Keeley Eccos Tape Flanged Delay
Keeley · pedal
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.
