Even though we’ve provided plenty of cool Echo Styles, we realize that some of you might want

EQ
EchoBoy includes an extensive and versatile 3-band EQ section that provides the means to truly
tailor the overall tone and frequency content of the delays in both standard and unique ways.
There are three EQ sections; Low, Mid, and High. The High and Low EQ’s are gentle shelving
filters while the Mid EQ is a one band semi-parametric EQ. The EQ section affects both left and
right channels of the delay and does not affect the input signal.
Freq
The Frequency knobs are used to control which portions of the audio frequency range are
affected by the Gain and Decay controls of each of the three EQ sections. For the Low EQ, any
Gain or Decay will affect the frequencies
below the Low Frequency setting. The High EQ works
the opposite, with frequencies above the High Frequency setting affected by the Gain and
Decay knobs. The Mid Frequency EQ is a peaking filter, meaning that any boost or cut will occur
at the Mid Frequency setting.
