purple-and-black world of shifting warp zones and cyclical , musical beauty . I was bathed in a Frippertronic-esque factory of looping rhythmic joy . Though Echo Pitch is capable of a myriad of musical settings and is highly tuneable , the interface is completely intuitive . Each delay line features four parameters that read from left to right : Time , Pitch , Feed and Level . Tweaks for each can be controlled via touch screen and shift in a radial semi-circle . The Master Delay allows HiCut for repeat filtering , which can turn sharp mirror-like sound imaging into darker , more analog-sounding pads . One of my favorite things to do is to get a little loop going with the Master Delay and do real time shifting subtle tweaks to the loop for some trippy atmosphere conducting . One can also route the individual delay lines into each other in the Matrix mode , to twist time and space even further . I haven ’ t even mentioned presets yet . I am finding it hard to leave the tone-zone of “ Smokey Mirror ,” although I have tweaked it by adding overdrive to the delays and a healthy dollop of wet verb to the equation for extra spaghetti western-style grit and spit .
Echo Pitch is much more than a toy , but what a fun toy it is . It ’ s not unlike having a little taste of an Eventide H910 or TC Electronics 2290 vintage rack system on hand whenever you like , and Echo Pitch is more addictive than a bag of blue corn tortilla chips and a bowl full of fresh guacamole . Stop contemplating and just dig in . If one can ’ t have fun or get inspired by this app , there is something wrong with them and the fact that this much tonal exploration is available for a couple bucks makes Echo Pitch an unmissable affair . This app is easily the most fun I have had with a guitar and an iPhone . Kudos to Avi and Max for their ingenuity and for making a guitar product that will satisfy experimentalists and traditionalists alike — a very hard balance to strike .
Of course , I ’ d love to see an Echo Pitch dedicated hardware pedal with the same control set and extended features . Also , for those who are wondering if EP is going to get reverse delays and inter-app audio routing capabilities , both these features are in the works and will be available via update soon .
