Description
Overview
The Electro-Harmonix Pico Canyon Echo delivers the high-fidelity digital delay of the award-winning Canyon Delay and Looper in a streamlined, compact Pico chassis. Designed for guitarists who need professional-grade time-based effects without sacrificing pedalboard real estate, this unit provides a crystal-clean delay with a generous 3-second delay time.
Beyond standard echoes, the Pico Canyon Echo introduces advanced manipulation tools, including a versatile filter, tap tempo subdivisions, and a unique “Infinite Repeats” mode that transforms the pedal into a micro tape looper for experimental sound design.
Key Details
- Digital Delay Engine: Derived from the Canyon Delay and Looper for pristine, high-quality repeats.
- Extensive Delay Range: The DELAY knob allows for precise timing adjustments from a tight 8ms to a deep 3s.
- Mix Control: A dedicated BLEND knob provides total control over the wet/dry ratio.
- Feedback & Wash: The FEEDBACK control ranges from a single repeat to infinite loops, ideal for creating ambient pads and sonic washes.
- Integrated Filtering: The FILTER knob acts as a Low Pass Filter when turned below noon and a High Pass Filter when turned above noon, allowing you to shape the tone of the echoes.
- Tap Tempo & Division: Features an intuitive footswitch for tap tempo with a TAP DIV button to switch between quarter note, dotted eighth note, and eighth note subdivisions.
- Tails Bypass: Selectable bypass mode ensures that echoes continue to ring out naturally even after the pedal is switched off.
- Infinite Repeats Mode: A specialized mode that loops a single delay repeat while removing the input from the path, allowing the user to manipulate the loop via the DELAY knob for warped, tape-like effects.
Use Cases
- Ambient Soundscapes: Use the infinite feedback and high-pass filtering to create ethereal, floating pads that sit behind your lead lines.
- Rhythmic Precision: Utilize the Tap Tempo and dotted-eighth subdivisions for tight, professional rhythmic delays common in U2-style textures.
- Experimental Looping: Engage the Infinite Repeats mode to create a micro-loop, then twist the DELAY knob in real-time to create pitch-shifting, warped sonic artifacts.
- Clean Slapback: Dial the DELAY knob down to the 8ms-50ms range for classic rockabilly or vintage studio slapback.
Installation
The Pico Canyon Echo is a standard stompbox installation. Connect your instrument to the input and your amplifier or further signal chain to the output. The pedal is powered via a standard DC adapter (included), ensuring stable power for the digital circuitry.
Compatibility
This pedal is compatible with any standard electric guitar, bass, or line-level instrument. It integrates seamlessly into any pedalboard signal chain and is compatible with standard 9V DC power supplies (adapter included).
