Wonderful Audio Technologies Ancient Echoes

In excellent condition with box. Really lovely mix of PT-2399/Belton brick reverb and echo that can be big, dreamy and ethereal, gritty and modulated, or even subtle and spring-like.

“Echos in Greek means "Sound"... the sound of the ancients.  Ancient Echos is a unique take on a reverb pedal that combines delay, modulation, and reverb tones in such a way that allows you to simply add texture to your tone or drench your sound into droned out ambiance.  Ancient Echos Reverb doesn’t try to emulate any particular reverb sound, instead takes the PT2399 and Belton BRDR-3H and pushes each chip to the extreme to create its own delicious sound that doesn’t stomp on your playing, instead enhances it, giving you the tools to explore your creativity.  A reverb pedal born of the idea that what has been, colors what is now, and blurs the lines between traditional and ambient reverb tones. Capable of room tonal thickening, springy neo-surf rock, drenched ambient decays, cavernous endless echos, and warbled sea cave reflections, all with a touch of low-fi textural colorations.  

​

At its core, Ancient Echos splits your signal in two. One signal passes through to output, enhanced by the input buffer and preamp, while the other signal passes through the rest of circuit. This signal passes through a pre-delay, gets filtered, then splits in two again where part of the signal loops back into the pre-delay circuit to build space and add ambiance to your sound. It is also manipulated by modulation controls, adding gentile sways or sickly swirls to the reverberations. The whole affected signal then passes through a reverb circuit, which can vary from a light plate-style reverb to the sound of vast, cavernous reflections. From there it travels through a low-pass filter and back to mix in with the dry signal.”
