Foxgear · pedal
The Foxgear Echosex Baby Delay is a compact, Binson Echorec-inspired delay pedal, the smaller sibling of Guru's Echosex, delivering rich, warm echoes from subtle slap-back to expansive, ambient washes. Level, Tone, Repeat, and Time controls shape the delay, while the Age control reproduces the wear and mechanical warble of an aging Binson-style magnetic drum echo unit, adding a halo of textural warmth and instability to the repeats. True bypass keeps the dry tone unaffected when off. It suits players wanting warm, textured, vintage-voiced delay in a compact, pedalboard-friendly size.
