Pigtronix Echolution 3

Pigtronix · pedal

The Pigtronix Echolution 3 is a multi-tap stereo modulation delay that distills the brand's deep delay platform into a streamlined four-knob enclosure. The Time control spans 100 milliseconds to 5 seconds, also settable via the onboard tap tempo, and a Special FX tap switch unlocks Reverse, Jump (which pitches the delay line up an octave), and a push-and-hold Pong that sends echoes bouncing between left and right channels. It offers extensive sound design including multi-tap rhythms, modulation tempo sync, a variable low-pass filter, flexible signal routing, and comprehensive MIDI control, plus four onboard presets expandable with the Universal Remote footswitch. Despite this depth the layout stays clean. It suits ambient, experimental, and rhythmic players wanting everything from simple repeats to lush multi-tap stereo soundscapes.
