Electro-Harmonix Pico Canyon

Electro-Harmonix · pedal

The Electro-Harmonix Pico Canyon Echo is a compact, straight ahead digital delay offering clean, clear repeats with a variable filter to control the tonality of the echoes, up to three seconds of delay time and tap tempo, all in a tiny enclosure. From tight slapback and rhythmic echoes to long, ambient repeats, it provides reliable, high quality digital delay with the flexibility to darken or brighten the repeats via the filter. It suits players across rock, indie, ambient and pop who want a no nonsense, great sounding digital delay with tap tempo and tone control that takes up minimal pedalboard space, as a clean counterpart to EHX's tape voiced Pico Rerun.
