Critic Reviews

Line 6 Echo Pro

soundonsound.com

The Line 6 Echo Pro receives high praise for its excellent user interface and convincing emulations of classic delay boxes. Musicians will appreciate its stereo balanced ins and outs, MIDI capabilities, and extended loop memory. However, the lack of integral footswitches for loop control without a MIDI controller is a downside. Overall, it's a professional upgrade from the Delay Modeler stomp box, offering impressive digital emulations of vintage echo sounds.

The Line 6 Echo Pro Delay Modeler impresses with its digital simulations of classic delay effects, providing rich sound without the hassle of maintaining vintage gear. Its rack mount design makes it more user-friendly than the stompbox version. While some delay settings like Sweep Echo may not hit the mark, overall, it enhances mixes significantly. Its performance stands strong against classic units like the Roland Space Echo, offering clean sound without background noise. A worthwhile investment, especially if found on sale.

Love this delay. Bought it from new when came out and took to clubs to use with my DJ sets. Used to get quite a reaction if used at the right time. You could drive those hi hats through the room. It’s been in my studio now for a long time. Has a great sound, especially the tape and tube.
