General
Harness a powerful tape delay then mash it up with some modulation and mess with the pitch with the capable help of the SolidGoldFX EM-III Multi-Head Octave Echo. Home to an enormous range of possible effects, the SGFX essentially takes the ever-popular Electroman and then throws in a healthy dose of extra functions. Starting at the beginning, the delay time can be adjusted in real-time between 70 and 1,000 milliseconds using the built-in tap-tempo footswitch, and then important elements like the Time, Repeat and Level can be intuitively dialled in using the provided set of pots. For optimal rig integration, this pedal can be set in true bypass or buffered bypass modes, and since every example has been made by human hand in Montreal, Canada, you're guaranteed the best build quality possible.
The EM-III Multi-Head Octave Echo: Sonic Variation
Via the Color pot, the resulting tape-delay effect can be nudged from one end of the spectrum to deliver a bright tape echo to the other end for warm analogue repeats for a more lo-fi feel. Another great addition is the Warp switch which when activated, sends the effect spiralling into extreme self-oscillation, building into a wall of sound. The Glitch function give the 'tape' an aged character, while the Flutter controls the modulation intensity - push it all the way to the left for a chorus-style response, and push it over to the left for vibrato. Basically, with a mere handful of control pots, a vast sonic landscape can be shaped and explored at will, and then, as soon as you throw in the extra mini-switch, the whole effect can be pushed all the way down by an entire octave, giving the sound more body and a thicker feel. The SolidGoldFX EM-III is just as potent when coupled with a synth, as it is with a guitar.
