The Electro-Harmonix # 1 Echo is a digital delay pedal that is designed for use with electric guitar.  The pedal has a 1/4 inch input and output and requires 9 volt power.  It isn't a rack mountable piece of gear as it is a stomp box.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the Electro-Harmonix #1 Echo is extremely easy to follow and understand.  The pedal simply has three knobs that includes parameters for blend, delay time, and feedback.  That is pretty much all that there is to the pedal, so as you can see the make up is extremely basic.  Even those who don't know too much about delay pedals will probably be able to understand everything going on here without a problem and for this reason I don't think that the manual is needed.


SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of the Electro-Harmonix #1 Echo is quite good as far as digital delays go.  I always try to use an analog delay when I can, which Electro-Harmonix has plenty of in their line, but this is a cheap substitute for one if you can't afford the Memory Man or another analog delay.  I have used the #1 Echo with a Fender Strat and a '76 Fender Twin Reverb for recording for the most part and have definitely be pleased with the tones that I am able to get.  While I don't believe that the sound of a digital delay will ever beat an analog one, the #1 Echo has a sweet sound nonetheless.


OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the Electro-Harmonix # 1 Echo in the studio for about a year and it has definitely served me well.  It is great for getting a clean delay tone but definitely lacks the warmth that a true analog delay will bring to the table.  On the other hand, the price of this pedal is much cheaper than an analog delay would be, making it viable for players on all levels and budgets.  If you are looking for clean delay pedal that is easy to use and won't cost too much, I would definitely recommend the Electro-Harmonix # 1 Echo.
