Features and functionality
-
The pedal offers a vast range of delay times, from short slapbacks to extended delays; infinite repeats are achievable with the repeats/blend and threshold knobs.
Source -
The left switch alters the momentary switch function, toggling between steady repeat wash and escalating feedback, providing dynamic control options.
Source -
The degrade knob's effect is subtle unless cranked nearly anti-clockwise; its impact varies based on other knob settings, showcasing its interactivity.
Source -
The pedal is noted for its unexpectedly warm, analog-like sound despite being digital, offering a murky and immersive tonal quality.
Source -
The threshold knob influences the extent of modulation and pitch shifting, especially when using the momentary switch for dynamic effects.
Source -
The Echo Degrader uniquely mimics a worn tape echo, with modulation responding dynamically to playing style, creating pitch shifts and warbles that blend into the mix.
Source -
Meet Maude's tone knob only affects repeats, allowing users to maintain a clear dry signal while altering the delay's character from muddy to crisp.
Source
User experience
-
The manual is noted as inadequate; users recommend exploring online forums like ILF for better operational understanding.
Source -
Each Echo Degrader unit can have unique tonal characteristics; some are reported to have warmer, lusher repeats and a mellower sound floor.
Source -
Echo Degrader's footprint is notably large and thick, potentially affecting pedalboard space but offering significant sound benefits that owners find worthwhile.
Source -
Owners find the Echo Degrader finicky due to interactive knobs and switches, requiring time to dial in preferred settings for optimal sound production.
Source
Use cases and applications
-
Cranking the delay time near maximum transforms the pedal into a 10-second looper, achieving nearly infinite repeats for creative looping.
Source -
Combining the Echo Degrader with a driven signal from pedals like the Euphoria can enhance the gritty texture of the repeats, requiring setting adjustments.
Source -
The Meet Maude's modulation, derived from its concept pedal Shallow Water, excels in creating dark, murky textures that sit under the main notes.
Source -
The Echo Degrader excels in producing huge lead sounds when paired with an overdrive, thanks to its high headroom and ability to handle dirt well.
Source
Value and pricing
-
Both the Echo Degrader and Meet Maude are found on Reverb at approximately $200, significantly cheaper than their new retail prices.

Artist usage
Add artist
The confidence shines through on Skinty Fia, especially when the two axe-slingers choose to embrace a little sonic chaos. On the dark drum-and-bass-influenced opening track “In ár gCroíthe go deo” (“In Our Hearts Forever”), O’Connell tees up another locked tremolo effect, eventually morphing into an otherworldly chorus effect, mirrored by Curley, of what sounds like distant dogs howling. “It’s only at the end where my guitar comes in,” Curley clarifies. “I’m just following the bass with the chords, at a very high frequency, and with delays at the end of every phrase. I hit my [Industrialectric] Echo Degrader, and that’s what really sends it into a spin.”
On the Curley-penned “Nabokov,” the layers of noise lean heavily on classic shoegaze and dub, with Curley again availing himself of the Echo Degrader. “That pedal is so unpredictable, it’s almost like it doesn’t sound the same every time you use it. I’ve been using that and an RV-7 [by Digitech Hardwire] for gated and reverse reverb. There were definitely a lot more shoegazey elements that we were trying to get to, and, obviously, if you start talking about Kevin Shields or even Robin Guthrie from Cocteau Twins, the stuff they did, to me, is almost unreachable, but if you try, you might end up with something new anyway.”
