The Keeley ECCOS is a neo-vintage tape delay and looper that blends warm, dark analog-style echoes with authentic reel-to-reel flanging for lush, evolving repeats. The delay trails are tone-modulated rather than merely pitch-shifted, so the shape and color of repeats constantly shift, recalling Eddie Kramer and Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland textures. A tone knob sets how the echoes sit in a mix, handling everything from tight slapback to soupy ambient washes, and an onboard looper adds convenience. It suits players after classic analog delay colors paired with vintage studio flange effects. Its standout character is sumptuous tape-style flanged delay, though its multi-function controls carry a real learning curve.
The Way Huge Aqua-Puss is a bucket-brigade analog delay famed for warm yet bright, bubbly, splashy repeats and old-school slapback, offering 20 to 300 milliseconds of delay time. Its repeats add gentle even-order distortion and a lived-in, vintage glue that thickens tone and evokes the inviting feel of classic recordings. Often called the brightest analog delay on the market, it stays warm without going too dark, and pushing feedback throws it into wild, space-warping self-oscillation. With simple delay, feedback, and blend controls, it is a favorite for short to medium analog echo and slapback, used by players like John Mayer for warm, characterful repeats in blues, rock, and roots styles.
