Echo1
Free Vintage-Style Delay Plugin
Echo1 is a stereo delay plugin featuring two separate delay lines for the left and right channels. Each channel can be adjusted independently in terms of timing, while a shared feedback control influences both. It includes tempo synchronization and a stereo visual display to track how the delays behave in real time. Beyond delay, Echo 1 expands its capabilities with additional processing tools: an auto-panner with adjustable speed and width, a modulation section that blends phaser and chorus effects, and a built-in reverb. The signal chain is completed with high-pass and low-pass filters. It also provides full control over the dry/wet mix, along with a master bypass and individual bypass options for each module.
