Description

Summary

X-Echo is your vibe machine, adding the gloriously warm sound of vintage tape to your recordings, sessions and even jams. Soft compression, hiss and the well-known gradual degradation of tape have all been meticulously modelled and combined with SSL’s renowned console-style saturation and LF/HF EQ.

In addition to advanced waveform visualisation, built-in ‘DE-ESSER’ and delay ‘WIDTH’ control, X-Echo features a brand-new SSL reverb design: Capable of subtle space to the richest of plates, all the way to a reverb tail which can fill a canyon, all via the single-knob ‘DIFFUSION’ control.

Able to effortlessly deliver traditional tape delay effects like swirling echoes and classic slap back, X-Echo is also capable of more contemporary creative delays commonly found in electronic music, and of course can be driven to self-oscillation via ‘FEEDBACK’ or add creative swells via ‘FREEZE’ and ‘KILL’
