Shuttle-Echo: Imperfect Echoes for a Unique Sound
Looking for a delay with character? The Shuttle-Echo plugin from Shuttleplug focuses on creating echoes with interesting, lively variations and unique “imperfections” in the repeats. It’s a tool for those who appreciate the individuality of sound.
From recreating classic slap-back effects with a vintage touch to completely crazy, unpredictable echoes – Shuttle-Echo can easily handle it. The ability to modulate the delay time opens the door to psychedelic soundscapes and unconventional rhythmic effects.
The extended version Shuttle-Echo_extended1.2, included in the package, adds a dedicated LFO section to control the filter frequency, providing even more flexibility in shaping the timbre of your echoes.
