The folks at Gurus have celebrated a decade of tone magic in serious style! To mark their 10th anniversary, they’ve teamed up with none other than Steve Lukather to create a signature version of their legendary Echosex pedal. If you know Luke, you’ll know he’s been rocking the Echosex 2° and 3° since 2014 — on every track, in the studio and on stage with Toto and Ringo Starr all over the globe.

This is the Gurus Echosex 3° Steve Lukather Edition! Check out those green markings next to the controls — those are Luke’s go-to settings, hand-marked by his tech Jon Gosnell. Dial them in and you’re straight into Lukather’s world-class echo tone!

Controls

  • Volume Echo: Adjust the level of your repeats.
  • Echo Time: Set your delay time (35 ms to 730 ms), increasing counterclockwise.
  • Age of Damage: Adds that vintage vibe, from lush 3D modulation to subtle pitch shifting at max.
  • Tone: Shape the tone of your repeats — brighter or darker depending on feedback.
  • Length of Swell: A feedback control that lets you go from a single repeat to infinite self-oscillation.

Key Features

  • Redesigned power section: Tube now runs at 262V, just like the classic Binson units, for massive dynamics and harmonics. It works with any instrument without saturating the input.
  • Tap tempo: Nail your delay time quickly and precisely with a tap of your foot.
  • Tube-powered design: Pure analogue goodness for that warm, organic tone.
  • Top-mounted jacks: Save space and keep your pedalboard neat, so you can focus on playing, not cable chaos!

Delay

A delay pedal records your signal and plays it back after a set time, creating echoes that can range from tight, slapback repeats to long, atmospheric trails. It’s one of the most versatile effects, used to thicken tones, add rhythmic depth, or build spacious, ambient layers. Analogue delays offer warm, decaying repeats that blend naturally with your tone, while digital units provide pristine echoes with precise control over time, feedback, and mix levels.

From classic rockabilly and tape-style echoes to modern looping and shimmer effects, delay pedals have become essential tools for shaping sound. They can make solos soar, rhythms pulse, or transform simple chord progressions into cinematic textures. Whether used subtly to add dimension or boldly to create soundscapes, a good delay pedal can completely redefine the feel and atmosphere of your music.

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Pitch

Pitch pedals alter the frequency of your guitar signal, changing the perceived note or adding harmony. They can shift notes up or down by fixed intervals, create harmonies, or produce dive-bomb and whammy-style effects without a tremolo arm. Pitch shifters and harmonisers are great for thickening solos, simulating multiple guitars, or experimenting with creative, otherworldly sounds that expand your tonal range.

Vibe

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
