

Try it in the Loop, but im Having the Same ,issue‘ there haha

[@drifter61]

damn Misha! cant wait to get my hands on this dude, beautiful execution brother! thanks for making such amazing items for us like minded guitarists man, I appreciate all of your, and the Horizon Devices teams hard and consistent work. bad ass, I can't wait to get one of these!, maybe see if JST will update your signature plugin with this alongside the precision drive? like a 2.0 rerelease

[@marcxdestroyer]

Makes for great leads as well. Make sure you're plugged into the effects loop 🤘🏽

[@tolfred]

Nice and warm socks you've got there! Also, the pedal sounds very good!

[@alexskipp9683]

This looks and sounds great.

[@psychedelicloli]

Nice

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Got one.

[@gtrgareri]

Have been waiting patiently for this! Quick question, during a recent livestream you said something with WiFi was effecting the pedal? Maybe I misunderstood 🤷🏻‍♂️. How many will be available to ship tonight at midnight?

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

When is this being released please? I am waiting to buy.

[@andivax]

device demo examples via camera sound. epic! ))) you have my like tho

[@ayeapprove]

Sounds very similar to my EHX Oceans 11 but has stereo

[@adriancaulfield]

Amazing

[@nickh2517]

Coolest freakin delay

[@Danyu91]

Horizon Devices store says theyll restock late September; it's already Sept 30; where's my shit so I can preorder it already? XD Love you guys

[@carterburkey7659]

I have those same socks!

[@JarodGrieco]

4:10 Mile Zero ;)

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Shame it didn't come with a link to a pdf for instructions though

[@SHININGXHOLLOW]

can i use this pedal with an audio interface for recording ? :)

[@elus1ve0ne64]

Hey Terry, Yea you should be able to run in into an interface and record with it.

[@PhantomNeptune]

Just got my FluxEcho set up & it literally doesn't produce any echo. The buttons don't activate when i press them for some reason?? Is anyone else experiencing something like this. Im not quite sure what im missing. The sound passes through, but the Tap Echo button & the bypass button dont activate when triggered. I've never seen this happen with any guitar pedal I have ever used. Its almost like the contacts never got put together in the internals or something... Someone please help. The horizondevices website won't let me ask questions about the flux echo so idk how to get information about why these buttons won't trigger

[@davidhollowelljr949]

I have a MIGHTY NEED

[@CloudburstStudio]

How would this compare to the Dark Sun though? 🤔

[@GeraldLyn]

But both and let us know!

[@haakanlight9661]

I will have both once the flux echo arrives.......

[@arikutoy999]

Does it work better with the puma socks?

[@siddheshsatam5662]

Out of curiousity, is it analog or digital?

[@ronikinnunen298]

Nice socks!

[@paperhanger29]

We have the same socks

[@spucclah8039]

i wish you could choose to use just one of the effects at a time, this is honestly not a practical pedal and I will probably just return it and find a reverb pedal

[@alfredoandrea8345]

I don't want to see Guitar Feet. Excellent effect I got the email to pre order and will be placing an order.... Oh shit I haven't seen the price yet .. hold on to that thought

[@samwisegrangee]

What's the max delay time on this box?

[@dannyarganda]

Tone is all in the costco socks

[@Joseandresyanes]

what sock are you using?

[@RisingForce1990]

Really suspect that there is no distortion demoed on this prior to launch. Very hesitant to purchase since this may be a one trick pony.

[@larrymartin87]

How much

[@Danyu91]

Be honest, at first you heard "Misha from Perizon Devices".

[@thechronicnoizeco.6675]

You sound like someone I’ve heard on a podcast.

[@Mattstiless]

I want a bandpass boost pedal with no controls and just a footswitch

[@Namelessforever_]

You better be buying those puma socks in bulk from Costco at a discounted price my man!!

[@ROCKSTARCRANE]

I can get all this with a couple of $50 pedals....

[@33pivot]

puma

[@jnc06f]

I didn’t know Jimmy Kimmel was a pedal guy.

[@pete3024]

sounds like jimmy kimmel is giving us a demo

[@abhishekpillaytalks]

"analog styled delay' I mean it is an analog pedal....

[@JaneDoe-yj1ki]

* smacks forehead in disbelief *

[@juliansedor7101]

How about wear some shoes for a product demo. Be professional please.

[@TheMetalhead0283]

I’m here to let you know I’m the first dislike
