Soundtoys EchoBoy - Manual (Page 8)

Which brings us to EchoBoy. EchoBoy is NOT your cousins delay device. EchoBoy (we hope) is
likely to become one of these coveted delay devices that stand the test of time if not for its
flexibility and coolness then at the very least for its SOUND! Bottom line is we have taken
incredible pains and gone to great lengths to provide you with a delay/echo device that can
really NAIL all those classic and great delay sounds; all in the form of a simple to use (mostly!)
Pro Tools plug in.
EchoBoy provides the necessary controls and parameters to emulate virtually any classic or
contemporary delay device. Its main goal was to provide you with EXCEPTIONAL and versatile
sound: one that is truly musical, harmonically rich and with real character. Though it can do
that “input-sounds-like-output” thing, it excels at providing an incredibly wide range of unique
and “analog” sounding delays, each with a unique and palpable character. It has a ton of
controls that allow you to carefully interject the kind of anomalies that were inherent in tape
and analog devices. You can get as tame or as wild as you want and the Rhythm Mode provides
for some truly new approaches to multi-tap delays.
So we proudly and humbly offer you our latest creation: EchoBoy. As Sun Ra once said; “Space
is the place” and EchoBoy will likely take you to spaces and places that you have not gone
before. And with all Sound Toys units, EchoBoy provides “Audio with Attitude”. Enjoy!
What and Who is SoundToys Anyway?
If you already own one of our other products like FilterFreak, PhaseMistress, Crystallizer, or
Tremolator, you can skip this section but if not, read on to find out who we are and what we do!
So what the heck is "SoundToys" anyway? SoundToys is a concept, a vision, a new line of
totally cool, sonically superior audio FX plug-in devices designed to set a new standard in
regards to plug in processing and sound. And, it’s our new company name.
You see all of us at SoundToys (formerly Wave Mechanics) are a bunch of audio geeks that
thirst for new ways to manipulate and mangle sound that are innovative, unique, and with
sound quality that is in a class all its own.
While everyone and their grandmother is modeling older gear these days, we are busy wracking
our collective brains to develop NEW devices that are truly inventive and will stand the test of
time – the kind of things you’d take with you to a desert island.
