PG contributor Tom Butwin walks us through a rugged, pedal‑board‑friendly delay that lets you shape time, feedback, and blend entirely with your foot. The Roto Echo features warm, gritty analog‑style echoes, intuitive real‑time control, and a design tough enough for full body weight. It sounds great on its own, but this wheel‐driven innovation opens up worlds of expressive possibilities.
Black Mountain Roto-Echo
Third Man Hardware and Black Mountain are excited to announce the innovative Roto-Echo delay pedal. Instead of tweaking delay parameters with your fingers, the pedal’s
Freewheel® Technology allows players to change them with their feet in real-time as they play –
a small change that leads to tons of creative possibilities.
The Roto-Echo is built tough and players can put their full weight onto the pedal with no
problem. It’s the same size as a regular Boss-style guitar pedal, and fits on any pedal board.
