Adjust the balance between reverb and delay. 

Start out with immersive reverb and only a touch of rhythmic delay taps. Turning the knob to the other extreme produces clear, articulated delays with faint reverb. The center position creates a dense mixture of equal parts reverb and delay.

Pressing the button introduces reverb pre-delay to create a sense of spatial distance between you and the reflections. The pre-delay time remains rhythmically linked to the delay time knob

The delay time ranges from 1 millisecond to 10 seconds. From metallic ring-mod textures to forgetting you had a delay.

Engage the button to instantly and smoothly reverse the delay. Send it forward. Reverse it again. Back and forth. With your finger on the button. Or your foot on the switch.

We nominate 2 millisecond reverse delay as your new favourite weird distortion.

The knob response is precisely tuned, so you don’t get lost in those 9.999 seconds of delay time range

Feedback controls both the reverb decay and delay repeats. 

It starts with short early reflections on the reverb side and a single delay repeat. Turn it up as you usually do. Get to those lush echo tails. When you’re approaching 4 o’clock on the knob you’ll find that beautiful spot where both the delay and reverb feedback endlessly without going into noise. But make one step forward and throw all precautions to the wind. Let the self-osilating feedback take over. A loud noise warning is warranted.

The button activates granular reverb processing that introduces audio-rate textures or slow, pitch-shifted modulation. The reverb tail is sliced into rhythmical grains that jump between octave and perfect fifth intervals. The grain size (or rate) remains rhythmically linked to the delay time knob. 

The knob that puts monk into monk echo. It controls how much reverb and delay is sent through the monk voice. All the way up and you’ll hear only the strange monk resonances. Dial it back to mix it with clean and lush echos.

With a press of the button the knob now controls the character of the monk echo voice. Low and moody male monks, angelic female choirs or bright children’s voices.

There are two ways how the monk echo can accompany you.

When the button is off, you are in control. Explore different vowels – aaaa, eeee, uuuuu, oooo, you get the drift. Find the one you like. Find the the one that matches how you feel. Find the one that works for what you are playing.

By pressing the button you let the monk echo take over. Focus on your playing dynamics and once monk echo detects a volume accent it will choose a different vowel. By turning the knob you can determine how quickly one vowel will glide into another. From quick robotic jumps to long and moody transitions.

Add movement. From slight chorusing to sickening instability. Both modes control the reverb and delay modulation but in two different ways.

With the button off you get a classic static sinewave modulation and the knob lets you dial in the modulation depth to your taste. Nothing wrong with good old classic modulation. 

But when you turn the button on, the movement in both reverb and delay follow your playing dynamics. Play a note and the sound fluctuates for a moment and then returns to stability as your note decays. Play a louder note and it fluctuates even more. Crank the knob and stab a heavy chord and both the reverb and delay will wobble and bend under the pressure.

By now you should have created big and lush monk echos. Now it is time to make them ugly.

With the button off, you are distorting the once beautiful reverb and delay tails. At first it is a very slight distortion, reminiscent of an old radio with a weak speaker. But keep turning the knob and you’ll eventually get to a massive wall of overblown sound. Yes, it dooms.

Press the button and explore a more subtle side of ugly. If distortion adds to the sound, then degradation removes from it. It removes a few bits of sound here and there. Like a vinyl crackle that sometimes pleasantly disrupts the music. Increasing the degradation will make the monk echo loose even more bits of itself, inevitably ending up with only few short fragments of what it used to be – like a disintegrating mind.

To provide immediate visual feedback, every parameter movement—no matter how subtle—is displayed on the 8×8 LED matrix, offering a unique, intuitive, and performance-ready interface unlike anything seen on a guitar pedal before.

The Macro Control system allows players to link multiple parameters to a single control source, making it possible to sweep smoothly between dramatically different sound states. This not only unlocks all the rich texture “in-between” settings that are usually difficult to dial in—it also turns the pedal into an expressive performance instrument. 

The Macro control can be operated via the dedicated knob, an expression pedal, or the pressure-sensitive footswitch, allowing players to morph sounds hands-free in real time and react to the moment on stage.

Monk Echo is designed and built in Latvia, crafted from powder-coated, heavy-duty metal for durability. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure long-lasting reliability and a premium feel.
