J. Rockett Clockwork Echo

J Rockett · pedal

The J. Rockett Clockwork Echo is a boutique analog-voiced delay pedal designed to capture the warm, organic repeats of a vintage tape or bucket-brigade echo. With controls for time, repeats, and mix plus modulation, it produces lush, musical delays that sit warmly behind the dry signal, favored by players wanting vintage-flavored echo rather than pristine digital repeats.
