Versatile Modulation Options
Experience a wide range of modulation effects, from subtle thickening to dramatic pitch shifts, thanks to extended Rate and Depth controls that enhance creative possibilities.
KEY FEATURES
The Echo Fix EF-P3 Chorus Vibrato is a premium all-analogue BBD chorus and vibrato pedal that combines an extended control set, high-voltage internal operation, soft-touch switching and dedicated vibrato functionality to deliver everything from subtle modulation to fast rotary speaker-style effects with exceptional headroom and dynamic range.
Versatile Analogue Chorus and Vibrato
The Echo Fix EF-P3 builds on the character of classic bucket brigade chorus pedals while expanding their creative potential with a wider range of control. Designed around a genuine analogue BBD signal path, it produces warm, organic modulation that retains the depth and movement associated with vintage chorus effects while offering significantly greater flexibility.
The extended Rate and Depth controls allow users to dial in everything from gentle thickening and spacious chorus textures to dramatic pitch modulation and fast vibrato effects. This broader operating range makes the EF-P3 equally suitable for subtle enhancement, experimental sound design and expressive modulation.
Expanded Modulation Control
Unlike traditional analogue chorus pedals with limited adjustment, the EF-P3 introduces additional parameters that shape the character of the modulation in greater detail.
The Resonance control alters the feedback within the delay circuit, changing the richness and intensity of the modulation. Lower settings produce smooth, classic chorus tones, while higher settings introduce more pronounced movement and texture.
The Wave Shape control adjusts the modulation waveform, allowing users to move beyond conventional sine-wave modulation. This provides access to a wider variety of chorus and vibrato voices, from smooth and fluid movement to more rhythmic and distinctive modulation patterns.
Dedicated Vibrato Mode
The EF-P3 includes a dedicated Direct Mute footswitch that removes the dry signal, transforming the pedal from a chorus into a true analogue vibrato. With only the modulated signal present, the pedal produces expressive pitch modulation that ranges from gentle tape-style instability to dramatic rotary speaker-inspired wobble.
This dedicated switching system allows performers to move instantly between chorus and vibrato without changing any control settings.
Professional Performance
Echo Fix equips the EF-P3 with soft momentary switching to provide silent, noiseless operation when engaging either bypass or Direct Mute mode. This eliminates mechanical switching noise during live performance and studio recording.
An LED Rate Indicator flashes in time with the modulation speed, making it easy to monitor settings on stage or in the studio. A separate LED Overload Indicator warns when the input signal approaches clipping, helping users maintain optimum signal levels and maximum headroom.
High Headroom Analogue Design
Although powered from a standard 9V DC supply, the EF-P3 internally increases its supply voltage rails to provide greater dynamic range and improved headroom. This allows the analogue circuitry to accommodate stronger input signals with reduced distortion while preserving the natural warmth and detail of the BBD modulation circuit.
The pedal also features a high 1MΩ input impedance for excellent compatibility with guitars, basses and other instruments, alongside a low 1kΩ output impedance for reliable integration into pedalboards and professional audio systems.
