Absolutely love this plugin
I have no idea why it took me so long to buy the Echo Boy. I always heard tons of great things but took me a while to get it. It's has become my go to for echo...like a day after I got it. I have some awesome second and third place echo plugins that I love but it's really tough to beat the Echo Boy! Love running this parallel with the a reverb on vocals. Check out Sweetwater- they had it on sale for $50 bucks for AGES.

everyone needs this
this is the classic plugin EQ, it does it all.... weall know how great it can be. As a native plugin its rpetty intense CPU hit , co its not something to bust out when you wanna be subtle. So often something basic that came with the DAW will suffice, but when it must be standout delay and you don't want to through another 360 degrees of conversion to use a rack unit or guitar pedal? Right here, echo boy is what you need. I don't think this plugin is ever going to be replaced.

Not just a Delay... it's another INSTRUMENT...!
The 'Echo Boy' by Soundtoys is by far one of the most useful weapons one can ever deploy in the war on shitty music... it's SOOOOOO MUCH MORE than a delay unit... the 'Echo Boy' is a fuckin' Rhythm Machine Deluxe... Just apply it to anything rhythmic (hi-hats and shakers, drum beat loops, guitar parts, vocals, etc...) and tweak the knobs, experiment with its different MODES... Sure it can be used as a regular delay unit if that's what you want, but it goes places the other girls CAN'T...!!!

So much character
I'm not a great fan of the hardware-like UI of the SoundToys this plugins. They could be easier to use, I think. However, Echoboy more than makes up for it's fiddly UI with it's great, characterful sound.
