In an image sourced from a video recently posted by the official 'the cabs' account, Kunimitsu Takahashi is seen using the Malekko Heavy Industry Ekko 616 Analog Delay pedal. It is identifiable as the bright red pedal with red tape over the knobs on the right side of his pedal board.
Geoff Kraly: On the bass end of things, the bass is going through the pedal board that you’ll see, so all the pedals are for the bass. There’s three distortion pedals, there’s a Devi Ever Bit, which is an 8-bit gated fuzz. There’s a Tech 21 VT Bass, which is a SansAmp distortion. I use it more like a clean boost in a way, it’s not heavily distorted. There’s a Prunes and Custard pedal by Crowther Audio, which is made in New Zealand. It’s kind of a filter distortion. There’s two delay pedals. One is a Malekko 616, and a crazy, Particle granular delay by Red Panda. Probably the biggest part of the sound for Paris Monster is the Eventide PitchFactor. That’s doing all the pitch shifting on a few different settings. That’s on 80% of the time in this band. Maybe a little less than that. Then, an Ernie Ball volume pedal. I think that’s about it. Yeah, and then some expression knobs and AUX switches for the Eventide.

In this youtube video from Fact Magazine for their Against The Clock series which takes place in Agar Agar's studio, Clara Cappagli uses a Malekko Ekko Analog Delay alongside the Korg Minilogue. It can be seen in use at the 9:16 mark, and at the end of the video around 11:39
I selected the mk1 version instead of the mk2 because of the shape of the enclosure which seems to have rounded corners in the first version and more straight corners in the second one.
