Echo Phase

I can do that, I’ll begin at once…

And so a modern legend was born…

The Jimi Hazel Echo Phase is a inspired piece of music, art and engineering. It’s a product of the modern social world. You can form instant and long term bonds with people around the world. Like we did with Peter Gusmano and the Cure series, this pedal has a part of the proceeds that go to charity, in this case Autism Speaks.

The Jimi Hazel Echo Phase is very powerful dual effect unit that has dedicated processors for each effect. This allowed us to have maximum control over perfecting the sound of each effect. It gave us unparalleled ability to make the sounds as musical and delicious as possible.

Keeley Engineering – Dual Spin Microprocessors

We took our EP-3 and Fulltone Tube Tape Echo as reference points in creating an echo that is our best simulation. Care went into recreating every nuance of these machines, including distortions, high and low pass filter of both the tape heads and the feedback circuit as well as the output, and natural tape modulations.  Many haven’t played through a good tape echo in a while.  You’ll really dig how this echo becomes more mid-range focused as it repeats.  Just like the originals.  It keeps your echoes nice and distinct.

Our Phaser side took a look at the wonderful sounding Small Stone. The Small Stone phaser is a 4 stage phaser, but wouldn’t it be awesome if it was a 2 or 6 stage as well? So we did just that. We added a Range Control to give you control over the depth of the Phaser like a blend control would do.  Then there’s a Feedback Control to recycle the audio and give it a more dramatic and vowel like effect.

 Art and Engineering Come Together

Jimi and I instantly bonded and I had my team dive into his musical history to try and find the deepest sources of inspiration.  We found a wealth of music that was not only inspiring but it spoke to us.  We were moved to create this tone.  We wanted that sound too!  After working tirelessly for months, Aaron Tacket my DSP engineer, crafted a musical palette that you will be able to paint music from.  It is our finest tape echo simulation.  It is our finest phaser.  The Jimi Hazel Echo Phase is our finest dual effect pedal.

The Cause – Autism Speaks

A $5 donation for each pedal will be made to Autism Speaks thru the end of the year.  So every pedal purchase helps in some way that is very close to many of you as well as Jimi and I.  Thank you in advance!

News Flash!  We will also donate the exact same amount to The Autistic Self Advocacy Network http://autisticadvocacy.org/  -> $5 per pedal will also be donated to this organization.
