StarskyCarr Dives into the Mad World of the Erica Synths Echolocator

StarskyCarr dives deeper into the Echolocator’s array of presets. With 51 factory settings, each offering a different aural flavour, the Echolocator is no ordinary delay pedal. Starsky seamlessly morphs between these presets, showcasing how each shift effectively transforms the sound being played. This isn’t merely about delayed echoes; it’s a playground for your ears. Dressed in a sleek, user-friendly interface, the Echolocator invites you to twist knobs and slide through dimensions of sound. It’s like unveiling a sonic kaleidoscope where every twist reveals a new burst of auditory colour.

The Erica Synths Echolocator, according to Starsky, is more than capable of creating mind-bending audio effects. Slipping into BBD (Bucket Brigade Device) territory, this pedal boasts a dirty mode that provides a crunchy, vintage delay sound. Starsky brings in flanges and helices through this mode, tweaking filters to embrace both clean and grungy feedback loops. With modulation and a robust filter section, he highlights how you can sculpt and twist your sounds with precision. Starsky finds joy in the gritty possibilities that echo old-school punk alike.

Here, StarskyCarr takes us through shimmer and chorus effects, two gems within the Echolocator’s crown. The shimmer effect adds an ethereal, almost magical layer, creating celestial backdrops that could make even the dreariest track soar. Starsky points out the small modulation tweaks that can turn a humble sound into an expansive audio wonderland. He accentuates how the Echolocator’s design allows for deep customization, explaining the nuances between pitch settings that transform an ordinary chorus into something extraordinary. It’s a sound designer’s paradise – creating lush pads and ambient swirls that truly captivate the senses.

In the final stretch, StarskyCarr circles back to review the vast landscape of features that the Echolocator offers. It’s described as a box of infinite possibilities, where features like MIDI and footswitch controls open up performance magic. Starsky hints at potential improvements, perhaps wishing for more automated modulation control. Despite this, he remains captivated by the hands-on nature, suggesting that the charm lies in the manual fiddling itself. The Echolocator, with its dizzying array of controls and textures, feels like a toolkit waiting for creative exploration – a playground for anyone with the guts to dive deep into its potential.
