The Pigtronix Echolution 2 Ultra Pro delay pedal delivers an unrivaled set of delay effects and extreme on-the-fly programming flexibility. To begin with, the Echolution 2 Ultra Pro offers up a delay line with up to 12 seconds of delay and two taps, which you can subdivide into a number of time divisions to create cool rhythmical effects. And a looper, an LFO, an envelope, and an amazing multimode analog filter are just some of the additional features that let you create incredible soundscapes on the Echolution 2 Ultra Pro, far beyond the reach of a regular delay stomp.

At its most basic level, the Pigtronix Echolution 2 Ultra Pro is an incredibly flexible delay processor. You can subdivide the taps into one of five time divisions, including 1, 3/4, 2/3, 1/2, and the golden ratio Phi. By combining multiple taps and delay times, it's easy to create highly complex polyrhythms that warp and evolve as you play - and that's without getting into the Echolution 2 Ultra Pro's treasure trove of goodies. Speaking of which, you can also fully disable the Echolution 2 Ultra Pro's delay line, tapping into its filters and modulation, without actually delaying the incoming signal.

Aside from the incredible delays, there's the LFO section, which can manipulate the read and write heads to create cool modulation effects. The LFO also lets you send the Echolution 2 Ultra Pro's analog filter section into motion, which provides you with four filter modes and a powerful bit crusher distortion for added grit if you want it. Add to that reverse mode, ducking, and functions such as Shimmer and Jump that send each delay cascading up in octaves, and you can create some pretty cool and highly musical effects. And don't forget the included looping function you get with this awesome delay pedal from Pigtronix.

Pigtronix outfitted the Echolution 2 Ultra Pro with the same full set of top-panel controls that let you program and edit presets on the go. But with addition of the new double-digit preset indicator, there is now no need for bank selection. And the improved USB connection plugs you into a more powerful MAX/PC editor for an unprecedented amount of access to deep editing features. Now customizing the unreal range of sounds in your Echolution 2 Ultra Pro is easier and wide open to whatever you can dream up.
