Electro-Harmonix Pico Canyon Echo Digital Delay Pedal

Electro-Harmonix PICO CANYON Overview

Packing the echo effect from the award-winning Canyon Delay and Looper into a compact Pico chassis, the Pico Canyon Echo from Electro-Harmonix is a simple yet deep sounding digital delay pedal that offers delay times up to 3 seconds. Thanks to the infinite repeats possible with the Feedback control knob, this humble little pedal can generate cavernous time-bending effects that belie it s small physical size.

With its simplistic and intuitive controls, you can easily adjust Blend for wet/dry balance, Delay for delay timing, and Filter for engaging high- or low-frequency attenuation. Tap tempo is supported and you can select between 3 tap division modes (1/4 note, 1/8th note, and dotted 1/8th note) for a wide range of echo patterns. The selectable Tails bypass lets you switch from a standard buffered bypass to one that lets your echoes ring out over your bypass activation. The Pico Canyon Echo includes a 9V power supply to get you started.

Simple yet Powerful Controls

The Canyon Echo features a Blend knob to get the perfect wet/dry mix. The DELAY knob sets the delay time from 8ms to 3s. Feedback is adjustable from 1 repeat to infinite repeats for endless delay washes and pads. Turn the Filter knob past noon and it s a high-pass filter while below noon it s a low-pass filter.

Tap Tempo

Tap Tempo is simple and easy to use. Just press and release the footswitch at least two times to set the tempo and the LED will blink to confirm your tap tempo. The tempo can then be subdivided from a quarter note (red LED) to a dotted eighth note (orange LED) to an eighth note (green LED) with the Tao Div button. Additionally, the Canyon Echo also features selectable Tails bypass, so echoes continue after putting the pedal into bypass.

Infinite Repeats for Infinite Depth

The Canyon Echo also features a new style of Infinite Repeats where a single delay is repeated and the input is taken out of the delay path. This makes the pedal function like a micro tape looper that can be played over without new delays being created. The micro loop can also be manipulated into warped sound effects by adjusting the DELAY knob.
