Eddie Van Halen achieved part of his iconic sound using classic tape echo units such as the Echoplex. These classic units of yester-year however are expensive, unreliable and nowhere near pedalboard-friendly. Keeley’s Magnetic Echo can let you emulate that desirable sound in a small package.

Classic Sounds

Keeley have perfected the Mag Echo to sound as close as possible to units such as the Echoplex. Using a hint of Lo-Fi delay, the filtered echoes are warm and can complement your guitar sound – clean or distorted.

The magnetic tape in old-school units suffered from wear and degradation, however this created some amazing sounding modulation on delay repeats. This is why Keeley have added a circuit similar to their Seafoam Chorus pedal, letting you modulate the echoes to replicate that incredible sound without any hassle.

Simple Layout, Easy to Use

The Magnetic Echo has a simple and practical layout, easy to adjust in the studio or mid-song. You can control the volume of your repeats with the Level – set it low for just a touch of delay to thicken your sound, or set it high for some percussive Edge-inspired sounds.

The Regen control lets you decide the number of repeats, turn it down for some slapback delay or crank it to get some crazy self-oscillated sounds. The Time control affects the speed of the repeats, and with 40-600ms of delay time available you have a versatile range available. Set this control low for some instant country-inspired slapback, or raise it for some slower experimental sounds.

The Depth and Speed controls allow you to control the modulation. With the Speed low, a slow and subtle chorus can be achieved, or turned up you can get an intense yet musical warble. You can easily affect the intensity of these effects with the Depth knob.

Here’s what Keeley have to say about the Magnetic Echo:

Keeley Magnetic Echo – The Mag-Echo pedal simulates tube tape echo sounds by using the delay circuit and a little bit of modulation.  Tape echos have long been regarded as a warm and very guitar friendly form of delay.  The Mag-Echo achieves similar results by using a touch of Lo-Fi delay, a slightly filtered echo response to keep things warm, and some modulation.  Modulation, or “Wow and Flutter” in the tape world is a slight pitch shift or wavering that occurs as the tape is pulled across the heads.  The modulation we use is similar to what we use in our Seafoam Chorus, a slight wavering of pitch on the trails of the repeats.  With a simple set of controls for the delay – Time, Regen, and Level and with the “Wow and Flutter” controls – Depth and Rate you can create some very vintage or rather unique tones.

Delay

Delay is a time-based guitar effect that produces echoes or repetitions of the original signal after a certain amount of time has passed. It works by recording the incoming audio signal and then playing it back with a slight delay, creating the perception of multiple instances of the sound occurring over time. Delay pedals typically offer controls for adjusting parameters such as delay time, feedback (the number of repeats), and level (the volume of the delayed signal). By manipulating these controls, guitarists can create a wide range of delay effects, from subtle ambiance to rhythmic patterns and spacious soundscapes. Delay is commonly used in various music genres, including rock, pop, ambient, and electronic music, to add depth, dimension, and texture to guitar solos, rhythm parts, and atmospheric passages. Popular delay pedal models include the TC Electronic Flashback, Boss DD-7 Digital Delay, and Strymon Timeline.

Echo

Echo, also known as delay, is a guitar effect that produces discrete repetitions of the original signal after a certain period of time. These repetitions are called echoes and are heard as distinct, spaced-out repetitions of the original sound. Echo pedals typically offer controls for adjusting parameters such as delay time (the length of time between the original sound and each echo), feedback (the number of repetitions), and level (the volume of the echoes relative to the original signal).

Echo effects can range from subtle repeats that add depth and dimension to a guitar tone to more pronounced echoes that create rhythmic patterns and textures. They are commonly used in various musical genres, including rock, blues, ambient, and electronic music, to add atmosphere, depth, and complexity to guitar solos, riffs, and rhythm parts.

Echo pedals are versatile tools that allow guitarists to create a wide range of echo effects, from classic tape echo simulations to modern digital delays with advanced features like tap tempo and stereo output. Popular echo pedal models include the TC Electronic Flashback Delay, Boss DD-7 Digital Delay, and Strymon El Capistan.

pedal

A pedal is a compact device that guitarists use to alter their instrument’s sound by shaping effects such as distortion, delay, reverb, and modulation. Typically housed in a rugged enclosure and controlled by footswitches, pedals are designed to be placed on the floor for hands-free operation during playing. They can be analogue or digital, true bypass or buffered, and come in countless varieties to suit different styles and preferences. Pedals are essential tools for creating signature tones and adding colour and texture to a guitarist’s sound.
