MALEKKO EKKO 616 MKII ANALOG DELAY
For years, Malekko has been synonymous with the best quality BBD
delays available. Today the evolution continues with the EKKO 616 MKII, a
full featured yet compact delay with external modulation controls, an
optional buffer, internal level pot and 650ms of pure analog bliss!
Not content to leave well enough alone, we decided to go through
every aspect of our acclaimed EKKO 616 to see how it could be improved
upon. Every detail was scrutinized, data sheets compared, parts swapped,
and hours of listening followed before we were satisfied. These
resulting hand picked components of the highest quality are used to
achieve what we consider the nicest sounding, most musical analog delay
pedal we�ve made!
The E616 MKII�s specially voiced repeats allow a larger bandwidth to
pass than most traditional analog delays. Turn the mix pot all the way
up and the repeats will be near unity with the dry signal. The
regeneration pot will take you from a simple slapback to a nice gentle
decay of a few repeats then all the way to taking off into outer space
with just a turn of the pot! Engage the modulation button and the EKKO
616 MKII takes on a whole new personality, from subtle chorusing or
beautiful vibrato to way WAY beyond. Choose between true bypass or
buffered bypass. The EKKO 616 MKII�s revised buffer circuit is smooth
and transparent, even with many pedals on your board. Tired of annoying
volume drops? An internal trimpot (labeled �gain�) will allow you to set
the EKKO 616 MKII�s level to your specific setup.
Operates on a 9V battery or optional 9VDC neg tip regulated power supply.
Updates from the original 616:
- The modulation range has been massaged to allow much finer tuning for a more balanced overall effect
- The MIX pot now allows louder effect levels
- Improved buffering circuit resulting in flat response
- Redesigned protection circuit for enhanced component saftey
These changes add up to a cleaner, richer, sweeter, more flexible and
musical analog delay. Even the EKKO 616 can appreciate that! AND at the
same low price! Awesome!
At Malekko, we are constantly looking at ways to improve our
products. We enhanced our EKKO 616 using the highest quality components
to provide you the ultimate expression of our vision. Enjoy. Well, I
say, enjoy.
Controls:
Time � Turn this knob clockwise to set your delay time from 6-650 milliseconds.
Mix � Adjusts the output level of your delayed signal.
Regen � Sets the amount of delay regeneration (repeats).
Modulation LED � Indicates modulation effect is applied to your delayed signal and LED flashes the modulation speed.
Mod Button � Press this button to engage or disengage the Modulation effect.
Speed � Adjusts the speed of the Modulation effect. Turning clockwise increases the speed.
Depth � Adjusts the depth of the Modulation effect. Turning clockwise increases the depth.
T/B button � You can set your EKKO 616 to buffered bypass (button down, LED lit) or true bypass (button up, LED off). True bypass affects the gain of your pedal.
Buffered Bypass LED � Indicates the buffered bypass is engaged (LED on).
