Earthquaker Devices Ghost Echo Vintage Spring Reverb - Pre-Delay Control | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Earthquaker Devices Ghost Echo delivers authentic vintage spring reverb tones with modern controllability through analog/digital spring reverb emulation and variable pre-delay timing. This atmospheric reverb pedal features 30ms-150ms pre-delay control, infinite decay capability, and vintage-voiced character inspired by classic amp-top spring reverb units. Perfect for rockabilly, surf, ambient, and experimental guitarists seeking authentic spring reverb textures with enhanced control and reliability.
Product Overview
The Ghost Echo captures the haunting character of vintage spring reverb tanks while adding modern features for enhanced musical expression. The analog/digital hybrid design recreates the distinctive bounce, splash, and decay characteristics of classic amp-mounted spring reverb units with improved reliability and expanded control parameters. Variable pre-delay from 30ms to 150ms transforms the reverb character from quick rockabilly slapback to expansive ambient washes.
The pedal's unique response to playing dynamics creates different reverb characteristics based on your technique. Staccato playing reveals the tortured trails and echo-like qualities of spring reverb, while legato passages unlock massive ambient depth that fattens and enriches your guitar tone. This dynamic response maintains the organic, living quality that makes vintage spring reverb so musically compelling.
At maximum Dwell settings, the Ghost Echo descends into infinite self-oscillation, creating otherworldly textures and experimental soundscapes. The comprehensive control set allows precise tailoring of reverb character for any musical application, from subtle vintage enhancement to dramatic atmospheric effects.
