Gurus EchoSex delay - anyone use one?

[Achilles]

Came on the radar recently and is a pretty intriguing unit. Anyone ever had their hands on one?

I had the first iteration of the Gurus Echosex. It looked great.


Didn't have any option to control Multi-head behavior, though. Disappointed
me. Even the Catalinbread Echorec has that feature, as well as a Tone control

and a built in Preamp.

I recall it having a Tube in it, too. Haven't had any experience with the smaller
form factor Echosex(es).

Man that is one uncomfortable name for a pedal.

That name makes me think of this

The Catalinbread Echorec and Belle Epoch are both great delays, even without a tube.

The Echosex on the other hand, I've never played one, but I've read a bunch of not-so-thrilled reviews. I'd look elsewhere, if I were in the market for a tube delay, that's for sure.

I had the OG one for a hot second… I no longer have it

Just scored a Boss SDE-3000 to scratch the new delay itch. Need to start experimenting with two separate delay times like Petrucci does a lot.
Plus the modulation on this thing sounds amazing.

Congrats!


I bought the EVH version of that pedal. Best Gear Purchase of 2023.... even if it didn't arrive until
January of 2024.
