In this video, I check out the innovative Black Mountain Roto-Echo delay pedal. An incredible creative tool for the right player. It is robust, sounds warm and pleasing to the ear and allows for very interesting effects which I think could help players put themselves on a path to finding a signature sound. The Freewheel technology enables the player to control a selected parameter with their feet to produce wild echo effects which weren't previously possible without another person manipulating the delay pedal.
Key Features:
✔ A collaboration between Black Mountain and Third Man Hardware
✔ Foot-Controlled Adjustments: Change Time, Feedback, or Blend while you play!
✔ Analog-Style Delay: Warm, gritty echoes from 60ms to 588ms, emulating classic analog delay tones.
✔ Rugged Build: Built to handle full body weight on stage
✔ Play Sitting or Standing: Built for performance
The Roto-Echo is a collaboration between Black Mountain and Third Man Hardware.
Cole McBride, founder of Black Mountain, invented the wheel system called Freewheel® Technology.
Most delay pedals are static in nature—you can only switch them on or off with a footswitch while you play. The Roto-Echo features a built-in expression wheel that lets you shape parameters in real time with your foot as you play. You can sweep the feedback, adjust the blend, and modulate the delay time—all while keeping your hands free to play your instrument. This opens up creative possibilities that are usually limited to studio production.
