[NAMM] Pigtronix replaces its Echolution

The introduction of these two new Echolution 2 Ultra Pro and Filter Pro delay and filter pedals, that replace the Echolution 2 Basic and Deluxe effects respectively, comes with a new firmware for the previous models.

Both new Echolution 2 Ultra Pro and Filter Pro parallel delay and filter pedals received an improved USB port for easier connection to a computer and use of the software editor which was also enhanced and adds deeper edition features.

The Echolution 2 Ultra Pro features 30 effect algorithms that can be freely combined and controlled from an expression pedal and envelope mapping options are available via MIDI or the Mac/PC app in real time. A dual-digit preset indicator is also present on this new edition.

The Echolution 2 Filter Pro adds to the E2 Bqsic a multi-tap/tap division control as well as 8 new filter and pitch-shifted time-based effects.

Both new pedals will be available in August, Pigtronix announces prices of $449 for the Echolution 2 Ultra Pro and $329 for the Filter Pro version.
