La Maléfique – echo

Here it is, the first pedal of the analogue vintage style series.

A rich, warm and darker delay developed with simple digital/analog IC chip converter. Its unique sound quality made it specially useful with distorted tone, where often many more sophisticated delay pedals fail. Its sound quality could be compare to the old classic space echo or tape echo units.

BLEND:
It sets the straight guitar signal. Fully CCW, you will have only the effected signal or no straight signal. Full CW will give you the loudest straight signal.

VOLUME:
It sets the level of delayed signal mixed with straight guitar tone. Fully CCW, full no delay signal or only the straight guitar signal heard. Fully CW gives you the loudest echo/delay signal.

Both control buttons allow to perfectly balance both signal at all time, with all type of guitar pickups.

TONE:
This button fines tune the delay feedback tone. It is specially cool when reaching a higher feedback ration (repeat delay signal).

DELAY:
It controls the delay time from 24ms to 580ms.

REPEAT:
Controls the repeats of the delay signal. Fully CCW gives one repeat. At fully CW, you get infinite feedback.

The 3 positions toggle switch in the center of the pedal gives you 3 specific tone frequencies for that very cool feedback of yours.

Momentary SPDT switching for triggering self-oscillation (infinite feedback).

True bypass 3PDT switching.

– Short direct path signal
– No filtering, so as to retain the echo decay as natural as possible
– No distortion or tone discoloration as long as you maintain the sound level below the maximum allowed, view the white LED intensity as a guide
– You can place La Maléfique before or after any distortion pedal
– La Maléfique works on clean signal in term of a vintage echo
