The MXR Joshua Ambient Echo is a gateway into iconic soundscapes, from tonal trips out of the ’60s and ’70s to ethereal cathedral-like ambience.

In the past, you needed a whole rack processor get the tones contained, but this pedal comes with everything you need to design your own path leading into the sonic universe, all in a modern and user-friendly format—and it’s already dialed in and ready to go!

Set the Rhythm with Tap Tempo

The footswitch can also be used as a tap tempo switch to set the rhythm of your primary repeats. Press and hold for 1 second to engage tap tempo mode, and then tap your desired rhythm.

Key Features

  • A Whole Plethora of Echo! – This pedal contains many different styles of echo, which is now all conveniently in one pedal.
  • Built-In Tap Tempo – By using the tap tempo, you can quickly and easily set the speed of the echo, giving you more control.
  • True Bypass – The pedal will not colour your signal, so it makes it easy to place in your signal chain without the fear of tone colouration.

Delay Pedals

Delay records the incoming signal for a chosen interval and repeats it after the original note. Feedback returns repeats to the delay line, while tone, filtering, modulation and saturation determine whether echoes remain clear, darken progressively, wobble like tape or degrade like analogue bucket-brigade circuits. Delay time and rhythmic subdivisions govern the spacing and musical pattern of the repeats.

Tags

Tap Tempo

Measures repeated foot taps and converts their interval into an effect rate or delay time. Subdivisions translate that pulse into dotted, triplet or other rhythmic values, while averaging and range limits influence how quickly and accurately the tempo settles.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
