Our echo looks like this.
The Fish Circuits ECHO LIMITEUR is a hybrid analog and digital delay with up to 1750ms of delay time and a limiter circuit on one of the two switchable feedback settings. The delay range of the MN3005 analog delay chip has been stretched as far as possible, just before becoming unstable, allowing for lo-fi or degraded repeats on longer delay times. And for the sake of versatility, said range can be extended in the case that higher-fi repeats are preferred. Not hi-fi, mind you, more like a cross between a tape echo, an analog delay, and a low battery radio.
The limiter function is probably the most uncommon element of this pedal. We probably should have started with that, it’s in the name after all. The limiter dynamically reduces the feedback of the delay and can be triggered by the dry or wet signal, or both. This allows to have infinite repeats that can self-regulate not to overpower your dry sound, and/or infinite repeats that reset with every picked note or chord, and/or simply two different loudness for said repeats. That, and users will without a doubt find many other ways to creatively use this feature.
